Other Available Regional Data
Complete information about the data-processing procedures can be found in the metadata file that accompanies the downloaded data. This project was accomplished with the assistance of the State of Maine. Data for the Northeast states were produced by Sanborn. |
The Northeast region contains both economically and ecologically diverse shorelines, such as Long Island Sound, Boston Harbor, and the Gulf of Maine. The region also contains over half a million acres of U.S. National Forests land, which includes Mount Washington, the highest mountain in northeastern North America, standing at 6,288-feet in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. These landscapes support a variety of habitats and thousands of species of plants and animals. All these environments contribute to the regional economy through tourism activities such as boating, fishing, skiing, and sight-seeing.
