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_t-sheets.zip
features 8 georeferenced raster t-sheets 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 using ArcGIS
10.3.1. GEoreferenced t-sheets were used to delineate and shorelines 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
