Summary
Abstract: For the coastal regions of Maryland, the Maryland Geological Survey (MGS) has
periodically compiled maps depicting shoreline position at several points in
time. The most recent compilation -- the first electronic one -- involved (1)
digitizing historical (1841-1977) shoreline maps, all derived directly or

Access Constraints None
Use Constraints The DOQQs from which the shorelines were interpreted meet National Map Accuracy
Standards at the production scale of 1:12,000 using the American Society for
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) method. Consider the scale in
displaying and using the vectors. Displaying the vectors at scales larger than
those of the source documents is considered bad practice.
