Name: District_poly
Display Field: DIST_NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Overview
This data layer represents the six districts of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Highway Division in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each district supervises all construction within its jurisdiction; performs on-site engineering; implements maintenance and preventative maintenance programs; generates proposals for maintenance and construction work; and provides engineering support to cities and towns.
This polygon feature class is named MHDDISTRICTS_POLY. An arc feature class is named MHDDISTRICTS_ARC.
Production
The bounds of the MassDOT Highway Districts were created by MassDOT from the MassGIS survey-level town boundaries. The current six districts were established in September 2013. MassGIS received the data from MassDOT and projected it to the Mass. State Plane Meters coordinate system. MassGIS created an arc layer from the polygons and coded the lines for the OUTLINE field. Both layers are included in the downloadable shapefile zip.
