This is a polygon data set representing parcels owned by the City of Boise as recorded in the Ada County, Boise County, or Canyon County parcel databases. The data for Ada County is derived from a periodic search of the Ada County Assessor’s parcel database for property that has ownership recorded as Boise City. Data for other counties is extracted when legal documents/deeds are received by Boise City GIS staff. The data is a snapshot of the City of Boise parcel ownership current to the last periodic update. The dataset is maintained by City of Boise GIS with input from the city’s departments to identify the department which owns or manages each parcel.

A floodplain is a low-lying area adjacent to a river, stream, or other water body that is prone to flooding during periods of high water flow. Floodplains are natural features of the landscape and are formed as a result of the gradual deposition of sediment carried by flowing water over time.

This is a polygon data set representing the current Boise City Police (BPD) areas. Police areas are the second to largest division of territorial boundaries used by law enforcement to deploy manpower, organize officers below their senior commanders, and to track reported crimes, accidents, and calls for service. Police areas are an aggregate of smaller jurisdictional boundaries called reporting districts.Boise City Police areas exist only within the Boise City limits. This data set was created by Boise City GIS; it was derived by aggregating groups of reporting districts as determined by the Boise Police Department. It is current to the date it was published.For more information, please visit Boise Police Department.

This is a polygon data set representing fire district service areas within Ada County, Idaho. Fire districts are the administrative boundaries that define the area that a fire department, or contracted agency, is charged to provide fire suppression services for. It aggregates fire tax code area boundaries for fire districts and incorporated municipalities, as appropriate for the fire agency, to depict the service areas (a.k.a. districts) for each fire department/agency in Ada County. A fire district that annexes an area in June is responsible to serve that area even though taxation is not assigned to those properties until January the next calendar year. This data set does not represent areas of service defined through other agreements such as automatic aid, mutual aid, or other contractual agreements. This data set is not to be used to identify the tax district boundaries for any fire district/agency. The Idaho State Tax Commission publishes the official tax code area boundaries for all taxing districts (counties, cities, schools, libraries, recreation districts, fire protection, ambulance, hospital, mosquito abatement, and others) once a year (typically in March or April). This data set is maintained by Boise City GIS and is update at least twice a year (January and July). The data set is current to the date it was published.

This is a polygon data set that depicts the current fire inspection areas for Boise City. The Boise City Fire Department Inspectors are responsible for a variety of fire related activities including verifying that new, existing, or alteration of existing buildings within the Boise Area of Impact conforms to the fire codes established by the State and Boise City. The Boise City Fire Department Battalion Chiefs are the first officers in command of the Fire Suppression Divisions. The Boise City Fire Department divides areas of responsibility geographically, using the fire inspection polygons to determine which inspectors are responsible for a particular geographic area. There are two inspectors per inspection area. The fire inspection area boundaries subdivide the Boise City Area of Impact and external boundaries of the North Ada County Fire and Rescue (NACFR) district as determined by Boise Fire Department officials. This data set is continually being updated. It is current to the date it was published. For more information please visit City of Boise Fire Department

This is a polygon data set representing the officially registered neighborhood associations for City of Boise within the city Area of Impact as identified in Chapter 3: Community Structure and Design of the Boise Blueprint - Boise's Comprehensive Plan. Neighborhood Associations are non-profit organizations primarily composed of land owners representing areas of Boise with a distinct ‘style’ or ‘character’ (unique: topography, architecture, history of development, goals) with rights to participate in and influence decisions effecting the development, growth, and maintenance of their defined areas; areas collectively identified as neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has a documented plan with the City of Boise and exists entirely within the current Boise area of impact. This data set was originally created by COMPASS, a regional planning agency for Ada and Canyon County. The data set is now maintained by the City of Boise GIS team. This data set is updated as changes occur and represents a snapshot of the current neighborhood association areas.For more information, please visit City of Boise Energize Our Neighborhoods.

