Maine County Boundary Polygons contains county boundary polygons for all sixteen counties in Maine, mapped at the 1:24,000 scale. The data layer has polygon topology and was originally created in ArcInfo using METWP24P with a selection on arcs coded "TYPE=state,county, and coastline".
METWP24P depicts political boundaries for all Organized Towns and Unorganized Territories in Maine at 1:24,000 scale. The layer also includes common town names and authoritative geocodes. The layer was created using the USGS 7.5-minute map series and the Maine GIS base layer COAST, which contains Maine's coastal Mean High Water (MHW) mark and Maine islands. To correct mapping errors and reflect changes to Minor Civil Division (MCD) boundaries, arcs and polygons were added or updated using the following data sources: photorevised USGS data; Maine GIS base layer coincident features; legal descriptions; GPS data; and Maine Department of Transportation (MEDOT) engineering plans. METWP24P also contains USGS 1:100,000-scale data and U.S. Department of Commerce Census Bureau TIGER Line Files from 1990 and 2000 where these provide a more correct or best available representation of a feature in question.
