Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
- description: This data set contains Supplemental Official OCS Block Diagram (SOBD) images in Adobe pdf format for areas within
the BOEM Gulf of Mexico Region. Each SOBD describes a single block within an Official Protraction Diagram (OPD) or Leasing
Map (LM) and shows the lines (Submerged Lands Act, Limit of '8(g) Zone', maritime boundaries and/or marine sanctuaries)
which occur within that block and divide it into different areas. The SOBD contains additional coordinates and area calculations
for an individual block. These data are scanned images of the official paper SOBD's produced by the BOEM. Note that not
all OPDs have boundaries cutting through them, so not all OPDs will have SOBDs generated for them. All current leasing activities
will be done using the most current SOBDs. Historical (outdated) SOBDs can be obtained by contacting the Mapping and Boundary
Branch. Also see the metadata for each of the individual GIS files used to create these SOBDs. The Official Protraction Diagrams
(OPDs) and Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs), serve as the legal definition for BOEM offshore boundary coordinates
and area descriptions. Further information on the historic development of OPD's can be found in OCS Report BOEM 99-0006:
