Stone Walls (statewide)

Overview This feature service provides a detailed statewide depiction of stone walls across Rhode Island, representing an important element of the region's historical landscape. These stone wall features have been delineated using LiDAR data from the 2022 Rhode Island Statewide Lidar Data Project as part of the Rhode Island Stone Wall Mapping Project (RISWMP). This hosted feature layer has been published in RI State Plane Feet NAD 83. Feature Layer Stone Walls: This layer contains polyline features representing the extant stone walls throughout Rhode Island. The walls were delineated to explore and document historical land use patterns and landscape features significant to the cultural and archeological heritage of the state. Geographic Coverage The data covers the entire state of Rhode Island, capturing stone wall networks detected within this New England region. Purpose and Use Cases Supports historical and archeological research linked to land use and territorial boundaries. Assists planning and conservation efforts by illustrating historical features relevant to society and land development. Provides valuable data for cultural heritage mapping and educational projects focusing on regional history and landscape evolution. Data Provenance and Licensing The dataset is derived from a statewide Lidar project and produced by the Rhode Island Geographic Information System (RIGIS) consortium along with the University of Rhode Island. Users should note the dataset is offered 'as is' with no warranties and requires proper attribution to RIGIS and the primary data producers in any derivative works.概述 本托管要素服务提供罗德岛州全境石墙的详细测绘成果，系该区域历史景观的重要组成元素。本次石墙要素通过2022年罗德岛州全境激光雷达（LiDAR）数据项目的激光雷达数据进行勾绘，隶属于罗德岛石墙测绘项目（Rhode Island Stone Wall Mapping Project, RISWMP）。本托管要素图层采用罗德岛州平面英尺坐标系NAD 83发布。 石墙要素图层：本图层包含多段线要素，用以表征罗德岛州全境现存石墙。本次石墙勾绘工作旨在探索并记录与该州文化及考古遗产密切相关的历史土地利用模式与景观特征。 地理覆盖范围 本数据集覆盖罗德岛州全域，捕获了这一新英格兰区域内探测到的石墙网络。 用途与应用场景 本数据集可支撑与土地利用及领土边界相关的历史与考古研究；通过展示与社会及土地开发相关的历史特征，辅助规划与保护工作；同时可为聚焦区域历史与景观演变的文化遗产测绘及教育项目提供宝贵数据。 数据来源与许可 本数据集源自全州范围的激光雷达项目，由罗德岛地理信息系统（Rhode Island Geographic Information System, RIGIS）联盟与罗德岛大学联合制作。用户须知本数据集按“现状”提供，不附带任何担保，且在任何衍生作品中均需正确标注RIGIS及原始数据生产者的署名。
