Overview

This vector data set contains hardened shoreline classifications for the U.S. Great Lakes shoreline. The database consists of shoreline segments classified as either artificial or natural, along with structure type and condition. The data were created by digitizing shoreline using National Agriculture Imagery Program imagery from 2014 through 2017 and comparing it with oblique imagery.
