Abstract:
This data set is a spatial representation of municipalities in New Jersey developed by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) in NJ State Plane Coordinate System (NAD83). It is not a survey document and must not be used as such. The polygons delineated in this data set do not represent legal boundaries. This data set improves upon previous versions of municipal boundaries through the integration of coincident features from several high quality source data sets, as a component of the NJOGIS statewide Parcels Normalization Project concluded in March 2010. Updates continue to be made as necessary.
Purpose:
To provide basic jurisdictional information. This data set was developed to produce the most accurate delineation of municipal boundaries achievable from existing data sources.
Supplemental_Information:
Spatially referenced data were derived from the following GIS data sets to build municipal boundaries. They include: Delaware Geological Survey - New Jersey/Delaware boundary data New Jersey Department of Agriculture, State Agricultural Development Committee, Farmland Preservation Program - preserved farmland boundary data from property surveys New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Green Acres Program - open space boundary data from property surveys New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - New Jersey/New York boundary data for Ellis Island New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - hydro (stream) centerline data New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - land use/landcover data New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - municipal boundaries data from US Geological Survey topographic maps New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Geological Survey - New Jersey/New York boundary data for the northern border of New Jersey, and New Jersey/New York boundary data through Shooters Island off the shoreline of Bayonne New Jersey Department of Transportation - road centerline data NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) - New Jersey/Pennsylvania boundary data, and river and bay outlet data Various county or municipal agencies - State-certified digital tax map data and digital parcel data

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Values in the MUN_CODE field were populated based on the NJ1040 codes. The ACRES and SQ_MILES fields were recalculated based on SHAPE_AREA. In addition, POPDEN2010, POPDEN2000, POPDEN1990, and POPDEN1980 were recalculated based on the updated number of square miles in the SQ_MILES field. All municipal name changes are current to January 2013. Attributes for Geographical Naming Information System (GNIS) codes and names were thoroughly reviewed in collaboration with Bureau of Geographic Names - US Geological Survey and US Census Bureau representatives. No formal accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate attribute data. All other attribute information was carried over from the previous NJDEP municipality boundaries (stmun) layer.
QA/QC proceedures are run to find inaccuracies. Acres, square miles and pupoluation density fields are re-calculated prior to any publication to update these fields after any revisions.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygons were built from the NJOGIS Municipal Boundaries of New Jersey (nj_munis_arcs) line data set using the default cluster tolerance of 0.003 US survey feet. Municipalities with multiple disconnected areas were created as multi-part polygons. A spatial join was created with the centroids of the previous NJDEP municipality boundaries (stmun) layer as a quality control check. An examination of the attribute table ensured that each polygon contained a single centroid and any errors were resolved. A topology rule set was also built to ensure there were no gores (gaps) or overlaps between polygons.
Completeness_Report: All 565 New Jersey municipalities are included.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy used to generate municipal boundaries varies by source data used to create the NJOGIS Municipality Boundaries of New Jersey data set. No formal horizontal positional accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate these data. Data were visually inspected.
Boundary locations are reviewed against tax maps, parcels and base map data for accuracy.

Process_Description:
Data delineated to represent the centerline of the Delaware River were developed for the project. An inventory of Delaware River islands with state jurisdiction was developed from information in "The Story Of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries 1606 - 1968" by John F. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography, Trenton, New Jersey, 1969. Using this information, a delineation was generated to represent the centerline of the Delaware River from the New Jersey/New York border to the 12 mile circle at the New Jersey/Delaware border. The delineation of the centerline of the Delaware River was generated by manually digitizing the river's visible shorelines, interpreted from NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) 2002 orthophotography (+/-4 feet). A centerline was generated from the shorelines utilizing the DUAL COLLAPSE command in ArcGIS ArcInfo 9.2. Using the automated centerline as a guide, the final delineation was manually digitized to provide a smoother, more visually suitable centerline. The centerline of the Delaware River represents the boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These data were used to represent municipal boundaries coincident with the river centerline as shown on municipal tax maps.

Polygons were built from the NJOGIS Municipal Boundaries of New Jersey (nj_munis_arcs) line layer in ArcCatalog using the POLYGON FEATURE CLASS FROM LINES command with the default cluster tolerance of 0.003 US survey feet. Municipalities with multiple disconnected areas were created as multi-part polygons. A spatial join was created with the centroids of the NJDEP municipality boundaries (stmun) layer as a quality control check. An examination of the attribute table ensured that each polygon contained a single centroid and any errors were resolved. A topology rule set was also built to ensure there were no gores (gaps) or overlaps between polygons.

Attributes were added to the attribute table. Values in the MUN_CODE field were populated based on the NJ1040 codes. The ACRES and SQ_MILES fields were recalculated based on SHAPE_AREA. In addition, POPDEN2000, POPDEN1990, and POPDEN1980 were recalculated based on the updated number of square miles in the SQ_MILES field. All municipal name changes are current to January 2008. Attributes for Geographical Naming Information System (GNIS) codes and names were thoroughly reviewed in collaboration with GNIS-US Geological Survey and US Census Bureau representatives. No formal accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate attribute data. All other attribute information was carried over from the most current NJDEP municipality boundaries (stmun) layer and is assumed correct.

As a component of the New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) Parcels Normalization Project in 2008-2010, parcels boundaries were modified to match municipal, county and state boundaries data developed by NJOGIS in 2008 where those boundaries were coincident. During this process, modifications were made to the municipal, county and state boundaries data sets to improve spatial and temporal accuracy where research was necessary to resolve boundary conflicts, and in areas where higher quality data became available subsequent to the 2008 boundaries data release.

