- Abstract
- This line data layer represents the shoreline of the Great Lakes for the United States and Canada in 2006. The dataset was originally published by the Great Lakes Information Network on December 12, 2006.[NOAA's Medium Resolution Digital Shoreline is a high-quality, general use digital vector dataset compiled from NOAA Nautical Charts, created by the Strategic Environmental Assessments Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources, Conservation and Assessment. Nominal mapping scale is 1:70,000.]
- Purpose
- This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [The product is designed to meet the demanding needs of a broad target audience. Potential subscribers include government agencies, universities and other research institutions, the private sector, and students, as well as any other concern requiring a general purpose digital shoreline layer for GIS and cartographic projects.]
