These data sets are free. We ask that if you download a data set, you also download the metadata file associated with the data set. The metadata exhaustively documents the data set using a federal metadata standard. The metadata contains detailed information on sample collection and analysis techniques. Metadata documentation is available in two formats - ASCII (*.txt) and WordPerfect 6 (*.wpd).   Coastal & Estuarine Data Sets   Related Links   Surficial Sediments of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Baltimore Harbor Surficial Sediments   An explanation of Shepard's Ternary Diagram (HTML) Chesapeake Bay Surficial Sediments Map (interactive map) Baltimore Harbor Surficial Sediments Map (interactive map) Atlas of Maryland's Coastal Bays: Physical & Chemical Characteristics        Boundary Data (free download)   Vector maps   Geologic Data (free download)   Chesapeake Bay Sediment Distribution ins ESRI shape file format   Digital Maps on CD-ROM or print-on-demand   Quadrangle Geologic Maps   County Geologic Maps   Digital Quadrangle Geologic Map Series   Digital County Geologic Map Series     for more information contact Dale Shelton (dshelton@mgs.md.gov) 410.554.5505
