Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems (MEGIS) 03/15/2013 Unknown vector digital data Augusta ME Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems http://www.maine.gov/megis/catalog/ Metwp24P METWP24 depicts political boundaries, common town names, and geocodes for Maine at 1:24,000 scale. The coverage was created from USGS, 7.5 minute map series, town boundaries. The Maine GIS base layer COAST, which contains Maine's coastal Mean High Water (MHW) mark and Maine islands, was used in the development of METWP24. To correct mapping errors and reflect recent changes to Minor Civil Division (MCD) boundaries, arcs and polygons have been added to or updated in METWP24 from: photorevised USGS data; Maine GIS base layer coincident features; legal descriptions; GPS data; and Maine Department of Transportation (MEDOT) engineering plans. METWP24 contains USGS 1:100,000 scale data and U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census, TIGER Line Files 1990 and 2000 where these provide a more correct or best available representation of a dataset feature. METWP24 was created to show political boundaries, common town names and Maine geocodes at 1:24,000 scale. Data at this scale is suitable for detailed studies and local planning.

An offshore limit line - Originally drafted at 1:250,000 by the Bureau of Land management (BLM) for managing Federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) leasing programs, the protraction diagram limit line was later plotted at 1:100,000 scale and provided in digital form to the US Census Bureau for use their TIGER Line Files. While this line is located approximately three nautical miles from the shoreline, it is technically the protraction diagram limit line not the actual three mile limit line and is used for closure purposes only in Maine GIS maps depicting coastal waters of Maine. Where reliable data for the depiction of town boundaries beyond the coastline were not available, lines called connectors or arcs that extend from the coastline to this offshore limit line were added to METWP24 to correct query results for specific applications and for cartographic purposes. They are easily removed from the line feature class by selecting all arcs coded TYPE = connector and from the polygon feature class by selecting only features where LAND = 'y'. Data set is complete.

Geocodes have undergone subsequent revisions, all of which were "officially" rolled back to this 1971 list by Maine's Information Services Policy Board (ISPB), as of January 2000. In 1971, all Maine state agencies were requested to implement these five digit geocodes, in agency information systems, to build a base of data for Maine's Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs) and to promote data sharing. Data coded by MCD may subsequently be summarized by any other type of region, administrative district, natural area, etc. The first two digits of the geocode represent the federal code (FIPS) for Maine counties, the remaining three digits uniquely identify each of Maine's MCDs and Reservations.

The following information on the origin and accuracy of the offshore limit line was provided by USGS: "According to USGS preliminary policy directive, dated January 6, 1977, the offshore protraction survey data (offshore limit line represented in METWP24) was originally shown only on 1:250000 scale topographic/bathymetric maps. In response to additional user requirements the decision was later made to show this data on all 1:100000 and 1:250000 scale maps regardless of the availability of bathymetry (Supplemental Topographic Instruction (STI 80/2/C, March 17, 1980). The offshore protraction surveys were prepared by the Bureau of Land management (BLM) for managing Federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) leasing programs. The protraction surveys were plotted by BLM at 1:250000 scale to produce the OCS Official Protraction Diagrams. In October 1982, the responsibility for preparing leasing maps was transferred from BLM to the Minerals Management Service (STI 83-5-C, August 26, 1983). The Information was plotted on 1:100,000 scale maps from copy that was enlarged from the 1:250000 scale graphics. The information on the 100,000 scale maps was provided in digital form to the Census Bureau for their TIGER Line Files. The offshore protraction diagram limit line parallel to the shoreline on the Official Protraction Diagrams is not identified as a territorial limit line or labeled on USGS maps as the three mile or three league line. While this line is located approximately three nautical miles from the shoreline, it is technically the protraction diagram limit line, not the actual three mile limit line. . . .the protraction limit line . . . can only be as accurate as the original source (BLM Official Protraction Diagrams).

All the data layers were converted using the ArcInfo (version 7.2.1) NADCON conversion and the "project" command. All data was copied to double precision, projected to NAD83, and then copied back to single precision. It was decided to keep the NAD27 quad structure instead of generating new quad boundaries from NAD83 coordinates - all indexes (quads) were projected to NAD83 by using the same process previously described. All MEGIS data libraries in ArcInfo Librarian were repopulated using the NAD83 indexes and data. 19990701 (MEGIS) Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems David Kirouac mailing and physical address

Letter from Chief Rodney Myrick, Hallowell 03/17/2004 indicates both municipalities are in agreement that at the "bend on Chickadee Lane" the boundary line running northeasterly from Blaine Road should "cross over to the north side [of Chickadee Lane and run] all the way down to Water Street". For this area, many points, features and historic references in PS1852Ch549, An Act to Incorporate the Town of Farmingdale, have been lost. Both towns have referred to a plan of the area by Ansel L. Hill, dated February 7, 1972. The "Old Stone Monuments" documented in the Hill plan have also not been located. Digital mapping cannot rectify this, or substitute for resurvey and clarification of the boundary; however, map changes based on the information provided may be a better approximation of what the municipalities agree is their historical boundary than the current USGS depiction. The intersection of Chickadee Lane with Water Street/Maine Avenue appears to be within 10 meters of the location of an old stone monument shown on the Hill plan marked "F on S'ly side and H on N'ly side". E911 GPS data for Chickadee Lane has been used to depict a line running west from that intersection to an approximate point of intersection with a line running northeasterly from Blaine Road. 20040517 (MEGIS) Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems GIS Coordinator GIS Coordinator mailing address

