Abstract:

This shapefile represents the boundaries of Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR).

Purpose:

The initial, original purpose of this data set is unknown. This shapefile was used to provide a general representation of the SAIR boundary for the vegetation classification and mapping project completed by NatureServe for the National Park Service, Northeast Region in 2008.
