Use the DataMap Tool to access the following datasets:
   
 
Aerial Orthophotographs, 2005, State
Data source:
MassGIS
These medium resolution true color images are considered the new "basemap" for the Commonwealth by MassGIS and the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA). The photography for the entire commonwealth was captured in April 2005 when deciduous trees were mostly bare and the ground was generally free of snow. This digital orthoimagery can serve a variety of purposes, from general planning, to field reference for spatial analysis, to a tool for development and revision of vector maps. It can also serve as a reference layer or basemap for myriad applications inside geographic information system (GIS) software.
   
 
USGS Topographic Quadrangles, 1995, State
Data source:
MassGIS
MassGIS scanned the USGS 7.5 minute series topographic quadrangles to create a digital database that can provide images of the paper maps. These images can be used as a backdrop for plotting vector data and for interpretation and analysis. Most paper maps are at 1:25,000 scale; some older quads were produced at 1:24,000 scale.
