Users can browse the map interactively or search by lot ID or address. Available basemaps include aerial images, topographic contours, roads, town landmarks, conserved lands, and individual property boundaries. Overlays display landuse, zoning, flood, water resources, and soil characteristics in relation to neighborhoods or parcels. Integration with Google Street View offers enhanced views of the 2D map location. Other functionality includes map markup, printing, viewing the property record card, and links to official tax maps where available.NRPC's implementation of MapGeo dates back to 2013, however it is the decades of foundational GIS data development at NRPC and partner agencies that has enabled its success. NRPC refreshes the assessing data yearly; the map data is maintained in an ongoing manner.

Each grid square is 3500 x 4500 feet. Each Index Sheet contains 16 lot/block sheets, labeled from left to right, top to bottom (4 across, 4 down): A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S. The first (4) numeric characters in a parcelID indicate the Index sheet in which the parcel can be found, the alpha character identifies the block in which most (or all) of the property lies.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Aerial Photography data set includes over 2.5 million film transparencies. Beginning in 1937, photographs were acquired for mapping purposes at different altitudes using various focal lengths and film types. The resultant black-and-white photographs contain less than 5 percent cloud cover and were acquired under rigid quality control and project specifications (e.g., stereo coverage, continuous area coverage of map or administrative units). Prior to the initiation of the National High Altitude Photography (NHAP) program in 1980, the USGS photography collection was one of the major sources of aerial photographs used for mapping the United States. Since 1980, the USGS has acquired photographs over project areas that require photographs at a larger scale than the photographs in the NHAP and National Aerial Photography Program collections.
Several GIS layers are available for the Hastings Reservation and surrounding area. Layers include USGS topographic map and topographic grid, Hastings place names, property boundaries and assessor parcel numbers, Calhoon’s small mammal trap line locations, aerial color photos from 1995, Lauryn Benedict’s trap locations, John Davis’ Towhee trap locations, infrastructure features, IKONOS satellite remote sensing vegetation pictures, and ground truthed IKONOS-based vegetation classification map.
This dataset is designed to represent and identify the property boundaries in Lexington-Fayette County. The original dataset was created in late 1990's by a third party that converted existing paper maps to digital GIS files. The data has since been updated by georeferencing recorded plats for corrections and new additions. In cases where the plats do not appear accurate, aerial photos are utilized in attempt to properly locate the property lines. The only except for this process are changes to highway right-of-way in which calls are run from deeds. The geometry of this data is not of survey quality and should not be used for survey purposes. The data is intended for general reference purposes only.As part of the basemap data layers, the parcel boundary map layer is an integral part of the Lexington Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. Basemap data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. More advanced user applications may focus on thematic mapping, summarization of data by geography, or planning purposes (including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output).
This collection of geo-referenced photos vary with regards to spatial accuracy and resolution. Use the hotlinks below to learn the details of each collection or review MassGIS's new story map explaining all the vintages of aerial photos. Tip: Reviewing that story map might be an easier way to digest the information rather than reviewing the more formal/standard metadata accessible via the hotlinks below.Within the web map certain layers will only be visible at particular zoom extents. If a layer is unavailable to turn on/off, then zoom in or out as needed until the layer becomes active.All photos, except year 1938, are captured during leaf-off (typically late winter/early spring). With the exception of the 1938 & 1990s collection, all photos are in true color. The 1938 & 1990s are in black and white. With regards to Dukes County (which includes the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands) these are the applicable years of acquisition for those State-wide collections that span multiple years: "1990s collection" -- Only year 1999 for Dukes County"2001-2003 collection" -- Only year 2003 for Dukes County"2008-2009 collection" - Only year 2009 for Dukes County"2011-2012 collection" - Only year 2011 for Dukes County"2013-2014 collection" - Only year 2014 for Dukes CountyPhoto Details (Metadata)1938 Black & White Aerials (georeferenced & hosted by Harvard Forest)1990s Black & White Aerials2001-2003 Color Aerials2005 Color Aerials2008-2009 Color Aerials2011-2012 Color Aerials2013-2014 Color Aerials2015 Satellite Images - Extra Details2019 Color Aerials2021 Color Aerials2023 Color AerialsParcel Lines -- These data are NOT survey grade and are intended for general reference only. The parcel data comply with the MassGIS Level 3 parcel data standard. Each town in Dukes County hires a GIS Consultant to prepare their digital parcel lines and to link the properties to the respective records from the town's assessing database. The linkage is static and not updated in real-time - it is only 'as current' as the day the data was exported from the assessing database. The Martha's Vineyard Commission does not edit nor maintain any assessing data or parcel lines/property bounds. Each town within Dukes County updates their digital parcel data when they see fit (most, typically, update annually). Click on a specific town in this map to see when their parcel data was updated and by whom. Similarly, clicking on a parcel in this "MA Aerial Photos Since 1990s web map" will show you the applicable Fiscal Year the assessing info was exported.
