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. This helps ensure the map does not become cluttered when viewed at the full map extent. As you zoom in, these references features will appear. They provide important contextual information, such as the locations of marked intersections with labels for intersection number, locations of road and trails, hydrography, such as streams with names labeled, wetlands and lakes/ponds with names labeled.Together, this information provides a comprehensive map detailing where deer have been harvested within the Quabbin Reservoir Watershed. This map is designed for deer hunters and may help them plan where to hunt in the watershed. 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 best used through the DCR-DWSP Hunting Map's Harvest Map page.

The CT Municipalities layer consists of individual polygons representing each of the 169 municipalities that make up the state of Connecticut. This feature class is based on the Towns layer originally created by CTDEEP from USGS maps. The towns from the CTDEEP data were dissolved to create 169 records (one for each town). Fields were added and deleted to create a generic schema.

The CT Municipalities feature class was created in (municipality) alphabetical order. Fields were added to identify the municipality number and the CTDOT Municipality number, which differ from each other in some cases. In 1947 the town of Saybrook officially changed its name to Deep River. Other State agencies and municipalities changed their numbering systems to reflect this name change, however, most of what is now CTDOT kept their existing numbering system. This is why the CTDOT town number for Deep River is 122, the number formerly assigned to Saybrook.

The square miles associated with each town are for their interior land mass area. Coastal communities have boundaries that extend into Long Island Sound. These town boundary extensions into Long Island Sound are not included in the square miles field.

CTDOT has created and will maintain a cartographic rendering of the geometric shape of Municipal boundaries. Official Town and City designations as incorporated areas consisting of an authorized governing body are managed by CT's Office of Policy and Management (OPM).

CTDOT has undertaken a good faith effort to represent the boundaries cartographically in a fair and equitable fashion, from the best available data compiled from existing state, regional, and local resources including - existing historical cartographic renderings of the boundary locations, supplemental survey information, and map submissions. Corrections can be submitted to the CTDOT for incorporation and correction where applicable.

Attribution was assigned to designations managed by a variety of entities that strictly follow Municipal boundaries and additional designations will be added as requested by State, regional, and local partners.

Use the search bar to enter an address and see if that location is within the VTA's ADA Service Area.NOTE: For many addresses on Martha's Vineyard, the town which pops up with the address is often incorrect. This is due to how the massive address geo-locator database assigns town name. However, regardless of the incorrect town name label, the point located on the map is correct.For example, the correct address of 33 New York Ave, Oak Bluffs MA will appear in the search bar as 33 New York Ave, Vineyard Haven, MA, 02568, USA -- but the map will zoom to the correct location in Oak Bluffs.

This dataset includes street centerlines in the City of Worcester, MA. The separate Street Name Table can be joined to this dataset to add the associated street names to the respective street centerlines.The fields "Official" and "Admin" enable users to select or draw centerlines for various purposes. For example, DPW&P maintains the Official Street Map and will use the "Official = yes" to model this. Major Roads are categorized as public streets on the official map (Official = 0 Admin = 0) or interstates, which are not on the official map and administered by other jurisdictions (Official = 1 Admin = 4). Informing Worcester is the City of Worcester's open data portal where interested parties can obtain public information at no cost.
