Abstract
This line data layer represents the shoreline of Lake Michigan in 2006. The dataset was originally published by the Great Lakes Information Network on December 12, 2006.[NOAA's Medium Resolution Digital Shoreline is a high-quality, general use digital vector dataset compiled from NOAA Nautical Charts, created by the Strategic Environmental Assessments Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources, Conservation and Assessment. Nominal mapping scale is 1:70,000.]
Purpose
This layer is intended 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. [The product is designed to meet the demanding needs of a broad target audience. Potential subscribers include government agencies, universities and other research institutions, the private sector, and students, as well as any other concern requiring a general purpose digital shoreline layer for GIS and cartographic projects.]
