Description: Publication Date: March 2026. Updated as needed. Current as of the Publication Date. A vector polygon layer of the New York State boundary. The source data was originally a compilation of U.S. Geological Survey 1:100,000-scale digital vector files and NYS Department of Transportation 1:24,000-scale and 1:75,000-scale digital vector files. The boundary was revised to 1:24,000-scale positional accuracy. Additional metadata, including field descriptions, can be found at the NYS GIS Clearinghouse: https://gis.ny.gov/civil-boundaries. Spatial Reference of Source Data: NAD 1983 UTM Zone 18N. Spatial Reference of Map Service: WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere. This map service is available to the public.

Description: Publication Date: March 2026. Updated as needed. Current as of the Publication Date. A vector polygon layer that includes 1) the New York State boundary over land areas and 2) the state shoreline, including islands, in areas where the state boundary extends over major hydrographic features. The purpose is to provide an “outline” of the state for GIS and cartographic uses. It can be used to clip the boundaries in the Cities, Towns, or Cities_Towns layers back to the shoreline if it is desired to only use or depict the land areas covered by those jurisdictions around the perimeter of the state. The boundaries were revised to 1:24,000-scale accuracy. Ongoing work will adjust the shorelines to 1:24,000-scale accuracy. Additional metadata, including field descriptions, can be found at the NYS GIS Clearinghouse: https://gis.ny.gov/civil-boundaries. Spatial Reference of Source Data: NAD 1983 UTM Zone 18N.
