There are 169 town polygon features in this layer. The corresponding town number and town name attributes uniquely identify town polygon features. Town number values are based on the Town Codes issued by the State of Connecticut, Office of the State Controller, which range from 1 to 169. As a historic note, the Connecticut Town Index layer was originally digitized in 1986 by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection using Esri ArcInfo 3 software installed on a mini computer. It was the first statewide GIS layer created by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The data was in ArcInfo coverage format, Connecticut State Plane Coordinate System, North American Datum 1927, and map units feet. Connecticut Town Index is a general purpose index map of Connecticut towns that was compiled at 1:125,000 scale (1 inch equals approximately 2 miles). The layer is designed to be used to depict Connecticut towns at small scales or on small maps printed on regular size (8.5 x 11 inch) paper, for example. The Town Index layer does not accurately represent Connecticut town boundaries because it was digitized at 1:125,000 scale. Do not display, map or analyze the Town Index layer with information collected at larger scales. To depict more accurate 1:24,000-scale Connecticut town boundaries on a map, use the layer named Town, which is also published by the State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. 19860101 Connecticut Town Index depgis.DEP.TOWN_INDEX vector digital data http://www.ct.gov/deep Hartford, Connecticut, USA State of Connecticut, Department of Environmental Protection The USGS is the collector of the mapped town boundary data (compiler).

Planimetry revised in 1974. U.S Geological Survey, National Mapping Program (data compiler and publisher) Digitzed Connecticut town boundaries printed on map. Create Towns Index layer - Using ESRI ArcInfo software, features were digitized by registering the 1:125,000-scale State of Connecticut map to the digitizing tablet and using the crosshairs of the digitizer's mouse to manually capture the geometry (shape) of town boundaries on the published map. It is not known which features on the map were used as registration points to register the map to the digitizing table nor is the quality of the registration known or documented. For example, the RMS error was undocumented and not known at the time this metatdata was written. In general, line work on the published map corresponding to the boundaries of the Connecticut towns and the Connecticut coastline were manually digitized off the source map so as to not overshoot or undershoot any intersecting town boundaries. Where necessary, additional minor corrections (edits) to feature geometry were manually digitized on the screen (heads-up digitizing) at larger (zoomed in) display scales. Line features enclosed the geographic areas for all 169 towns. Outlined by these linear features, town polygon features were subsequently created and manually encoded with the corresponding Town number and Town name attribute values. These values were visually inspected for accuracy. In 1999, the data was converted from ESRI ArcInfo Coverage format to ESRI Shapefile format and transformed from the Connecticut State Plane Coordinate System, North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27) to the Connecticut State Plane Coordinate System, North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The AREA, PERIMETER, TOWN#, and TOWN-ID attributes from ArcInfo coverage format were not included in the Shapefile because their values are only maintained by ArcInfo software with spatial data that is ArcInfo coverage format. Using ArcView 3.3 software and an Avenue script named Table.ExportSorted (Peter Girard, author) available from the ArcScripts download page at www.esri.com, the polygon feature attribute table was permanently sorted in ascending order by Town number. As a historic note, the Connecticut Town Index layer was originally digitized in 1986 by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection using Esri ArcInfo 3 software installed on a mini computer. It was the first statewide GIS layer created by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.

This data is not updated. Polygon features conform to the following topological rules. Polygons are single part. There are no duplicate polygons. Polygons do not self overlap. Polygons do not overlap other polygons. Establishment of logical consistency was orginally performed by the State of Connecticut, Department of Environmental Protection using ESRI ArcInfo software to manually create and control feature topology. The original minimum distance between vertices (ArcInfo Coverage fuzzy tolerance) and a minimum allowed overshoot length (ArcInfo Coverage dangle length) were not documented and unknown at the time this metadata was created in 2005. However, the original data was known to be topologically clean. After subsequently converting the data from ESRI ArcInfo Coverage to ESRI Shapefile format, no automated procedures or tests were performed to enforce the topology rules other than visual inspection. All attributes have valid values. Values are within defined domains. The Town number and Town name polygon attributes were manually entered based information depicted on a map of the state of Connecticut.
