Description:
Abstract:
File provides locational data on cemeteries throughout Westchester County as inventoried and mapping as part of the countywide land use inventory coverage (WCLUI). This coverage is a derivative POINT coverage based on cemetery polygons in the WCLUI96 coverage. X,Y coordinates are essentially polygon centroids from WCLUI polygons coded as CEM. Cemetary locations were spatially edited (moved) to be consistent with 2000 aerial photography.
Supplemental_Information:
This coverage is in ARC/INFO export format. Coordinate System - New York State Plane, FIPS zone: 3101 (Formerly East Zone 4801), Units: Feet, North American Datum 1983. Further information on this an other county GIS data layers can be obtained by visiting the Westchester County GIS web site at <http://giswww.westchestergov.com>. WCLUI polygons developed at a scale of 1:24,000 based on interpretation of several source documents including local master plans, zoning ordinances, street maps, and traditional aerial photography. Continued use of coverage suggests data is spatially consistent with other datasets compiled at 1:2000 or better.
