Transportation GIS Layers for the Eastern Shore of Virginia 2013

This datasets contain GIS shapefiles related to the transportation infrastructure of Accomack and Northampton Counties on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Included here are roads and highways, railroads, airfields and airstrips, boat ramps, and electrical transmission lines. Data was compiled from multiple sources. The primary purpose of this dataset is to provide VCRLTER researchers and students with a convenient up-to-date set of GIS data layers in one location that can be used as base layers for various map products and for planning research activities. A secondary purpose of this dataset is to extend transportation data coverage in the VCRLTER data catalog to include Accomack County and to supersede older USGS DLG data contained in the Northampton County GIS data package (VCRLTER dataset VCR14219).
