Description:

Abstract:: Generalized County-wide steep slope coverage. Data identifies slopes 15-25%and also slopes over 25% (slope=rise/run). Only steep sloped areas greater than or equal to 10 acres and a height differential of 100' or more are inventoried, and should be considered generalized.
Purpose:: This coverage was compiled at a scale of 1:24,000. The coverage is intended for general planning purposes only, and may not be appropriate for site specific analysis.
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. This coverage can be accessed electronically by clicking on the above link, or by visit the Westchester County GIS web site to download this coverage along with additional Westchester County data layers. <http://giswww.westchestergov.com>
