Process Description:
Through the Cross-acceptance process, a series of 1:24000 film USGS quadrangle registered maps defining the Core bboundaries of the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan was created. Locations of the boundaries were originally refined using hardcopy orthophotouquads as produced by Markhurd Corp (1986). Later boundaries were digitized using digital orthophotos at 3-meter resolution (1991), and later still, using 1995 digital orthophotos at 1-meter resolution from USGS. Updated orthophotos were used as they became available. Most Cores were mapped as part of the plan endorsement process.
