Description:

Abstract:: Skagit_Map_Grid is a custom indexing grid that is alpha numeric in style, and geometrically coincides with the grid lines of the United States National Grid. The index grid is broken into two scales; 3000m x 3000m, and 1000m x 1000m. Both sets of grid cells(3000m and 1000m) are contained within this dataset. The index grid may be broken down further if necessary, into a custom 500m x 500m size.
The user may symbolize the dataset based on the SCALE field for displaying the 2 grids. Alternatively, it may be desireable to seperate the two grids into different layers for ease of use.
For correct display, please set the base coordinate system and projection for NAD 83 UTM Zone 10N Datum.
Further information about the US National Grid is available from: <http://www.fgdc.gov/usng>
Purpose:: Skagit County, along with other emergency response agencies, identified a need for a uniform standardized county-wide index system with scalability.
