Map Introduction

This map was produced by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council’s (MAPC) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Department for purposes of identifying criteria relevant to sitting wind energy facilities in the North Shore coastal region. The MAPC applied for and received funding from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative Community Planning and Development Grant Program to integrate certain forms of distributed power generation and renewable energy into the local planning process. Funds were secured under the grant CP-04-05 for the creation of a map that would highlight areas with an increased potential for wind energy development within the coastal North Shore study area. The map also plays a role in identifying areas that may need tobe considered when sitting wind energy developments.

Data Sources

A complete list of data sources and the agencies involved in the map�s creation are as follows:Massachusetts Geographic Information System (MassGIS), Metropolitan Area Planning Council(MAPC), Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) and Massachusetts TechnologyCollaborative.

Map Notes

This map was created by the MAPC GIS Department using the Arc/Info mapping and mapanalysis software. Specific mention of brand-name products or services does not necessarilyconstitute endorsement for use by the MAPC. The features depicted on this map represent approximations of real-world conditions and shouldonly be used for planning purposes. The features depicted on this map may or may not meetNational Map Accuracy Standards. That this exists for features shown on this has not beenevaluated. There have been no deliberate omissions of map feature geography or featureattributes.
