Abstract: | |
Precise surveys of the Nation's coastal regions and navigable shoreline water areas is the primary responsibility of the National Geodetic Survey's Photogrammetry Division. The surveys provide shoreline data for Nautical Chart production, and accurate geographical references needed for managing coastal resources.
The primary product of the surveys is the Coastal Survey Map. These range in scale from 1:5,000 to 1:40,000 and accurately depict the shoreline, and shoreline features, such as rocks and tidal flats. There are about 2,000 current Coastal Survey Maps covering the shoreline of the United States and its territories.
The National Ocean Service's (NOS) MapFinder Web service provides direct Internet access to NOS imagery and data holdings for coastal photography, nautical charts, historical maps, coastal survey maps, environmental sensitivity index maps, hydrographic survey outlines, water level stations, estuarine bathymetry, and geodetic control points.
Maps can be located through the NOS Map Finder at the above Web site.
