Master Address Blocks
GIS File Name
ADDRESS_MasterAddressBlocks
Description
MasterAddressBlocks were created for the field work phase of the Master Address Project. The blocks were derived from U.S. Census blocks, and were modified to create a set of maps to be used for field validation and verification of Cambridge addresses. The numbering does not hold any pattern.
Purpose
This polygon layer is used to break down the City into blocks used for giving each address a unique ID. Each address which is associated with a building is broken down by block and unique ID within that block.
