The 2022 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. The cartographic boundary files include both incorporated places (legal entities) and census designated places or CDPs (statistical entities). An incorporated place is established to provide governmental functions for a concentration of people as opposed to a minor civil division (MCD), which generally is created to provide services or administer an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places always nest within a state, but may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. CDPs are delineated for the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. The boundaries for CDPs often are defined in partnership with state, local, and/or tribal officials and usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity. CDP boundaries often change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern and development; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. The only population/housing size requirement for CDPs is that they must contain some housing and population. The generalized boundaries of most incorporated places in this file are based on those as of January 1, 2022, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The generalized boundaries of all CDPs are based on those delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

Community Boundaries from Survey Points - Dukes County.This datalayer provides the legislatively authorized town boundary survey points for the 7 communities/Towns of Dukes County, Massachusetts. This layer contains points representing the coordinates of town corners and witness marks.Attribute Coordinates of North83 and East83 are in in NAD83 Mass. State Plane meters. The original dataset from MassGIS is in Mass Stateplane Mainland NAD83 meters. The dataset was NOT reprojected prior to upload into ArcGIS OnLine.The survey point locations depicted in this data set are based on coordinate values 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.The Martha's Vineyard Commission downloaded the full MassGIS Town Survey Points dataset in June of 2020 and extracted only those points within Dukes County. While the State-wide dataset has been updated, since this download, not modifications have applied to Dukes County towns.Full MassGIS Metadata

The Martha's Vineyard Commission compiled this web map but all data displayed in this web map are served out directly from MassGIS.Per MassGIS:Core Habitat identifies areas critical for the long-term persistence of rare species, exemplary natural communities, and resilient ecosystems.Critical Natural Landscape identifies large landscapes minimally impacted by development and buffers to core habitats and coastal areas, both of which enhance connectivity and resilience.This is the MassGIS overview of BioMap. Click here for TNC's detailed, deep-dive into BioMap (2022 release).To learn more about the many components within the BioMap Core Habitat and Critical Natural Landscapes please review this story map.The map only shows the parcel data for those towns within Dukes County. For each town, parcel data are updated about once a year by their parcel data consultant. All parcel data comply with the MassGIS Level 3 Parcel Data Standard. By clicking on a parcel on the map, you will see the applicable Fiscal Year of the parcel data in the pop-up.

This collection of geo-referenced photos vary with regards to spatial accuracy and resolution. Use the hotlinks below to learn the details of each collection or review MassGIS's new story map explaining all the vintages of aerial photos. Tip: Reviewing that story map might be an easier way to digest the information rather than reviewing the more formal/standard metadata accessible via the hotlinks below.Within the web map certain layers will only be visible at particular zoom extents. If a layer is unavailable to turn on/off, then zoom in or out as needed until the layer becomes active.All photos, except year 1938, are captured during leaf-off (typically late winter/early spring). With the exception of the 1938 & 1990s collection, all photos are in true color. The 1938 & 1990s are in black and white. With regards to Dukes County (which includes the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands) these are the applicable years of acquisition for those State-wide collections that span multiple years: "1990s collection" -- Only year 1999 for Dukes County"2001-2003 collection" -- Only year 2003 for Dukes County"2008-2009 collection" - Only year 2009 for Dukes County"2011-2012 collection" - Only year 2011 for Dukes County"2013-2014 collection" - Only year 2014 for Dukes CountyPhoto Details (Metadata)1938 Black & White Aerials (georeferenced & hosted by Harvard Forest)1990s Black & White Aerials2001-2003 Color Aerials2005 Color Aerials2008-2009 Color Aerials2011-2012 Color Aerials2013-2014 Color Aerials2015 Satellite Images - Extra Details2019 Color Aerials2021 Color Aerials2023 Color AerialsParcel Lines -- These data are NOT survey grade and are intended for general reference only. The parcel data comply with the MassGIS Level 3 parcel data standard. Each town in Dukes County hires a GIS Consultant to prepare their digital parcel lines and to link the properties to the respective records from the town's assessing database. The linkage is static and not updated in real-time - it is only 'as current' as the day the data was exported from the assessing database. The Martha's Vineyard Commission does not edit nor maintain any assessing data or parcel lines/property bounds. Each town within Dukes County updates their digital parcel data when they see fit (most, typically, update annually). Click on a specific town in this map to see when their parcel data was updated and by whom. Similarly, clicking on a parcel in this "MA Aerial Photos Since 1990s web map" will show you the applicable Fiscal Year the assessing info was exported.

This polygon feature class contains the land, pond, and offshore areas within Dukes County MA. These data are intended for cartographic display and not survey-grade, legal definition.This dataset was compiled from several other datasets published by MassGIS. The coastline and inland ponds are believed to be at 1:25,000 scale based on wetlands data from the early 2000. The 3-mile extent is from an offshore 1:80,000 scale feature class. The town boundaries (on land) are from the Community Boundaries dataset of 2002. The town bounds across ponds were created by the MVC based on USGS topo maps.All data processing was done in ArcPro using primarily Identity geoprocessing tool to merge the various datasets together & to distinguish land, ponds, and off-shore. The attribute [type] was added to indicate a polygon as land, pond, or offshore.The two key files used from the MVC's data inventory were [town_detailed_duk_noh2o] and [interior_town_arcs6].Note: There are many town boundary datasets available and discrepancies in the town bounds among those datasets are numerous. This dataset of extents, does not claim to be the 'official' record of town bounds. If you need 'official', survey-grade data, please look elsewhere.
