Overview

At the highest level DCR properties are organized into two management 'Divisions': Mass Parks and the Division of Water Supply Protection (DWSP). Mass Parks properties are organized into Regions. Each region is divided into Districts, which in turn are divided into Complexes. This layer delineates these breakdowns.

The two feature classes - polygon and arc - are stored in ArcSDE as REGDCR_POLY and REGDCR_ARC.

Production

This layer was created by DCR and then was processed and stored by MassGIS.