The service represents all parcels and areas of Saxony. The plot boundaries shown are based on data from the real estate register. These differ according to origin, accuracy and trustworthiness. This map service is therefore not suitable with its contents for a calculation of dimensions, in particular limit dimensions or boundary distances. From the common presentation of the parcel boundaries together with other map contents (e.g. aerial image/DOP), it cannot be concluded to the actual legal situation on site. The presentation of data from the real estate register, in particular the parcel boundaries in this service, is not considered to be official proof, but merely has an informative character.

Summary: This dataset contains an inventory of City of Los Angeles Sidewalks and related features (Access Ramps, Curbs, Driveways, and Parkways).Background: This inventory was performed throughout 2017 using a combination of G.I.S software, aerial imagery (2014 LARIAC), and a geographic dataset of property/right-of way lines. The dataset has not been updated since its creation.Description: The following provides more detail about the feature classes in this dataset. All features were digitized (“traced”) as observed in the orthophotography (digital aerial photos) and assigned the Parcel Identification Number (PIN) of their corresponding property:Sidewalk (polygon) – represents paved pedestrian walkways. Typical widths are between 3‐6 feet in residential areas and larger and more variable in commercial and high‐density traffic areas.Alley-Sidewalk (polygon) – represents the prevailing walkway or path of travel at the entrance/exit of an alley. Digitized as Sidewalk features but categorized as Alley Sidewalk and assigned a generic PIN value, ALLEY SIDEWALK.Corner Polygon (polygon) - feature created where sidewalks from two streets meet but do not intersect (i.e. at corner lots). There’s no standard shape/type and configurations vary widely. These are part of the Sidewalk feature class.In commercial and high‐density residential areas where there is only continuous sidewalk (no parkway strip), the sidewalk also functions as a Driveway.Driveway (polygon) – represents area that provides vehicular access to a property. Features are not split by extended parcel lot lines except when two adjacent properties are served by the same driveway approach (e.g. a common driveway), in which case they are and assigned a corresponding PIN.Parkway (polygon) – represents the strip of land behind the curb and in front of the sidewalk. Generally, they are landscaped with ground cover but they may also be filled in with decorative stone, pavers, decomposed granite, or concrete. They are created by offsetting lines, the Back of Curb (BOC) line and the Face of Walk (FOW). The distance between the BOC and FOW is measured off the aerial image and rounded to the nearest 0.5 foot, typically 6 – 10 feet.Curb (polygon) – represents the concrete edging built along the street to form part of the gutter. Features are always 6” wide strips and are digitized using the front of curb and back of curb digitized lines. They are the leading improvement polygon and are created for all corner, parkway, driveway and, sidewalk (if no parkway strip is present) features.Curb Ramp, aka Access Ramp (point) – represents the geographic center (centroid) of Corner Polygon features in the Sidewalk feature class. They have either a “Yes” or “No” attribute that indicates the presence or absence of a wheelchair access ramp, respectively.Fields: All features include the following fields...FeatureID – a unique feature identifier that is populated using the feature class’ OBJECTID fieldAssetID – a unique feature identifier populated by Los Angeles City staff for internal usePIND – a unique Parcel Identification Number (PIN) for all parcels within the City of L.A. All Sidewalk related features will be split, non-overlapping, and have one associated Parcel Identification Number (PIN). CreateDate – indicates date feature was createdModifiedDate – indicates date feature was revised/editedCalc_Width (excluding Access Ramps) – a generalized width of the feature calculated using spatial and mathematical algorithms on the feature. In almost all cases where features have variable widths, the minimum width is used. Widths are rounded to the nearest whole number. In cases where there is no value for the width, the applied algorithms were unable to calculate a reliable value.Calc_Length (excluding Access Ramps) – a generalized length of the feature calculated using spatial and mathematical algorithms on the feature. Lengths are rounded