The Bedford County VA Composite Geocoding service is a composite locator built from geospatial data from NG911 Site Address Points, Road Centerlines, Common Places, Parcels (RPCs, PINs, Owners), Subdivisions, and Populated Places.This composite locator is made up of three locators: a primary base locator, and two ancillary locators which provide results if supplying Parcel PINs (e.g., 214 A 197 T) and Parcel Owners.Users can locate using the following search criteria:Address Point:(e.g., ‘122 E Main St’)Interpolated Street Address:(e.g., ‘125 E Main St’ — Doesn't exist, but the locator estimates where this address would exist)Street Name:(e.g., ‘E Main St’)Street Intersections (uses ‘ & ’ operator):(e.g., ‘E Main St & N Bridge St’)Common Places (i.e., Businesses or other colloquial names for a location):(e.g., ‘Bedford County Animal Shelter’)Parcels - RPC:(e.g., ‘80500241’)Parcels - PIN:(e.g., ‘214 A 197 T’)Parcels - Owner(e.g., ‘COUNTY OF BEDFORD VIRGINIA’, ‘[LAST NAME] [FIRST NAME]’)Subdivisions:(e.g., ‘LAKEPOINTE’)Populated Places:(e.g., ‘Bedford’, ‘Forest’) The service can be consumed in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, or other GIS applications.Data is mostly limited to within Bedford County, Virginia, but some common places and populated places in close vicinity to the administrative boundary are still included.Underlying data is updated regularly, typically weekly, by Bedford County GIS staff.

The Building layer is a spatial representation of all addressable structures within Bedford County, VA, as well as many non-addressable structures. These non-addressable structures include barns, boat docks, out-buildings, storage buildings, etc. The source of this data is the combination of many intermittent updates conducted through the Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP). The most recent update came from Orthophotography collected from VBMP's 2022 flight year.The original dataset was based on 1992 B/W orthophotography at 200" and 400" scales. In 2009, Bedford County contracted with Sanborn Map Company, Inc. to develop planimetric data based on the 2007 photography. The dataset was once again updated in 2018 and 2022 through the VBMP.GIS Staff is in the continual process of attributing building features with the name of the structure (e.g., church name, business name, etc.). This attribute information is valuable as a Landmark feature for Dispatchers in the PSAP, to show common, well-known structures and places within the County.
