Resource Abstract:
- description: Historical shoreline surveys were conducted by the National Ocean Service (NOS), dating back to the early 1800s.
The maps resulting from these surveys, often called t-sheets, provide a reference of historical shoreline position that can
be compared to modern data to identify shoreline change. The t-sheets are stored at the National Archives and many have been
scanned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and are available on the NOAA Shoreline Web site (http://www.shoreline.noaa.gov/data/datasheets/t-sheets.html).
While some scanned t-sheets were georeferenced and digitized by NOAA, still others remain as non-georeferenced raster files
(http://nosimagery.noaa.gov/images/shoreline_surveys/survey_scans/NOAA_Shoreline_Survey_Scans.html). New_Jersey_1839_75_Digitized_Shoreline.zip
features a digitized historic shoreline for the New Jersey coastline from 1839 to 1875. The data were scanned by NOAA, but
were not georeferenced. The t-sheets included in this data release are: T-121 (1839), T-119 Part 1 (1841), T-1084 (1868),
T-1166 (1870), T-1333 (1871), T-1315a (1872), T-1371 (1874), T-1407 (1875). Digital files were georeferenced, corrected to
a modern datum, and shorelines digitized to provide a vector polyline depicting the historical shoreline position. All shorelines,
including the foreshore, backshore, mainland and island shorelines were delineated and digitized for each survey using ArcMap
10.3.1. These shorelines were digitized for use in long-term shoreline and wetland analyses for Hurricane Sandy wetland physical
change assessment.; abstract: Historical shoreline surveys were conducted by the National Ocean Service (NOS), dating back
