Abstract:
This data depicts the statewide grid of 1991 quarterquad boundaries. This data was generated in decimal degrees, NAD83, using the ARC/INFO GENERATE command with the FISHNET option. This grid was then projected to NJ State Plane Feet, NAD 83. The attributes and tic ids were updated as necessary.
Purpose: Thisdata was produced to provide a graphic representation of information that depicts the statewide grid of 1991 quarterquad boundaries.
