Michigan Tech Trails Spatial Data


All files listed below are in Arc/Info interchange format (.e00) and have been compressed using gnu zip (gzip).

To download, right-click on each file and choose "Save As..." (Netscape) or "Download to Disk..." (IE)

You will need a decompression utility (gzip, PowerArchiver or WinZip) and Arc/Info or ArcView's Import71 utility to utilize these files:

Building footprints (15kb)
Property boundary (approximate)
(2kb)
Road outlines
(100kb)
Topography (2-foot contours)
(2Mb)
Trails
(220kb)
Water features
(44kb)
Land use/land cover
(20kb)

There is no formal metadata included with the coverages. All are in the UTM coordinate system, zone 16, North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 1927). Map units are meters, and the contour units on the topography coverage are in feet with elevations measured above sea level.

All coverages were derived from engineering drawings obtained from Michigan Tech Facilities except the land use/land cover file, which was interpreted from 1986 black-and-white aerial photography.

Please direct any questions about these data to Mike Hyslop.