Augusta ME 04333-0174 USA 207 624-7700 207 287-3842 Monday through Friday 0800 - 1700 EST MEDOT columns RTAC, DIVISION, DISTRICT, DIVTAG were replaced by the new columns DOT_REGION and DOT_REGNUM. The current CIREG column will be replaced by a new column ISLANDID. The new ISLANDID column will provide an island identifier for each coastal island. A subset of island identifiers are CIREG numbers, which will be indicated by a new CIREG column coded "y/n". Improved CIREG number coding, island identification and depicition, the result of a multiagency coordination effort for the 1:24000 scale base layers, was added to METWP24. The work was completed for HYD24P in 2003. SUMMARY Islands3 Coverage 7200 mapped features 6995 mapped islands or ledges (2016 of which have names derived from USGS 15' quads) 1281 Maine islands or ledges with an identifier added 35 Canadian islands with CA prefix and an identifier greater than or equal to 1000 [added see MEIFW email JKenney 06/26/2003] - New Hampshire islands with with NH prefix and an identifier greater than or equal to 1000 ["] 5679 Maine islands or ledges with an identifier, 5473 of which are unique identifiers (some identifiers point to multiple polygons - e.g. ledges). 3671 Maine islands or ledges with an identifier listed in the Coastal Island Registry, 3471 of which are unique identifiers (some identifiers point to multiple polygons - e.g. ledges). 2008 Maine islands or ledges with an identifier assigned by the College of the Atlantic, 2002 of which are unique identifiers (some identifiers point to multiple polygons - e.g. ledges). 621 added polygons - 114 from the "Coast" layer, 505 from DRGs or DOQs (heads-up digitizing), 2 from the revised "Coast" layer, which is based on newer USGS quads for Moose River, Cutler, Machias Bay, Cross Island (provided by David Kirouac) ATTRIBUTES IslandID (C16) - This field contains all of the verified Coastal Island Registry identifiers and the identifiers added by the College of the Atlantic. All coastal features were assigned an ISLANDID. Those previously indicated "No ID" have been assigned an identifier greater than or equal to 1000 [added see MEIFW email JKenney 06/26/2003]. Canadian islands - with CA prefix and an identifier greater than or equal to 1000 ["] New Hampshire islands - with with NH prefix and an identifier greater than or equal to 1000. ["] All Coastal Island Registry identifiers in this layer match the Coastal Island Registry identifiers on the paper maps at the Department of conservation and the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. All future assignments of ISLANDID should be made through MEIFW. 20060630 (MEGIS) Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems GIS Coordinator GIS Coordinator mailing address

Augusta ME 04333-0174 USA 207 624-7700 207 287-3842 Monday through Friday 0800 - 1700 EST Regarding Island of Moosehead Lake, Piscataquis County Geocode 21000. The laws describing the boundaries of Piscataquis County defined the western boundary as containing all of the Lake itself, and "all islands that lay therein" (or something to that effect), so the islands are defined by statute as belonging to the county. They are not included in the legal descriptions for any of the shoreland towns, therefore, It was decided in the early years of GIS in Maine (1999) to assign the general Piscataquis 21000 number to the islands. 1999 (MEDOT) Maine Department of Transportation GIS Coordinator GIS Coordinator mailing

ESRI Shapefile ARC Version 9.x ArcGIS Shapefile Format MEGIS has all vector layers in the Maine GIS Internet Data Catalog available in ESRI's ArcGIS shapefile format. A shapefile is a simple non-topological format that stores the geometry and attribute information for a set of geographic features as a set of vector (point, line, polygon) coordinates. Shapefiles draw quickly and directly in ArcView, ArcGIS, ArcExplorer. Shapefiles are a compatible data type for many other types of GIS software. Three files are fundamental to each shapefile: .shp stores the feature geometry (shape and location information); .shx stores the index of the feature geometry; .dbf a dBASE (TM) file stores the attribute information for the features. Other index files may be created to help speed analysis and query: these file formats are .sbn .sbx .ain .aix .fbn and .fbx. In addition you may find projection .prj, and metadata .xml, files associated with shapefiles. Data available from this website is in .zip compressed format. WinZip is a Windows based, PKZip-compatible compression utility. You will need a program like this to extract the data. http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/ If you are not already a GIS user, free software for viewing these files is available from Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.

Geographic Information Systems Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems (MEGIS) These data derive primarily from the METWP24 boundary data for Maine. Where the legislation indicates that towns or entire counties are part of a district, METWP was simply attributed for these districts. Where the legislation provides census tracts or blocks or subunits as the district description, the 2010 census blocks were used. First the legislation, which is a long string of towns and census units, was parsed out into a text file with a standard format, such as this: SD24 COUNTY Cumberland TOWN Brunswick; Freeport; Harpswell; North Yarmouth; Pownal A Python script was written which then read this datafile and selected out the corresponding towns or census units and computed their district. Both datasets were then dissolved to the district attribute and the two resulting datasets were manually merged to preserve the town boundaries from METWP24 while splitting towns along the census lines. This methodology was repeated for each of the three datasets: Senate, House, and County Commissioners districts. These data derive primarily from the METWP24 boundary data for Maine.

Completeness was evaluated by querying for NULL attributes and ensuring all polygons were attributed. Visual inspections also were conducted.
