Harbor Coastline of Monterey Bay, Monterey Harbor, Moss Landing Harbor, Santa Cruz, Small Craft Harbor, 1992
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This line shapefile represents harbor coastline data extracted from NOAA Raster Navigational Chart #18685: "United States--West Coast, California, Monterey Bay (1992)." Originally produced by the United States Defense Mapping Agency, this map contains coverage for Monterey Harbor, Small Craft Harbor, Santa Cruz, Moss Landing, and Monterey Bay, Shapefiles for this layer are available in WGS84 and UTM Zone 10 (NAD83) projections and in Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) format. This layer is part of the GIS Data of the Monterey Bay collection, a compilation of data and imagery of the Monterey Bay area, including coastline, imagery, and bathymetry.
- Purpose
- This dataset is intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. This collection of data provides documented layers of of the Monterey Bay to persons/institutions of interest throughout the research and educational communities.

Bibliographic information
| Supplemental information |
All data are registered to the WGS84 datum with two versions of each feature, image, and grid coverage included in the collection. One is in a Geographic (decimal degrees) coordinate system and the second is in a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 10 projection. A GMT version of this layer is also available. For strict accuracy and hard-copy production requiring feature, grid, and/or image data, the UTM projection coverages should be used. In fact, some ArcView functions will not be available unless the data are displayed in a projection. This is because a Geographic Coordinate System is NOT a projection but rather a spherical coordinate system dealing directly in latitude and longitude. However, at the scale of maps covering Monterey Bay, the errors produced by ignoring this fact are small. |
