MassWildlife bathymetry contour lines for many lakes and ponds with public access in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) has mapped bathymetry (measures of water depth) at a scale of 1:10,000 for some inland water lakes and ponds in Massachusetts. The data were gathered on boats by a GPS/depth sounder. The data samples were then extrapolated to form contour lines and a depth surface. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection provided sounding data gathered during water quality surveys to augment MassWildlife's data for a small number of water bodies. See full metadata. Map service also available.

This application provides users with detailed information on hunting opportunities available on Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Division of Water Supply Protection (DWSP) land in central Massachusetts. This is comprised of multiple pages that provide information (as text) and two interactive maps. The first interactive map is the Hunting Map, which provides all of the information a hunter might need to plan a successful hunt. The information in this map provides a comprehensive look at where hunting is allowed, the permits required, and the locations of features like fields and stone walls (and more!). The second interactive map is the Harvest Map, which provides hunters with information on deer harvested as part of the Quabbin Controlled Deer Hunts since 2010; this map is included for interest and informational purposes only. Learn more about each map below. For accessible PDF versions of this information, please select from one of the following options:Full Public Access Plan (PDF)Public Access Summary (PDF)Hunting Map InformationThis interactive map highlights hunting opportunities on DCR-DWSP land in central Massachusetts. The key data layers to this map are:Waterfowl Hunting Opportunities - a collection of points highlighting various waterbodies within the DWSP watersheds where waterfowl hunting is or is not allowed. For waterbodies that allow hunting, detailed information on exactly what is or is not allowed is provided in the feature pop-up, or in the attribute table record. Each feature pop-up also tells the user if trapping is allowed at a waterbody.Gates for Parking and Access - this layer shows the point locations of gates that can be used for parking or access onto DWSP lands. Depending on the type of point selected, the user will be provided with information on the number of parking spots available, a word of caution and (when available) photo(s) of the location. DCR-DWSP Lands by Permit Type - this polygon layer shows DWSP property boundaries and indicates if (and what type) of hunting is allowed in a certain area. These serve as a backdrop to all other data presented within the map. Click on a feature for more information, or review the attribute table to see what activities are allowed. Many layers in this map have a visibility constraint placed on them, and will only appear in the map as the user zooms in closer to an area. This helps ensure the map does not become cluttered when viewed at the full map extent. This map also contains numerous reference layers which provide important contextual information, such as the locations of marked intersections with labels for intersection number, locations of road and trails (with name and basic information on trail markings), locations of portable toilets, locations of Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), hydrography, such as streams with names labeled, wetlands and lakes/ponds with names labeled and town boundaries. A group layer provides a collection of layers specifically relevant to the Quabbin Controlled Deer Hunts and includes: road barriers, marked intersections, hunt check-in locations, moose survey stations, deer check stations, and special road access.Together, this information provides a comprehensive map detailing where hunting and trapping is allowed within the DWSP watersheds and what specific hunting and trapping activities are allowed at each location. This map can help users plan a successful visit to DWSP property. When accessed through the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, each layer's attribute table can be accessed, providing data in an alternative format. This map is also compatible with ArcGIS Field Maps and can be downloaded to "go offline", enabling a user access to the downloaded portion of the map when there is no cell service. Harvest Map InformationDeer Harvested by Weight - a collection of points showing where deer have been harvested during the Quabbin Controlled Deer Hunt within the Quabbin Reservoir Watershed. These points are symbolized to differentiate between male (dark blue circles with a light blue outline) and female (light red diamonds with a dark maroon outline) deer. DCR-DWSP Lands by Permit Type - this polygon layer shows DWSP property boundaries and indicates the type of permit required to hunt in any given area. This layer is configured to display four types of features; areas where a 5-Year Access Permit is required is shown in dark teal, areas where a Two-Day Deer Controlled Hunt Permit is required are shown in light orange, areas where a Deer Shotgun Season Controlled Hunt Permit is required are shown in bright yellow with dark yellow dots, and No Hunting Allowed areas are shown in a dark red. Click on a feature for more information, or review the attribute table to see what activities are allowed.Many layers in this map have a visibility constraint placed on them, and will only appear in the map as the user zooms in closer to an area.

The Water Quality Monitoring Station data layer was compiled by staff within the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), Division of Watershed Management (DWM), Watershed Planning Program (WPP) to fulfill Federal Clean Water Act reporting requirements.

The Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) directs states to monitor and report on the condition of their water resources. The Water Quality Monitoring Stations data layer was compiled by MassDEP staff in fulfillment of CWA mandates. The stations data layer represents water quality monitoring locations sampled by WPP staff from 1983 to 2022.