to the nearest whole number. In cases where there is no value for the length, the applied algorithms were unable to calculate a reliable value.Methodology: This dataset was digitized using a combination of G.I.S software, aerial imagery (2014 LARIAC), and a geographic dataset of property/right-of way lines.The general work flow is as follows:Create line work based on digital orthophotography, working from the face‐of‐curb (FOC) inward to the property right-of-way (ROW)Build sidewalk, parkway, driveway, and curb polygons from the digitized line workPopulate all polygons with the adjacent property PIN and classify all featuresCreate Curb Ramp pointsWarnings: This dataset has been provided to allow easy access and a visual display of Sidewalk and related features (Parkways, Driveway, Curb Ramps and Curbs). Every reasonable effort has been made to assure the accuracy of the data provided; nevertheless, some information may not be accurate. The City of Los Angeles assumes no responsibility arising from use of this information. THE MAPS AND ASSOCIATED DATA ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Other things to keep in mind about this dataset are listed below:Obscured Features – The existence of dense tree canopy or dark shadows in the aerial imagery tend to obscure or make it difficult to discern the extent of certain features, such as Driveways. In these cases, they may have been inferred from the path in the corresponding parcel. If a feature and approach was completely obscured, it was not digitized. In certain instances the coloring of the sidewalk and adjacent pavement rendered it impossible to identify the curb line or that a sidewalk existed. Therefore a sidewalk may or may not be shown where one actually may or may not exist.Context: The following links provide information on the policy context surrounding the creation of this dataset.

The flight and images produced under this task order have been supplied to Nez Perce County for use in the development of the geographic information system (GIS) for the county of Nez Perce, Idaho and Lewis Clark Valley area. Digital orthophotos are aerial images corrected for displacement caused by relief in the Earth's surface, camera/sensor lens distortion and tilting of the sensor at the time of image acquisition. Additionally, orthophotos are assigned a uniform scale, which allows an end-user the ability to derive accurate measurements from the imagery. Orthophotos can be used as an accurate record of landscape conditions at the time of the corresponding aerial imagery. As such, the digital orthophotos are used in a variety of applications, such as environmental monitoring, facility engineering/maintenance, city/county planning, property line review, etc. The digital orthophoto can be used alone or as a raster base map for corresponding vector line mapping. These data are horizontally referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) 2011, Idaho: State Plane Idaho West Zone (Idaho portions) and vertically referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of NAVD 1988. Survey Feet have been adjusted to ground for the Idaho portions. Units are in U.S. Foot.
DOUGLAS COUNTY SURVEY/GISGIS PARCEL MAPPING GUIDELINES FOR PARCEL DISCREPANCIESIt is the intent of the Douglas County GIS Parcel Mapping to accurately identify the areas of land parcels to be valued and taxed 1. Discrepancies in areas• The Auditor/Assessor (tax) acreage areas started with the original US General Land Office (GLO) township plat maps created from the Public Land Survey (PLS) that was done between 1858 and 1871. The recovery of the PLS corners and the accurate location of these corners with GPS obtained coordinates has allowed for accurate section subdivisions, which results in accurate areas for parcels based on legal descriptions, which may be significantly different than the original areas. (See Example 2)• Any parcel bordering a meandered lake and/or a water boundary will likely have a disparity of area between the Auditor/Assessor acreages and the GIS acreages because of the inaccuracy of the original GLO meander lines from which the original areas were determined. Water lines are not able to be drafted to the same accuracy as the normal parcel lines. The water lines are usually just sketched on a survey and their dimensions are not generally given on a land record. The water boundaries of our GIS parcels are located from aerial photography. This is a subjective determination based on the interpretation by the Survey/GIS technician of what is water. Some lakes fluctuate significantly and the areas of all parcels bordering water are subject to constant change. In these cases the ordinary high water line (OHW) is attempted to be identified. Use of 2-foot contours will be made, if available. (See Example 1)• Some land records do not accurately report the area described in the land description and the description area is ignored. (See Example 3)• The parcel mapping has made every attempt to map the parcels based on available survey information as surveyed and located on the ground. This may conflict with some record legal descriptions.Solutions• If an actual survey by a licensed Land Surveyor is available, it will be utilized for the tax acreage.