Copied selected features (as outlined in the Consent Decree 2000 documentation) of the US Department of Commerce (Bureau of the Census, Geography Division) county census (1995) layer into new shapefile. A one mile buffer was then generated from the polyline shapefile using the buffer wizard tool in Arc Map. Created a new polygon shapefile in ArcGIS 8.1. Copied selected features (as outlined in the Consent Decree 2000 documentation) of the US Department of Commerce (Bureau of the Census, Geography Division) county census (1995) layer into new shapefile. The new polygon feature was then commbined with the one mile buffer created earlier. The desired features were then selected and exported as a new shapefile. Created a new point shapefile in ArcGIS 8.1. A point was located on the USGS Cheboygan county 1:24,000 DRG as outlined in the Consent Decree 2000 documentation. A one mile buffer was then generated from the point shapefile using the buffer wizard tool in Arc Map. The new buffer was then commbined with the preceding shapefile using the union tool from the geoprocessing wizard in Arc Map. The desired features were then selected and exported as a new shapefile. Created a new point shapefile in ArcGIS 8.1. A point was located on the USGS Presque Isle county 1:24,000 DRG as outlined in the Consent Decree 2000 documentation. The point was generated on the nautical light located at the northeast end of the northeast jetty. A 0.5 mile buffer was then generated from the point shapefile using the buffer wizard tool in Arc Map. Created a new point shapefile in ArcGIS 8.1. A point was generated at the intersection of the buffer and the preceding exported shapefile. A 0.5 mile buffer was then generated from the point shapefile using the buffer wizard tool in Arc Map. Created a new polygon shapefile in ArcGIS 8.1. Snapped to the above point and extended the southern boundary through the intersection of the overlapping buffers generated earlier. Continued polygon in counter clockwise direction to encorporate the target area outlined in the Consent Decree 2000 documentation. The new polygon feature was then clipped to the exported polgon created earlier. Selected for desired features, merged as new layer in ArcMap, and reprojected from Michigan georef to Decimal Degrees to create the final Cordwood Point Zone layer.
