Layer: Linear Ditching (ID: 17)

Name: Linear Ditching

Display Field: NAME

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline

Description: The canal and ditching data layer was created to identify the presence and quantity of manmade linear alterations (ex. mosquito ditching) on coastal marshes. Ditching was quantified in miles of ditching per one square mile cell of marsh, and further quantified by estimating the density of ditching per square acre of marsh. This vector dataset does not identify all ditching features on the marshes; however, it is the most complete data set of these features that is publically available. This data layer was identified and extracted from the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Hydrography High Resolution (NHD-HR) vector dataset for New Jersey, NHD_H_34 (https://nhd.usgs.gov/data.html). These manmade alterations were selected by querying features labeled as ‘CANAL/DITCH’ in the ‘FType’ attribute field. The USGS ‘Standards for National Hydrography Dataset – High Resolution’ document defines ‘CANAL/DITCH’ as, “An artificial open waterway constructed to transport water, to irrigate or drain land, to connect two or more bodies of water, or to serve as a waterway for watercraft.” (12/19/2011, NHD Standards).