• If the Auditor/Assessor finds a discrepancy between the tax and GIS areas, they will request a review by the County Survey/GIS department.• As a starting guideline, the County Survey/GIS department will identify all parcels that differ in tax area versus GIS parcel area of 10 % or more and a difference of at least 5 acres. (This could be expanded later after the initial review.)• Each of these identified parcels will be reviewed individually by the County Survey/GIS department to determine the reason for the discrepancy and a recommendation will be made by the County Survey/GIS department to the Auditor/Assessor if the change should be made or not.• If a change is to be made to the tax area, a letter will be sent to the taxpayer informing them that their area will be changed during the next tax cycle, which could affect their property valuation. This letter will originate from the Auditor/Assessor with explanation from the County Survey/GIS department. 2. Gaps and Overlaps• Land descriptions for adjoining parcels sometimes overlap or leave a gap between them.o In these instances the Survey/GIS technician has to make a decision where to place this boundary. A number of circumstances are reviewed to facilitate this decision as these dilemmas are usually decided on a case by case basis. All effort will be made to not leave a gap, but sometimes this is not possible and the gap will be shown with “unknown” ownership. (Note: The County does not have the authority to change boundaries!)o Some of the circumstances reviewed are: Which parcel had the initial legal description? Does the physical occupation of the parcel line as shown on the air photo more closely fit one of the described parcels? Interpretation of the intent of the legal description. Is the legal description surveyable?Note: These overlaps will be shown on the GIS map with a dashed “survey line” and accompanying text for the line not used for the parcel boundary. 3. Parcel lines that do not match location of buildings Structures on parcels do not always lie within the boundaries of the parcel. This may be a circumstance of building without the benefit of a survey or of misinterpreting these boundaries. The parcel lines should be shown accurately as surveyed and/or described regardless of the location of structures on the ground. NOTE: The GIS mapping is not a survey, but is an interpretation of parcel boundaries predicated upon resources available to the County Survey/GIS department.Gary Stevenson Page 1 7/21/2017Example 1Example 2A Example 2B Example 3

This data results from the NRSC's ongoing 1:25000 UK Aerial Photography Programme; a project designed to maintain an up to date aerial coverage of the United Kingdom, covering the complete area at least every 5 years.
The Orthoview product has been generated from vertical aerial photographs. The photographs have been orthorectified (to correct for distortion towards their edges) then mosaiced to provide a seamless dataset for the UK at a 0.5 metre resolution. This allows imagery for any area of interest to be generated without issues associated with scenes falling across multiple photographs.
In addition to its prime application in photogrammetric mapping (from updating and contouring existing maps to preparing large scale engineering plans), the data is used for environmental studies, general planning, land use and land capability, soils, pollution, forestry, mining and quarrying, housing and leisure development, agriculture, geology, water, transport and civil engineering, boundary disputes, public enquiries, etc.
The data is stored in digital form and can be supplied on either Exabyte, CD-ROM or CCT. Various hard copy forms can also be generated, including posters and photographic positives/negatives. Price lists and further information are available from the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC).
Note: All photography is flown to RICS Specification for Aerial Photography Issue III, see references.
