This data set is a spatial representation of the jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey developed by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) in NJ State Plane Coordinate System (NAD83). It is not a survey document and must not be used as such. The polygon delineated in this data set does not represent the legal state boundary. This data set improves upon previous versions of the state boundary through the integration of coincident features from several high quality source data sets, as a component of the NJOGIS statewide Parcels Normalization Project concluded in March 2010.

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the State Plane Coordinate System. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

This Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant Web Map Service (WMS) includes a mosaic of historical USGS topographic maps of New Jersey surveyed from 1881 to 1924. This product is to be used for reference purposes only. The original historical paper maps were distorted or damaged to varying degrees due to age and use. During visual testing, it appeared that spatial inaccuracies in the images exceed 200 feet in several locations. The digital product has not been corrected for distortion nor vertical displacement. Consequently, this product does not meet the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA). The mosaic was produced by scanning 15 minute (1:62,500 scale) historical USGS topographic paper maps at 600 dpi and saving them as Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) images. The scanned TIFFs have an approximate pixel resolution of 17 feet. The map images were georeferenced to a fishnet in their native coordinate system and then reprojected to NAD83 NJ State Plane coordinates for use in this service. In most client software, the default spatial reference system of the service will be Geographic Coordinates, WGS84. Several other coordinate systems are supported natively by the WMS (see Supplemental Information).

Aerial imagery is an essential tool for planning and analysis. It presents a comprehensive view of regional conditions. Having access to aerial imagery from various years provides the user with a chronological record of land use patterns. Aerials have been an important component of DVRPC's planning efforts for many years. They are also a popular source of information for consultants, developers, engineers, realtors, and the general public.

Orthoimagery consists of rectified or geometrically corrected aerial images that have been processed so that any distortions stemming from topographic relief and camera position are removed. This results in an accurate representation of the Earth's surface. Due to its uniform scale, distances between features can be measured on an orthoimage. Where these features touch the ground, they are shown in their true x and y map position.

Available for the years 2000 through 2020 in five-year increments

• Covers the entire 3,833 square mile DVRPC 9-county region (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey)
• The 2000 orthoimagery is grayscale with a 1.5 sq. ft. pixel resolution, a horizontal positional accuracy of +/-5', and a design scale of 1" = 200'
• The 2005 and 2010 orthoimagery is 3-band, natural color, with a 1 sq. ft. pixel resolution, a horizontal positional accuracy of +/-5', and a design scale of 1" = 200'
• The 2015 orthoimagery is 4-band (allows for display in either natural color or color infrared) with a 1 sq. ft. pixel resolution, a horizontal positional accuracy of +/-5', and a design scale of 1" = 200'
• The 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015 orthoimagery tiles are referenced to their respective State Plane map coordinate system (either NJ State Plane NAD83 or PA State Plane South Zone NAD83)
• Each orthoimagery tile covers approximately 1.6 square miles of land area; Using Geographic Information System (GIS) software, individual tiles can be viewed together as a seamless mosaic of a larger area
• The 2020 orthoimagery is 3-band, natural color with a 1 sq. ft. pixel resolution, a horizontal positional accuracy of +/-5', and a design scale of 1" = 200'; Available as county mosaics in JPEG 2000 format referenced to UTM Zone 18N - NAD83 (2011)

This data set contains the Submerged Lands Act boundary line (also known as State Seaward Boundary (SSB) and Fed State Boundary) in ESRI Arc/Info export and Arc/View shape file formats for the MMS Atlantic Region. The SLA defines the seaward limit of a state's submerged lands and the landward boundary of federally managed OCS lands. In the MMS Atlantic Region it is projected 3 nautical miles offshore from the baseline. Further information on the SLA and development of this line from baseline points can be found in OCS Report MMS 99-0006: Boundary Development on the Outer Continental Shelf. Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, these GIS files are NOT an OFFICIAL record for the exact Submerged Lands Act Boundary. These data were downloaded from MMS by CZM on June 6, 2008 and then converted into the Mass State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone, meters.

This bathymetric shapefile contains 10 m contours for the continental shelf and 100 m beyond the 200 m shelf edge. The contours have been derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), Coastal Relief Models volume 1 and 2. Note: These data were reprojected from their native projection into North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) / Massachusetts State Plane coordinate system, Mainland Zone (Fipszone 2001) meters by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management on June 26, 2006.

Digital orthophotography of New Jersey, distributed as a Web Map Service (WMS). There are numerous layers in the service, one displaying the 2007 3 natural color bands, another displaying 2007 3 band false color infrared (near IR). The native data set spatial reference system is State Plane Coordinate System NAD83 Coordinates, U.S. Survey Feet. In most client software, the default spatial reference system of the service will be Geographic Coordinates, WGS84. Several other coordinate systems are supported (see Distribution Information section).Multi-spectral digital orthophotography was produced at a scale of 1:2400 (1" = 200') with a 1 foot pixel resolution for the State of New Jersey totaling approximately 8,162 square miles. The GeoTIFF tiles delivered to the State of New Jersey were then converted to lossless JPEG2000 files, which are used in this service.Aerial photography of the entire State of New Jersey was captured during March-May, 2007. Two flight dates (4-30-07 and 5-3-07 were rejected from the original 2007 flight due to excessive leaf conditions. Spring 2008 re-flights were planned and acquired in three missions dating: April 3rd, 10th, and 15th of 2008. The final orthophotos for parts of Warren, Hunterdon, Sussex, Passaic, Essex, Union, and all of Bergen and Hudson Counties were created utilizing both years of imagery.