Four types of WPP monitoring stations are detailed below. Each station, stored as a single point in the data layer, represents a location that was sampled on one or more occasions during one or more years by WPP staff or their agents:

Fish Toxics Stations: 1983-2022 (n=446); locations where whole fish were collected for subsequent tissue analysis of one or more contaminants. Coverage may include MassDEP Office of Research & Standards (ORS) Mercury Project sampling locations if also sampled by WPP.Fish Population Stations: 2005-2011 (n=177); locations where fish were collected, identified, measured, and released and where habitat quality conditions have been recorded. Locations for 2012-2022 sampling will be provided in a future update.Benthic Macroinvertebrate Stations: 1983-2022 (n=1290); locations where samples of benthic macroinvertebrates have been collected for subsequent subsampling and taxonomic identification and where habitat quality conditions have been recorded. (“Macroinvertebrate” is defined to include all aquatic members of the Annelida; all aquatic Mollusca; aquatic macro-Crustacea; aquatic Arachnida; and the aquatic life stages of Insecta—the exception being the Collembola, Hemiptera, and adult Coleoptera other than Elmidae).Water Quality Stations: 1994-2022 (n=3111); locations where water quality monitoring has been conducted, including one or more of the following data types: discrete or continuous in-situ probe measurements (e.g., dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, specific conductance); laboratory results for water samples (e.g., bacteria, nutrients, algal toxins, metals, organics); or general site observations. Note: for display purposes, stations are differentiated into two major types: Surface Water (e.g., River/Stream, Lake, Estuarine) or Discharge (e.g., Facility Industrial, Facility Municipal Sewage (POTW), Storm Sewer).

Stations can overlap if they were monitored for more than one survey type.The water quality monitoring stations should be displayed with the MassDEP DWM WPP Watersheds data layer, which is included in this service. Those delineations are based on MassGIS 'Major Basins' layer but modified by WPP to reflect surface drainage areas used for the Massachusetts Integrated Report: Multi-part List of Waters (IR).

This dataset combines the work of several different projects to create a seamless data set for the contiguous United States. Data from four regional Gap Analysis Projects and the LANDFIRE project were combined to make this dataset. In the northwestern United States (Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and Wyoming) data in this map came from the Northwest Gap Analysis Project. In the southwestern United States (Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah) data used in this map came from the Southwest Gap Analysis Project. The data for Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia came from the Southeast Gap Analysis Project and the California data was generated by the updated California Gap land cover project. The Hawaii Gap Analysis project provided the data for Hawaii. In areas of the county (central U.S., Northeast, Alaska) that have not yet been covered by a regional Gap Analysis Project, data from the Landfire project was used. Similarities in the methods used by these projects made possible the combining of the data they derived into one seamless coverage. They all used multi-season satellite imagery (Landsat ETM+) from 1999-2001 in conjunction with digital elevation model (DEM) derived datasets (e.g. elevation, landform) to model natural and semi-natural vegetation. Vegetation classes were drawn from NatureServe's Ecological System Classification (Comer et al. 2003) or classes developed by the Hawaii Gap project. Additionally, all of the projects included land use classes that were employed to describe areas where natural vegetation has been altered. In many areas of the country these classes were derived from the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD). For the majority of classes and, in most areas of the country, a decision tree classifier was used to discriminate ecological system types. In some areas of the country, more manual techniques were used to discriminate small patch systems and systems not distinguishable through topography. The data contains multiple levels of thematic detail. At the most detailed level natural vegetation is represented by NatureServe's Ecological System classification (or in Hawaii the Hawaii GAP classification). These most detailed classifications have been crosswalked to the five highest levels of the National Vegetation Classification (NVC), Class, Subclass, Formation, Division and Macrogroup. This crosswalk allows users to display and analyze the data at different levels of thematic resolution. Developed areas, or areas dominated by introduced species, timber harvest, or water are represented by other classes, collectively refered to as land use classes; these land use classes occur at each of the thematic levels. Raster data in both ArcGIS Grid and ERDAS Imagine format is available for download at http://gis1.usgs.gov/csas/gap/viewer/land_cover/Map.aspx Six layer files are included in the download packages to assist the user in displaying the data at each of the Thematic levels in ArcGIS. In adition to the raster datasets the data is available in Web Mapping Services (WMS) format for each of the six NVC classification levels (Class, Subclass, Formation, Division, Macrogroup, Ecological System) at the following links. http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Class_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Subclass_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Formation_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Division_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Macrogroup_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_Ecological_Systems_Landuse/MapServer

This geographic information system (GIS) data layer shows the dominant lithology and geochemical, termed lithogeochemical, character of near-surface bedrock in the New England region covering the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The bedrock units in the map are generalized into groups based on their lithological composition and, for granites, geochemistry. Geologic provinces are defined as time-stratigraphic groups that share common features of age of formation, geologic setting, tectonic history, and lithology.

This data set incorporates data from digital maps of two NAWQA study areas, the New England Coastal Basin (NECB) and the Connecticut, Housatonic, and Thames River Basins (CONN) areas and extends data to cover the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The result is a regional dataset for the lithogeochemical characterization of New England (the layer named NE_LITH). Polygons in the final coverage are attributed according to state, drainage area, geologic province, general rock type, lithogeochemical characteristics, and specific bedrock map unit.
