NHESP Regulatory Layers
To Download: Hold down the Shift key and left-click on each link to save locally.
Once Downloaded: Each Shapefile .exe file
contains
all the necessary components for the shapefile format (.dbf, .shx, .shp
files, etc.) for each polygon or point feature class, plus
FGDC-compliant metadata in xml format and an ArcGIS 9.0/9.1 layer file.
Once downloaded, extract the files
by double-clicking on the .exe file name in Windows Explorer or by
entering
the name at the DOS Command Prompt and hitting return. The StuffIt
software (for Windows or Macintosh) or the Unix and Linux command
"unzip" can also be used to extract the data from the .exe files.
