This file is a subset of the original data extracted from 1:24,000-scale maps by the California State Lands Commission. This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program "Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Project" . The data were collected and analyzed between 1994 and 2000. Purpose: These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information about the shallower areas of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

The values for PTYPE are 'sea' or 'land'. There are polygons interior to 'land' (e.g., lakes) that are not separately identified. The arcs in the coverage CACOAST are identified in the attribute LTYPE. The values for LTYPE are 'coastline' or 'scratch'.

Consequently, the shoreline of the quad with the > later date, the Mare Island quad, was held and the shoreline of the Cuttings > Wharf quad was manually adjusted to fit. > > Not all of the quadrangles were current, since we could not afford new mylar > sets. You will find some differences between our shoreline and the most > recent USGS quadrangles. This shoreline will be updated on an ongoing basis. > > The marine terminal facility known as Pacific Wharf situated on the east side > of San Pablo Bay alongside the main channel of the bay and west of the Unocal's > Wharf at Oleum (Mare Island Quad), was positioned from registered and rectified > air photos. The method used to position the facility was as follows: > > 1. The scanned air photo was registered with the coastline coverage then rectified; > > 2. The facility was then digitized in arcedit with a mouse from the registered > and rectified scanned air photo. > > DATA CONTACT: > > Contact Name: Ted Fukushima > Contact Agency: State Lands Commission > Contact's Phone: 916-322-7813 > > --NOTICE-- > > This map and/or data has been prepared for reconnaissance and general > information purposes only. > > The map and/or data has not been approved by the State Lands > Commission and does not constitute an official map or dataset of the > Commission, nor does it establish the boundary lines of any State > owned lands depicted on the map or described in the data.
