This Feature Class was created in 2014 as part of a Connecticut Office of Policy and Management grant to the Central Connecticut Regional Planning Association.

The original parcel layer was digitized from tax maps created by James W. Sewall Company of Old Town, ME in 1983. More current orthophotos, specifically those from the 2009 CCROG flight and the 2012 State flight were used to refine the property lines using obvious indications of property lines such as fences and hedgerows. In addition, 31parcels were drawn by Coordinate Geography (COGO) using sub-division and property maps.

Parcels creation followed the following steps:

1) Digitization of property lines in the feature class PARCEL_ARCS.

2) Creation and attribution of a point feature (PARCEL_POINTS), containing the parcel link field (MBL2), the key field for linking to the CAMA.

3) Automated creation of parcel polygons using PARCEL_ARCS, with PARCEL_POINTS to Label the features.
