Abstract:
This data is a graphical representation of the historic shorelines for the four Atlantic Ocean counties (Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and Monmouth). It details the 11 different Atlantic Ocean shorelines in New Jersey from the years of 1836-1977. The shorelines are from 1836-42, 1855, 1866-68, 1871-75, 1879-85, 1899, 1932-36, 1943, 1951-53, 1971, and 1977. Not all years are complete or run the entire length of the four Atlantic counties. The coast coverage can be used as a 1986 shoreline.
Purpose: To provide a graphical representation of the historic shorelines for the four Atlantic Ocean counties (Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and Monmouth).

Process Step:
Process Description:
Two generic sources were used, aerial photography and historic T & H sheets. Historic aerial photography was scanned into the computer and registered. The shoreline was extracted from this scan. Historic map sheets were hand digitized and transformed to SPC NAD27. These lines were then embedded in the PMAP software. This process step was created by Robert Leatherman, Maryland Coastal Resources, Salisbury, Md.
Process Date: 1988
Process Step:
Process Description:
In 1990/1991, data was projected to NJ State Plane Feet, NAD83. Coordinates were extracted from the PMAP software by a program written by Stu Farrel, Stockton State College. DEP project managed by Mark Mauriello, Coastal Resources. NJDEP then created coverages
