Transportation Network of Mount Desert Island and Lands of MDI Towns

Entry ID: coa_rdnet

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Transportation network of Mount Desert Island and lands of MDI
towns. Created from USGS 24k DLG data and appended for MDI. Arc data
has descriptive text of road classes.

Data set was created to define the transportation network of Mount
Desert Island and to serve as a digital "base map" layer. Some local
tax maps show road data, but this seems to be the most widely accepted

Quality The data was collected at a time when the New Zealand Division of Science and Industrial Research organisation was restructuring into separate institutes. The timing of this restructuring impacted on the data analysis process and the data was never analysed completely.

For the data collection, a unique data acquisition system was built. The formats of the captured data are now redundant with modern computer systems. The investigator maintains all of the original data (on tapes) and the computer system used. The key data/programming individual has moved on and it would most likely require a lot of effort to extract any useable data for analysis. Please contact the investigator for more information.
