The SSURGO dataset, from which this shapefile is derived, is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Accompanying this file are text files, which provide supplemental information about the soil codes in the shapefile attribute table. This file was subset from a Clinton County-wide ArcInfo coverage created by the Mann Library at Cornell University. This ESRI polygon shapefile is intended to show soil classifications in the region immediately surrounding the Little Chazy River Watershed.

description: These GIS files represent geographic boundaries for lands that are under the protection of NYS Agricultural District Law, administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. The boundaries are derived from New York State Agricultural District, 1:24,000-scale, maps produced at county agencies. The district boundaries correspond to tax parcel data. District boundaries are joined into a file representing all of the Agricultural Districts within an entire county. Note that 2003 legislation allows lands to be added to districts on an annual basis. Electronic data provided here may predate those additions. Tax parcel detail and secondary rights-of-way are not included in this dataset. Rights-of-way for state and federal highways, railroads and utilities are only included when they are delineated on the original 1:24,000 scale maps. The data files are in ArcGIS shapefile format.; abstract: These GIS files represent geographic boundaries for lands that are under the protection of NYS Agricultural District Law, administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.

This ESRI ArcView 3.x shapefile shows the Agricultural District Boundaries subset for the region immediately surrounding the Little Chazy River Watershed with attribute data. The original data were digitized from 1:24000 maps and were developed by Cornell Institute for Resource Information Systems (Cornell IRIS) and entitled Clinton County Agricultural Districts.

Digital orthophoto quarter quads covering the Little Chazy River watershed are included with the dataset. Original photographs are rectified to a UTM Zone 18 NAD83 map base. Files have a 1 meter pixel ground resolution. DOQQs were created from color infrared imagery, so that vegetation shows up in different shades of red.

This ESRI polygon shapefiele is intended to give a general indication of bedrock types in the watershedBedrock classes were mapped at a scale of 1:250000 for the New York State Education Department, NYS Museum, by NYS Geological Survey. While not an ideal scale for a watershed this size, it can give a general idea of bedrock types.

Fault lines were derived from a 1977 map of brittle structures. This ESRI line shapefile is intended to give a general idea of geological fault location and types in the Little Chazy River watershed.

Streams and water bodies were digitized in PC ArcInfo on all or part of six USGS 7.5’ topographic maps within a rectangular study area encompassing the Little Chazy River Watershed in Clinton County, New York. These GIS data have been converted to an ESRI line shapefile and an ESRI polygon shapefile.

Land cover polygons were delineated on 1985 imagery and transferred to 7.5’ USGS topographic quadrangles. Polygons were digitized and attributed in PC ArcInfo. This file is an ESRI polygon shapefile converted from the ArcInfo coverage.

This ESRI polygon shapefile is intended to show best estimated aquifer locations within the immediate region of the Little Chazy River Watershed. Original aquifer data were in polygon shapefile format and subset using the NAD83bndy file developed for this project. Aquifers are classed according to confinement and yields are estimated. Original dataset created by NYS Department of Health, Center for Environmental Health, Bureau of Public Water Supply Protection.

This file was derived from a dBase list of mines permitted since 1983. Mines within the Little Chazy River watershed are all sand and gravel mines. This ESRI point shapefile is intended to illustrate mine types within the watershed. Original data not intended for precise locations.