Process_Description:
Supported by tax map documentation, a modification was made to the municipal (and county) boundary along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond between Bernards Township in Somerset County and Harding Township in Morris County. The modification was made by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) in consultation with both municipalities and counties. It was reported by the US Census Bureau to NJOGIS in July 2010 that the delineation in the statewide municipal boundaries dataset was inconsistent with the municipal boundary submitted by Harding Township as part of the the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program. It was subsequently determined that the cause for the incorrect statewide municipal boundaries delineation was an incorrect delineation of a parcel (Harding Township, Block 48.01 Lot 8) in the statewide composite of parcels data (for which the parcels data were used as source data for the municipal boundaries). The west boundary of the parcel is a segment of the municipal boundary along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond. The change to Block 48.01 Lot 8 necessitated a modification to four contiguous parcels (Harding Township, Block 48.01, Lots 4, 5, 7 and Block 52, Lot 2) in Harding Township along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond. Since the west boundaries of Block 48.01, Lots 4, 5, 7 and Block 52, Lot 2 are also segments of the municipal boundary, the municipal boundary was modified to match the change to the parcels. Two Bernards Township parcels (Block 804, Lot 17 and Block 1701, Lot 1) in the statewide composite of parcels data were also modified to be consistent with the change to the municipal boundary and Harding Township parcels.

A modification was made to the Lacey Township/Ocean Township boundary at Oyster Creek where the creek channel was significantly altered to service the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant. The boundary, which was erroneously delineated as the centerline of the altered creek channel, was modified to a delineation of the creek centerline before it was altered to service the power plant, in the area within close proximity to the US Route 9 bridge over Oyster Creek. These changes were confirmed with tax maps from both municipalities.

Process_Description:
An update was made to the Woodbridge Township municipal boundary (which necessitated a change to the Middlesex County boundary). The municipal (and county) boundary along the Arthur Kill was represented to extend out to the middle of the river to coincide with the state boundary. However, the municipal (and county) boundary was changed to coincide with the shoreline, based on a preponderance of supporting information. The Woodbridge Township boundary is described as the shoreline in The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries 1606 - 1968. Tax maps indicate that riparian grants were conveyed to a Pierhead Line extending out to the middle of the Arthur Kill, which approximates the state boundary and is likely the source of any ambiguity regarding the municipal (and county) boundary. In addition, boundaries for all other municipalities in New Jersey along the Arthur Kill coincide with the shoreline.

Process_Description:
The following changes were made to municipal boundaries in Cumberland County: Improvements to parcel boundaries along the Lawrence Township/Fairfield Township border in Cumberland County necessitated changes to the municipal boundary. The first change was made to the boundary north of County Route 692 to the municipal boundary with Millville. The second change was made south of County Route 692 to County Route 553. Modifications were made to the Stow Creek Township/Greenwich Township boundary in Cumberland County. The first change was necessitated by improvements to parcel boundaries at, and just east of, County Route 602. The second change was made to correct the boundary along Racoon Ditch (formerly Newport Creek) where the stream was impounded to form a lake just east of its confluence with Stow Creek. The correction utilizes a DEP hydro centerline, between the southern boundary of the lake and an island towards the western end of the lake, which approximates the old stream centerline delineated on municipal tax maps. It replaces the current DEP hydro centerline through the middle of the lake. A correction was made to the Commercial Township/Maurice River Township boundary in Cumberland County at the outlet of the Maurice River into Delaware Bay. The change was made to account for parcels that represent properties on small islands in the middle of the river in Maurice River Township. An improvement was made to the municipal/county boundary between Pittsgrove Township in Salem County and Vineland in Cumberland County. Segments sourced from parcel boundaries were replaced by an NJDEP hydro centerline segment and a 2007 NJOIT orthophoto delineated segment of a photo-identifiable water feature. The affected municipal/county boundary segments are coincident with the eastern boundaries of block 2502, lots 5.01, 7.01 and 17 in Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, and the western boundaries of block 2601, lots 14-18, and block 2608, lot 1 in Vineland, Cumberland County.

Adjustments were made to the municipal boundaries for Asbury Park, Bardley Beach Boru=ough, Neptune Township, Avon-by-the-Sea Borough, Neptune City, Wall Township, and Tinton Falls Borough based municipal parcels, based on digital tax maps for Asbury Park, Bradley Beach Borough, and Neptune Township. There was a discrepancy (overlaping parcels) between Bradley Beach Brough and Neptune Township in the NW corner of Bradley Beach Borough, along the railroad. Based on the 2015 orthophotography, it appeared that the parcels for Bradley Beach Borough lined up with the railroad right-of-way, so the western line of the Bradley beach Borough parcels was used to update the municipal boundary. There was a discrepancy (overlapping parcels) between the Asbury Park and Neptune Township in the NE corner of Neptune Township. Based on the 2015 orthophotography, it appeared that the parcels for Asbury Park lined up with physical features better than the Neptune Township parcels, so the southern line of the Asbury Park parcels was used to update the municipal boundary.

Process_Description:
The New Jersey Office of GIS (NJOGIS) worked in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to create a coincident boundary between NJ/PA in the Delaware River. After examining both boundaries, both parties agreed to a process of generating a new boundary line. Using the most recent NJ Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Delaware River Shorelines feature class, cross-section lines, and the island inventory from the 18th century bi-state commission's annexation reports, NJOGIS generated a new boundary between NJ/PA. This new line was reviewed PennDOT, and any disagreements were approved by both states. County boundaries were adjusted to conform to state boundary.
