The ESRI shapefile named "LAKE_MICHIGAN_SHORELINE" was developed by
the Indiana Geological Survey from a layer obtained from the Great Lakes
Geographic Information System (GLGIS) entitled "Lake Michigan shore noaa 70k."
IGS personnel corrected lines from the Indiana portion of this layer using high-
resolution orthophotos from the IndianaMap 2005 Orthophotography Project. The
original source layer is available for download at
<http://gis.glin.net/ogc/services.php#lm_shore_noaa_70k>. The Great Lakes Geographic
Information System is a project of the Great Lakes Information Network, which is
managed by the Great Lakes Commission. More information is available at:

- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This polygon layer shows the extent of Lake Michigan and its major
tributaries and harbors. It is an update of a National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) layer entitled "Lake Michigan shore noaa 70k." This layer
includes updates for the Indiana shoreline and tributaries in Indiana. The Indiana
portion of this layer was re-digitized at a scale of 1:5,000 or greater using
6-inch and 1-foot resolution color orthophotography from 2005 as a base map.
The following is extracted from the original NOAA metadata:
"NOAA's Medium Resolution Digital Shoreline is a high-quality, general use digital
vector dataset compiled from NOAA Nautical Charts, created by the Strategic
Environmental Assessments Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources, Conservation
and Assessment. Nominal mapping scale is 1:70,000."
- Purpose:
-
This layer provides a highly accurate depiction of the Lake Michigan
shoreline and its harbors and tributaries in northwestern Indiana.
The following is extracted from the original NOAA metadata:
"The product is designed to meet the demanding needs of a broad target audience.
Potential subscribers include government agencies, universities and other research
institutions, the private sector, and students, as well as any other concern
requiring a general purpose digital shoreline layer for GIS and cartographic
projects.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This layer was compiled by the Indiana Geological Survey using source data obtained
from Great Lakes Geographic Information System (GLGIS), a project of the Great Lakes
Information Network (GLIN). The GLGIS layer was compiled from National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) nautical charts.

- Process_Description:
-
Personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey downloaded a line shapefile entitled
"Lake Michigan shore noaa 70k" from the Great Lakes Information Network Web site:
<http://gis.glin.net/ogc/services.php#lm_shore_noaa_70k> on October 31, 2008. IGS personnel
created a temporary shapefile and re-digitized the portion of "Lake Michigan shore noaa 70k"
that falls within Indiana using the 2005 Aerial Photos as a base map. All digitization was
done at a map scale of 1:5,000 or larger (more detailed). IGS personnel then clipped off
the portion of "Lake Michigan shore noaa 70k" within Indiana and merged
"Lake Michigan shore noaa 70k" with the newly digitized information to create a line
shapefile called "Lake_Michigan_Shoreline_Line." IGS personnel then used the
"Feature to Polygon" tool in ArcGIS ArcMap to convert the line shapefile to a polygon
shapefile called "Lake_Michigan_Shoreline."
IGS personnel then removed a few extraneous "island" polygons that were created as part
of the "line to polygon" conversion. IGS personnel also used the "Cut Polygon Features"
editing tool to arbitrarily separate the tributary/harbor polygons from the main lake polygon.
IGS personnel then added two attribute fields "Type" and "Name" to distinguish these features
from the main lake.
