+# MIDAS
+
+MIDAS stands for "Maine Information Display Analys System" and a unique MIDAS string identifier is assigned to all of Maine's inland water.
+
+Every time I try to find this metadata I end up spending way too much time, so I am making this available mostly to help me keep my sanity, but it may help others as well.
+
+## Details
+
+Geometry: POINT (EPSG:4326) — lake/pond/etc centroid
+
+Fields: `name` (lake/pond/etc name; <chr>), `midas` (MIDAS identifier;<chr>)
+
+## Formats
+
+- `shp/`: ESRI Shapefile (POINT geom)
+- `midas.csv`: Plain ol' CSV with X & Y
+- `midas.geojson`: GeoJSON (POINT geom)
+- `midas.sqlite`: Spatial-ops compatible SQLite; `midas` table (POINT geom)
