    • Shoreline Data Rescue Project of Potomac River, Washington, D.C., DC38A

    Metadata Updated: March 15, 2024

    These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of Potomac River, Washington, D.C. suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field survey. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
