Digital CBRS Boundaries
Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) polygons in this data set are
only representations of the official CBRS boundaries and are not to be
considered authoritative. In general, these digital boundaries can be
considered accurate to within approximately 150 feet of the actual CBRS
boundaries as shown on the official maps. Additionally, because CBRS units
extend seaward out to either the 20- or 30-foot bathymetric contour (depending
on the location of the unit), the true seaward extent of the units is
not shown. The Service is not responsible for any misuse or
misinterpretation of this digital data set, including use of the data to
determine eligibility for federal financial assistance such as federal flood
insurance. For information on obtaining an official determination of
whether or not an area or specific property is located within the CBRS, please

the horizontal accuracy of this digital data set, please read the
metadata.
