This data is also available for download as a zip archive in shapefile format.Digital parcel files for the Town of Amherst, MA as of December 31, 2013. The Town converted its existing analog tax maps to digital format in 1998. At the time of conversion, tax maps consisted of 108 27"x39" mylar sheets at 1"=100', originally created in 1957 from controlled and rectified photography taken by Air Survey Inc. (VA) in 1956. The tax maps were scanned, and digital line files were created with text annotation. The new line files were then overlayed onto digital color orthophotos produced in 1999, and updated, by first matching road right-of-ways, then adjusting all parcel boundaries. This data set is a spatial view that is created through a one-to-many join between TOA_Parcels_Poly and TOA_CAMA_TABLE. The join is through Map & Lot, which creates stacked parcel polygons in cases where there are multiple block numbers (accounts) for one parcel; this occurs primarily with condominium complexes, as well as with properties with agricultural preservation restrictions. This data set is refreshed on a nightly basis & reflects current information from the Town of Amherst Assessor's Vision Appraisal Database.

Using digital soils data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, a series of selections and calculations classified soil associations into 9 different categories of prime forest based ultimately on forest productivity in white pine and red oak. Other data sets were used to refine this classification, including aspect, 1999 land use - land cover, riparian, slope position, wetlands, hydrologic soil association and unique areas. The hydrologic soil associations were based on NRCS information that came as Access files with the soils data. All other data was available from MassGIS.The project “Soil Productivity Mapping for Use in Forest Management” is a digital representation of work done previously in the Department of Natural Resources Conservation at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. GIS data created for this project followed (where possible) the protocol established in UMass Research Bulletin #705 – Prime Forest Land Classification for Forest Productivity in Massachusetts.Also see https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-prime-forest-land for full metadata and access to data download.

This public feature service is maintained for the Nashua Regional Planning Commission's (NRPC) member municipalities, their stakeholders, and the wider GIS community. The service contains the most frequently-requested, general-purpose GIS basemap datasets that are originated and maintained by NRPC. The service can be used by any software that can ingest an ESRI rest endpoint, including ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS Online.Edits to these datasets are made in NRPC's on-premise GIS database on an ongoing basis; online published data are refreshed weekly through an automatic script.This hosted feature view containing data specific to Amherst, NH is a derivative of NRPC Open Data - All Communities feature service which is regional in nature; i.e., the geographic coverage includes the entire NRPC region. For convenience, NRPC has published community-specific hosted feature views for each of its 13-member communities. Non-GIS users are invited to browse the data in MapGeo, NRPC's interactive parcel viewer.

This MassGIS Land Use data layer has 21 land use classifications interpreted from 1999 1:25,000 aerial photography. Photointerpretation and automation were done by the Resource Mapping Project at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. All land use categories were aggregated from 104 categories originally defined in 1971 by Professor William MacConnell at the Dept. of Forestry at UMass Amherst.Please see https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-land-use-1951-1999 for more details.Map service also available.
