Shoreline



Description

Data for the State of Georgia Medium Resolution Digital Vector Shoreline was derived from the NOAA Medium Resolution Digital Vector Shoreline for the United States.

The NOAA Medium Resolution, 1:70,000, Digital Vector Shoreline is a high quality, GIS-Ready digital document containing the coastline of the contiguous United States of America. The shoreline was created from data captured (digitized from scanned images of the master separates of the NOS Charts) from over 270 National Ocean Service Navigation Charts and spans some 80,000 nautical miles at an average map scale of 1:70,000. The data set is designed for a broad target audience ranging from governmental agencies, universities and other research institutions, to the private sector, and students, as well as any other concern requiring a general purpose digital shoreline layer for GIS and cartographic projects.
