Description:
Abstract:
This data set consists of the locations of boat launches within the Galveston Bay area. Data were subsetted from the Texas General Land Office's (GLO) rampstpwd data set. From the original metadata - Data were digitized by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
Purpose:
To provide information and location for boat ramps for the Galveston Bay area.
Supplemental_Information:
This metadata record was generated using the original metadata record for the original data set. NWRC would like to acknowledge TX GLO for the use of the metadata.

Process_Description:
Using ArcINFO 8+, the original data set was reprojected from NAD27 to NAD83. The coordinate system was changed from geographic to UTM, and then subsetted to the boundaries of the Galveston Bay area (GMEP boundaries).
