Description: Surface Waters - Newton, Massachusetts. This data layer contains ponds and the Charles River in and around Newton. Previously in support of regional mapping, Newton maintained two separate surface water layers; one originally from Boston Edison and one from MassGIS. The first layer was clipped to the Newton city boundary while the second showed features in surrounding towns. The two layers did not line up well and created odd looking boundaries in the middle of the Charles River. To fix this problem the MassGIS polygons were adopted and a [DISPLAY] field was added to allow the user to show features only within Newton if desired.
Description: The political boundary datalayer is a polygon representation of town boundaries created from arcs developed from survey coordinates extracted from the 68-volume Harbor and Lands Commission Town Boundary Atlas for the 351 communities (cities and towns) in Massachusetts. The Atlas was published in the early 1900's and is maintained by the Survey Section of Massachusetts Highway Department. For communities with a coastal boundary, MassGIS has collaborated with Massachusetts Water Resources Authority and the Department of Environmental Protection to complete a 1:12000 scale coastline. The boundary for the coastline was defined as being the upland side of tidal flats and rocky inter-tidal zones. Note that the 351 communities are the official municipal names, not including "villages" or other sections of towns.
