Wetlands - Dukes County

MassDEP wetlands (published 2017) based on year 2005 Color Infrared Photos (1:5,000) and year 1993 CIR photos (1:12,000). The former have not been field verified. These data are for planning purposes only. Per the MassGIS website: "The wetlands boundaries shown on this map have been determined by photographic interpretation. They do not represent, and should not be used as, wetlands delineations under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. c. 131 §40) and its regulations. Wetlands boundary determination for other purposes, such as the Wetlands Protection Act MA Act M.G.L. c. 131 or local bylaws must use the relevant procedures and criteria." The attribute table contains a simplified wetland code adapted from 1:25,000 hydrography and a detailed (28 category) wetland code based on the Wetland Conservancy Program. See the MassGIS website for full metadata details.
