OVERVIEW

This layer represents the district boundaries of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. These districts are used by DFW and its parent agency, the Department of Fish and Game, for administrative purposes.

Two layers - polygon and arc feature classes - are stored in ArcSDE as DFWDISTRICTS_POLY and DFWDISTRICTS_ARC.
PRODUCTION
The layer was developed by the Department of Fish and Game GIS Program by dissolving (combining) poygons from MassGIS' 1:25,000 Towns layer. The arc layer was generated by MassGIS using ESRI'S ArcGIS 9.0 software.
