Description: The Coastal Area layer is 1:24,000-scale data. It depicts the location of the Connecticut Coastal Area as defined by Connecticut General Statute C.G.S. 22a-94(a). Use this layer to show the Coastal Area. Use this layer with other 1:24,000-scale map data such as the Coastal Boundary, Town Boundaries, Roads and Trails, Airports, Railroads and other base map data derived from the USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps and compiled at a 1:24000 scale. Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet.)
Description: The Coastal Boundary layer is 1:24,000-scale data. It shows the extent of lands and coastal waters as defined by C.G.S. 22a-93(5) within Connecticut's coastal area (defined by C.G.S. 22a-94(c)). Use this layer to show the Coastal Boundary on maps with other 1:24,000-scale data such as Coastal Area, Town Boundaries, Roads and Trails, Airports, Railroads and other base map data derived from the USGS 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Maps and compiled at a 1:24,000 scale. Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet.)
