Description:
Abstract: This Web Map Service (WMS) layer serves a seamless copy of color topographic base map (1:100,000 scale) raster graphic images. Data in the WMS were derived from county-wide images published by the NJ Geological Survey in NAD83 NJ State Plane feet coordinates. NJGS derived those images from Digital Raster Graphic files of 60 minute by 30 minute quadrangles, published by the US Geological Survey. Source images are 12-color, 250 DPI. Source map dates are 1982 - 1986.
Purpose: The WMS was created for easy, service-based access to small-scale topographic map data.
Supplemental Information: The WMS can be used by any GIS client program that can consume OGC-compliant services.

Logical Consistency Report: Data for all areas of the state were obtained from the same set of source files.
Completeness Report: The WMS covers the entire land area of the state of New Jersey, plus some State water areas.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Creator of the NJGS product states that the product meets National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:100,000 scale maps (not more than 10% of the points tested shall be in error more than 166.67 feet), with the following warning:"The accuracy check for the set of images is based solely on comparing locations of 7-1/2 minute ticks on the images to those from the NJDEP 7-1/2' tile coverage (quads86). The location of the county boundaries on the images often depart from the location of their vectorized equavalents (taken from stcoq). The sources for, and nature of, this misalignment are unknown, but misalignment is most pronounced along rivers and streams, and to lesser extents along linear segments of the county boundary. The images are not clipped to the vectorized county boundary. Moreover, the county boundaries showing on the images are preserved in an attempt to optimize alignment of adjacent sets of county images."

Process Step:
Process Description: 
USGS DRGs of 60 minute by 30 minute topographic quadrangle maps were obtained on CD. Image parts were extracted and re-assembled to create county-wide images.The county-wide images were georeferenced to base data in coordinate system NAD83 NJ State Plane feet.Additional processing details can be found in the metadata for the county-wide files, published by the NJGS:http://www.state.nj.us/dep/njgs/geodata/dgs98-7md.txt

Ordering Instructions: This OGC-compliant WMS is compatible with a broad range of client software (See http://thecarbonproject.azurewebsites.net/Products/Gaia for one example of a free client). Use the network resource address to connect to the service. You will have to drill down to get to the single data layer.ArcGIS-Specific Instructions:-Launch ArcCatalog or open the ArcMap Catalog window.-Open "GIS Servers" in the catalog tree and double-click "Add WMS Server". -In the URL field, fill in the network resource URL. Click the "Get Layers" button to confirm you have the correct URL. Click "ok".-Preview the service or open the server connection and drag the service into the map. You may have to drill down to the imagery layer, depending on what version of the software you are using.-If you already have other layers in the map, the web map service will be projected to match them. If not, it will default to longitude/latitude, and you should change the projection. Right-click on the layer name and choose "change coordinate system". NJ State Plane is recommended. -You may get a warning message about the coordinate transformation; dismiss it. The errors described in that warning will not actually occur if you are using NJ State Plane coordinates. That coordinate system is supported directly in the web map service, so ArcMap does not wind up doing the coordinate transformation.
