Description:
Abstract:
This New Hampshire state boundary coverage was developed from the New Hampshire political boundaries coverage at Complex Systems Research Center, University of New Hampshire. It was derived from the 1:24000 USGS Digital Line Graphs (DLGs).
Purpose:
To provide the public with spatial data from the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest for use in research and educational activities.

The DLG files provided the basic coordinate information for the data layer, as well as the fundamental feature codes.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The DLG-3 files for the 213 7.5-minute quadrangles in the state were converted to Arc/Info coverages using "DLGARC". Line topology was constructed, and attributes were appended using standard Arc/Info utilities. Each tile was then projected from UTM meters (Zone 18 or 19), NAD27, to NH State Plane feet, NAD83. The individual tiles were then edgematched, allowing for movement of arcs at the quadrangle seams of up to 10 ft. to create the statewide layer.
