OVERVIEW

The Scenic Landscapes datalayer depicts areas identified as part of the Massachusetts Landscape Inventory Project, Department of Conservation and Recreation (then DEM), 1981.  The data is general in nature and is intended for general planning purposes only.  DCR's office of Historic Resources is currently launching a project to inventory significant cultural, historic, and scenic landscapes.  This effort may update or even replace this data layer. In ArcSDE the layer is named SCNEINV_POLY.
PRODUCTION
This datalayer was digitized by staff at The Trustees Of Reservations. The information was digitized from a map contained within the Landscape Inventory Project report. MassGIS processed the coverage for linework generalization and smoothing.
ATTRIBUTES
The attribute SCENIC is coded "Y" for all polygons designated as scenic. Six polygons coded "N" are non-scenic areas surrounded by scenc landscapes.
MAINTENANCE
DCR maintains this datalayer. For more information, contact Patrice Kish, Director of the Office of Historic Resources (617) 626-1378.
