Mapbook Major Basin Index
vector digital data
http://www.ct.gov/deep
A 1:24,000-scale polygon feature-based layer of Major Drainage Basins. The major basin datalayer extends beyond the Connecticut boundary to include the headwaters of every major basin that flows into the state, except for the Connecticut River basin. These data are for making a Major Basin-based Mapbook Series. Mapbook is a developer's sample created by ESRI. It is an addition for ArcMap that allows the layout created in an ArcMap document to be used repeatedly to generate a series of similar maps. The extent of each map is controlled by the polygon features of the datalayer designated as an index. Attributes of the index are tagged to and used to change text on each map in the series.
These data are suitable for making a Mapbook Series using Major Basin as a spatial index. Not intended for use in a conventional GIS mapping or spatial analysis application.

These data are maintained by the State of Connecticut using ArcGIS software developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) in a Microsoft Windows operating system environment.
All attributes have valid values. Values are within defined domains. The Major basin number and Major basin name polygon attributes were manually entered based information depicted on a map of the state of Connecticut.
Polygon features conform to the following topological rules. Polygons are single part. There are no duplicate polygons. Polygons do not self overlap. Polygons do not overlap other polygons. No tests of logical consistency were performed by the State of Connecticut.
The completeness of the data is not known. This data is not updated.
The horizontal positional accuracy of this data is unknown.
