  Description:
    Abstract:
      The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts.  The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998.  The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick. 
       
      The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public.
    Purpose: This image shows shaded-relief topography of eastern Massachusetts for use on USGS Map I-2734. It has been tinted with a brown transparency.

        The USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) has been developed by
        merging the highest-resolution, best-quality elevation data available
        across the United States into a seamless raster format. NED is the result
        of the maturation of the USGS effort to provide 1:24,000-scale Digital
        Elevation Model (DEM) data with NAD83 datum for the conterminous
        US and Hawaii, and 1:63,360-scale DEM data with NAD27 datum for Alaska.
