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 Boundary between Bedford County and Bedford City was changed in July, 2013 by County GIS staff, after the reversion of Bedford City to Town status, and again in 2023 following phase II of Reversion. GIS Staff made these changes based on parcel data being exchanged from the County to the Town of Bedford per Reversion agreement. Bedford GIS Team is responsible for maintaining the data. This layer is expected to be maintained indefinitely.

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.
