{ "culture": "en-US", "name": "", "guid": "", "catalogPath": "", "snippet": "", "description": "MassGIS has produced a statewide surficial geology datalayer showing the location of sand and gravel deposits. Originally the data were divided into three panels- west, east, and southeast that correspond to the U.S. Geological Survey 1:250,000 map sheets that were used as a basemap. This datalayer is very generalized when compared to the other MassGIS data. MassGIS uses the surficial geology data only to produce volume or area measurements over a large region, e.g. a drainage basin. It is not accurate for site specific analysis.As part of a major data development effort, the datalayer has been greatly enhanced. The data include areas of fine-grained deposits and floodplains. For the original southeast panel, the 1:250,000 Providence, RI sheet, large sand deposits have also been delineated. Additionally, contour lines indicating depth of sand and gravel deposits have also been added.The layer is named SURFGEO250K_POLY.", "summary": "", "title": "Surficial Geology", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "U.S. Geological Survey", "licenseInfo": "", "portalUrl": "" }
