This data set is a spatial representation of the jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey developed by the New Jersey Office of Information Technology (OIT), Office of Geographic Information Systems (OGIS). It is not a survey document and should not be used as such. The polygon delineated in this data set does not represent the legal state boundary.
This data set improves upon previous versions of the state boundary through the integration of coincident features from several high quality source data sets, as a component of the OGIS statewide Parcels Normalization Project concluded in March 2010.
To provide basic jurisdictional information. This data set was developed to produce the most accurate delineation of the state boundary achievable from existing data sources.
Spatially referenced data were derived from the following GIS layers to build municipal boundary lines. They include:
Delaware Geological Survey - New Jersey/Delaware boundary data through the Delaware River
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - New Jersey/New York boundary data for Ellis Island
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - land use/landcover data delineation for the New Jersey/New York boundary for Liberty Island
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Geological Survey - New Jersey/New York boundary data for the northern border of New Jersey, and New Jersey/New York boundary data through the Hudson River, Kill Van Kull and Raritan Bay, and New Jersey/Delaware boundary data through Delaware Bay
New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of Geographic Information Systems - New Jersey/Pennsylvania boundary data, and Atlantic Coast "Three Mile Limit"

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Geological Survey New Jersey/New York boundary data were used as primary data sources for the northern border of New Jersey, and New Jersey/New York boundary data through the Hudson River, Kill Van Kull and Raritan Bay, and New Jersey/Delaware boundary data through Delaware Bay. Survey points were used to delineate the New Jersey/New York boundary for the northern border of the state. Turning points through the Hudson River, Kill Van Kull and Raritan Bay were used to delineate the New Jersey/New York boundary, and the New Jersey/Delaware boundary through Delaware Bay.

Delaware Geological Survey boundary data for the New Jersey/Delaware border through the Delaware River were used as a primary data source. Boundary, boundary monument, and boundary reference monument positions were calculated at the 1934 mean low water line along the New Jersey shoreline from descriptions in a 1934/1935 United States Supreme Court Decree.

A delineation of the centerline of the Delaware River representing the New Jersey/Pennsylvania boundary was developed for the project. An inventory of Delaware River islands with state jurisdiction was developed from information in "The Story Of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries 1606 - 1968" by John F. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography, Trenton, New Jersey, 1969. Using this information, a delineation was generated to represent the centerline of the Delaware River from the New Jersey/New York border to the 12 mile circle at the New Jersey/Delaware border. The delineation of the centerline of the Delaware River was generated by manually digitizing the river's visible shorelines, interpreted from New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of Geographic Information Systems 2002 orthophotography (+/-4 feet). A centerline was generated from the shorelines utilizing the DUAL COLLAPSE command. Using the automated centerline as a guide, the final delineation was manually digitized to provide a smoother, more visually suitable centerline.

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems land use/landcover data were used as a primary data source to develop the New Jersey/New York boundary for Liberty Island. These data were derived from New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of Geographic Information Systems 2002 orthophotography (+/-4 feet). The delineation from the land use/landcover data for the shoreline of Liberty Island was used to represent the state boundary coincident with that shoreline. Liberty Island is part of New York, but the surrounding waters are in New Jersey.

As a component of the New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (OGIS) Parcels Normalization Project in 2008-2010, parcels boundaries were modified to match municipal, county and state boundaries data developed by OGIS in 2008 where those boundaries were coincident. During this process, modifications were made to the municipal, county and state boundaries data sets to improve spatial and temporal accuracy where research was necessary to resolve boundary conflicts, and in areas where higher quality data became available subsequent to the 2008 boundaries data release.
