Good Morning All,

Three of the States finest GIS professionals were recognized in the May issue of the  USGS National Hydrography Dataset Newsletter. (http://nhd.usgs.gov/newsletters/News_15_7a_May.pdf#page=1 )

 

Vicki Schmidt, Maine DEP, Becky Schaffner, Maine DEP and Anji Auger, MEGIS were recognized for their work in Delineation of Maine Coastal Waters in the National Hydrography Dataset.

 

“The NHD along the Maine coast now depicts a more meaningful division between

environmentally defined coded features. This project is subject to updates, corrections, and

revision. It is expected to encourage further discussion and refinement as it is used which in

order to provide a more accurate dataset.”

 

An ArcGIS Online map was created to represent this project.
