New York State Hunting Zone Boundary Line

New York State's official boundary line separating its northern and southern hunting zones. The dataset is a geospatial line defined by roads, rivers, and landmarks, published by data.ny.gov. It was last updated in November 2021.

Use Cases

• Validate hunter-reported location data against the official SHAPE_LEN geometry to determine zone compliance.
• Integrate the_geom line data with other geospatial layers, like land cover, for habitat and zone analysis.
• Use the OBJECTID as a stable key to join this boundary with related datasets on hunting permits or harvest reports.

Strengths

• Provides the official, legally defined boundary for a key state regulation.
• Includes a precise SHAPE_LEN measurement for the line geometry.

Limitations

• No sample data is available to verify column formats or data structure.
• The dataset contains only 3 columns, offering minimal descriptive attributes.