The 1998 Kern County land use survey data set was developed by DWR through its Division of Planning and Local Assistance (DPLA). The data was gathered using aerial photography and extensive field visits, the land use boundaries and attributes were digitized, and the resultant data went through standard quality control procedures before finalizing. The land uses that were gathered were detailed agricultural land uses, and lesser detailed urban and native vegetation land uses. The data was gathered and digitized by staff of DWR’s San Joaquin District. Quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s DPLA headquarters and San Joaquin District. The finalized data include a shapefile covering the major agricultural and urban areas of Kern County, primarily in western Kern County (land use vector data) and JPEG files (raster data from aerial imagery). Important Points about Using this Data Set: 1. The land use boundaries were either drawn on-screen using developed photoquads, or hand drawn directly on USGS quad maps and then digitized. They were drawn to depict observable areas of the same land use. They were not drawn to represent legal parcel (ownership) boundaries, or meant to be used as parcel boundaries. 2. This survey was a "snapshot" in time. The indicated land use attributes of each delineated area (polygon) were based upon what the surveyor saw in the field at that time, and, to an extent possible, whatever additional information the aerial photography might provide. For example, the surveyor might have seen a cropped field in the photograph, and the field visit showed a field of corn, so the field was given a corn attribute. In another field, the photograph might have shown a crop that was golden in color (indicating grain prior to harvest), and the field visit showed newly planted corn. This field would be given an attribute showing a double crop, grain followed by corn. The DWR land use attribute structure allows for up to three crops per delineated area (polygon). In the cases where there were crops grown before the survey took place, the surveyor may or may not have been able to detect them from the field or the photographs. For crops planted after the survey date, the surveyor could not account for these crops. Thus, although the data is very accurate for that point in time, it may not be an accurate determination of what was grown in the fields for the whole year. If the area being surveyed does have double or multicropping systems, it is likely that there are more crops grown than could be surveyed with a "snapshot". 3. If the data is to be brought into a GIS for analysis of cropped (or planted) acreage, two things must be understood: a. The acreage of each field delineated is the gross area of the field. The amount of actual planted and irrigated acreage will always be less than the gross acreage, because of ditches, farm roads, other roads, farmsteads, etc. Thus, a delineated corn field may have a GIS calculated acreage of 40 acres but will have a smaller cropped (or net) acreage, maybe 38 acres. b. Double and multicropping must be taken into account. A delineated field of 40 acres might have been cropped first with grain, then with corn, and coded as such. To estimate actual cropped acres, the two crops are added together (38 acres of grain and 38 acres of corn) which results in a total of 76 acres of net crop (or planted) acres. 4. Water source information was not collected for this survey. 5. Not all land use codes will be represented in the survey.

This dataset contains files created, digitized, or georeferenced by Chris DeRolph for mapping the pre-urban renewal community within the boundaries of the Riverfront-Willow St. and Mountain View urban renewal projects in Knoxville TN. Detailed occupant information for properties within boundaries of these two urban renewal projects was extracted from the 1953 Knoxville City Directory. The year 1953 was chosen as a representative snapshot of the Black community before urban renewal projects were implemented. The first urban renewal project to be approved was the Riverfront-Willow Street project, which was approved in 1954 according to the University of Richmond Renewing Inequality project titled ‘Family Displacements through Urban Renewal, 1950-1966’ (link below in the 'Other shapefiles' section).

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. Spatial data from field observation points and quantitative plots were used to edit the formation-level maps of Petersburg National Battlefield to better reflect vegetation classes. Using ArcView 3.3, polygon boundaries were revised onscreen over leaf-off photography. Units used to label polygons on the map (i.e. map classes) are equivalent to one or more vegetation classes from the regional vegetation classification, or to a land-use class from the Anderson (Anderson et al. 1976) Level II classification system. Each polygon on the Petersburg National Battlefield map was assigned to one of twenty map classes based on plot data, field observations, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps. The mapping boundary was based on park boundary data obtained from Petersburg National Battlefield in May 2006. Spatial data depicting the locations of earthworks was obtained from the park and used to identify polygons of the cultural map classes Open Earthworks and Forested Earthworks. One map class used to attribute polygons combines two similar associations that, in some circumstances, are difficult to distinguish in the field. The vegetation map was clipped at the park boundary because areas outside the park were not surveyed or included in the accuracy assessment. Twenty map classes were used in the vegetation map for Petersburg National Battlefield. Map classes are equivalent to one or more vegetation classes from the regional vegetation classification, or to a land-use class from the Anderson (Anderson et al. 1976) Level II classification system.
Users can browse the map interactively or search by lot ID or address. Available basemaps include aerial images, topographic contours, roads, town landmarks, conserved lands, and individual property boundaries. Overlays display landuse, zoning, flood, water resources, and soil characteristics in relation to neighborhoods or parcels. Integration with Google Street View offers enhanced views of the 2D map location. Other functionality includes map markup, printing, viewing the property record card, and links to official tax maps where available.NRPC's implementation of MapGeo dates back to 2013, however it is the decades of foundational GIS data development at NRPC and partner agencies that has enabled its success. NRPC refreshes the assessing data yearly; the map data is maintained in an ongoing manner.
