The MassGIS zoning datalayer represents the boundaries of municipal zoning districts. Because zoning is established at the town level, there is no standard district classification across the state. While districts in different towns may have similar or even identical names, their definitions are often quite different. Generalized codes have been added to make these data useful for regional display. A related table contains detailed information about the districts such as setbacks or text descriptions from each town’s zoning bylaws. Data are available for all communities. (Only primary district information is available for the City of Boston, not additional infomation for its bylaws.) MassGIS stores the data in a statewide ArcSDE layer named ZONING_POLY. Zoning district boundaries change frequently and MassGIS currently has no formal process in place to regularly update these coverages. These data should therefore be used for regional analysis only and not as official zoning maps. The town’s own official zoning map and current copy of the by-law should be considered as the final word on zoning boundary questions or issues. In August, 2007, data were updated for these 93 towns: Adams, Agawam, Amherst, Aquinnah, Ashburnham, Ashby, Athol, Ayer, Belchertown, Billerica, Bourne, Brewster, Chatham, Chelmsford, Cheshire, Chester, Chesterfield, Chicopee, Chilmark, Clarksburg, Clinton, Cummington, Dalton, Dennis, East Longmeadow, Edgartown, Egremont, Falmouth, Fitchburg, Gardner, Georgetown, Gosnold, Granby, Great Barrington, Groton, Hadley, Hampden, Harvard, Hatfield, Hubbardston, Huntington, Lancaster, Lanesborough, Lawrence, Lee, Lenox, Leominster, Lowell, Ludlow, Lunenburg, Mashpee, Monson, Monterey, New Ashford, North Adams, Northampton, Oak Bluffs, Otis, Palmer, Petersham, Phillipston, Pittsfield, Richmond, Rowley, Royalston, Russell, Salisbury, Sandisfield, Sheffield, Shirley, South Hadley, Southampton, Southwick, Sterling, Stockbridge, Templeton, Tisbury, Townsend, Truro, Ware, Washington, Wellfleet, West Springfield, West Stockbridge, West Tisbury, Westfield, Westminster, Wilbraham, Williamsburg, Williamstown, Winchendon, Worthington, and Yarmouth.

The purpose of this Groundwater Protection District is to: a. promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community by ensuring an adequate quality and quantity of drinking water for the residents, institutions, and businesses of the Town of Mashpee. b. preserve and protect existing and potential sources of drinking water supplies; c. conserve the natural resources of the (town)(city); and prevent temporary and permanent contamination of the environment.

PAL has completed an archaeological reconnaissance survey of the Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts. The project was funded by and coordinated through a grant awarded to the Mashpee Historical Commission (Mashpee HC) from the Town of Mashpee through the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) through an allocation under the Community Preservation Act. The main goals of the survey were to identify known and potential pre-contact and post-contact archaeological sites in Mashpee; develop town-wide archaeological sensitivity maps and an accompanying guide to understanding and using these maps; develop management recommendations for the protection of cultural resources and sensitive areas; and present the information in a format that would be useful to state and local planning and review agencies. The reconnaissance survey included archival research, informant interviews, and field survey that allowed for the collection of information about known and potential archaeological resource areas. This information was then used to compile environmental and cultural contexts for Mashpee, and to develop predictive models for undocumented archaeological sites. The predictive model developed for the survey indicates that Mashpee contains a wide diversity of natural resources including extensive wetland networks, limited modern period development, and a documented human presence spanning at least 8,000 years. These conditions, taken together, give undeveloped sections of the town a generally high archaeological sensitivity. Pre-contact archaeological sensitivity is highest along the major wetland margins, including those associated with Popponesset Bay, the majority of the town’s kettle ponds and in proximity to smaller streams, swamps, and ponds. Post-contact sensitivity is highest in the areas of documented Native American homesteads, institutional and civic meeting areas, and along established transportation corridors where activities have been documented from the mid-seventeenth century to the present. Management recommendations developed for the survey focus on a coordinated development review through local and regional planning agencies. Partnerships with preservation and conservation advocates, Native American groups, land owners, and the general public are suggested as ways in which Mashpee can continue to document, protect, and preserve important cultural resources.

This dataset is a ploygon representation of the parcels for the Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts. Edits to a base parcel file were made to the spatial and tabular data in order to bring the file in compliance with November 2010 MassGIS Level III Standards for Digital Parcel Files. These edits included ensuring that the parcel fabric was continuous and closed with no gaps or overlaps. Additionally, parcels were snapped to the legislatively approved MassGIS TOWNSSURVEY_ARC town boundary datalayer and compared against the 2008 30 cm MassGIS Ortho Imagery. Polygons were assigned a LOC-ID that links to the M172Assessor table and other fields were populated where they were known and applicable. Annual parcel updates completed June 2021.
