County Boundary as Polygons which were unioned with a generalized version of the USGS 1:100,000 hydrography for the sounds and the outer bands. Refer to the 'County Boundary as Lines' to find out the source of the lines using the field attribute for 'DESC'. Most of the lines currently are from the DOT county maps which originally come from USGS but might have been updated by the county parcel maps.

This story map serves as an educational tool for learning about North Carolina's Pasquotank River Basin. Information is taken from the Pasquotank River Basin brochure, published by the NC Office of Environmental Education. These print brochures are available at no cost through the office's website at http://www.eenorthcarolina.org/riverbasins.htmlFor technical information about North Carolina's river basins, contact NC DEQ's Basin Planning Branch at https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/planning/basin-planning

These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of Dismal Swamp Canal to Pasquotank River, VA and NC suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field survey. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
