NOAA Shoreline Mapping for Inland Route, Crooked Lake to Mullett Lake, Michigan

NOAA's National Ocean Service provides a high-resolution vector shoreline dataset for the inland route between Crooked Lake and Mullett Lake in Michigan. The data is compiled from imagery and structured using the C-COAST attribution scheme to align with hydrographic standards. This resource was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Creating base maps for nautical charts based on the high-resolution vector shoreline.
• Analyzing shoreline change over time based on the imagery-derived line and point data.
• Integrating shoreline data into geographic information systems (GIS) for environmental planning based on the provided shapefiles.
• Translating coastal features into S-57 standard formats for hydrographic systems based on the C-COAST attribution scheme.

Strengths

• Data is described as 'accurate high-resolution shoreline' compiled from imagery.
• Shoreline attribution follows the structured C-COAST scheme, influenced by international S-57 standards.
• Data is provided by the authoritative National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
