Abstract: The data depicts the statewide grid of quadrangle boundaries for the State of New Jersey.
Purpose: This data was produced to provide a graphic representation of information that depicts the statewide grid of quadrangle boundaries of New Jersey. It was generated in decimal degrees, NAD83, using the ARC/INFO GENERATE command with the FISHNET option. This grid was then projected to NJ State Plane Feet, NAD 83. Attributes and tic ids were updated as necessary.