The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a National Elevation Dataset (NED). The NED is a seamless mosaic of best-available elevation data. The 7.5-minute elevation data for the conterminous United States are the primary initial source data. In addition to the availability of complete 7.5-minute data, efficient processing methods were developed to filter production artifacts in the existing data, convert to the NAD83 datum, edge-match, and fill slivers of missing data at quadrangle seams. One of the effects of the NED processing steps is a much-improved base of elevation data for calculating slope and hydrologic derivatives. The specifications for the NED 1 arc second and 1/3 arc second data are: Geographic coordinate system Horizontal datum of NAD83, except for AK which is NAD27 Vertical datum of NAVD88, except for AK which is NAVD29 Z units of meters.Source data for this service are from the U.S. Geological Survey. These data were provided to the University of Idaho Library in November, 2004 by Mr. Tracy Fuller, USGS Idaho Mapping Liaison, Boise, Idaho.individual image tiles can be downloaded using the Idaho Elevation Explorer.These data can be bulk downloaded from a web accessible folder.

This maps shows City of Boise annexations since the original townsite was established in 1866 by the Idaho Territorial Legislature. Use the time-slider to watch the City grow over time. An annexation is the legal incorporation of a geographic area in to a political body. A de-annexation is the secession of a geographic area from a political body. De-annexed areas are areas that were once part of the incorporated boundaries of Boise City but have been removed from the incorporated boundaries (based on the ordinance tied to the de-annexation). The source of the data is the ordinances of annexation recorded by the Boise City Clerks' office. The map also depicts the current incorporated boundaries for cities within Ada County. The Ada County Assessor's Office maintains the city limits and impact areas datasets within Ada County. City boundaries are determined by taxcode and maintained continually, adding areas annexed to city limits by current ordinances. The impact areas dataset depicts the unincorporated areas of Ada County surrounding each city as identified in Title 9 of the Ada County Code, in accordance with Idaho Code Section 67-6526. This data is maintained by City of Boise GIS and is based on the legal descriptions contained in the ordinances. This data set is continually being updated as annexations occur. It is current to the date it was published.For more information, please contact the Ada County Assessor's Division of Land Records/GIS or the City of Boise Planning & Development Services division.

This is a point data set of 1/10thmilepost markers for trails along the Boise River from Lucky Peak Dam to the current terminus within the City of Eagle. The trails along the Boise River are generally referred to as ‘the greenbelt’. The milepost markers along the Boise River are collectively known as the Distance and Orientation Trail System (DOTS). Mileposts are a series of numbered markers placed along a route at regular intervals used as reference points. The DOTS divides the greenbelt trails into quadrants; north and south side of the Boise River, and east or west of the origin at the 8thStreet pedestrian bridge in Boise, Idaho. Milepost identification is comprised of the quadrant or sector (i.e. NW for northwest, SW for southwest, NE for northeast, and SE for southeast) and a mileage (in tenths of a mile). For example, NE 3.1, indicates the north side of the river, and east of the 8th Street pedestrian bridge by 3.1 miles. There are several known exceptions to this convention. The milepost origin for the north and south trail origins are simply delineated by ‘N’ and ‘S’. Also, several mileposts are marked with a ‘W’ for West where the north and south trails converge . Mileage numbers increase as you move east and west from the 8thStreet pedestrian bridge. Milepost markers are not always physically marked on the ground. This data set shows mileposts along the trail centerline and is not meant to represent the physical demarcation of the mileposts. Physical markers, if they exist, will be relatively nearby the point defined in this data set.This data set was created by Boise City GIS in cooperation with Boise State University based off of GPS data and heads up digitizing against available GIS trail and orthophotography data. The data has been reviewed by parks, police, and fire staff from several local agencies in Ada County. The data is believed to be generally accurate. This data set is updated irregularly as new GPS data is collected or as changes to the trail system in different jurisdictions occur. The data set is current to the last date of publication.

This is a polygon data set representing the current Boise City Police (BPD) reporting districts. Police reporting districts are the smallest division of territorial boundaries used by law enforcement to deploy manpower, organize officers below their senior commanders, and to track reported crimes, accidents, and calls for service. Reporting districts typically encompass a few square blocks. Boise City Police reporting districts exist only within the Boise City limits. The outer boundary of the reporting districts are coincident with the Boise City limit boundaries. This data set was created by Boise City GIS based on boundaries determined by the Boise Police Department and Ada County Sheriffs Office. It is current to the date it was published.For more information, please visit Boise Police Department.

This project aims to understand how the error in mapped fault location and the residual between the modeled and observed coseismic displacements vary with tectonic landform and the surficial lithologic age. We focus on four historical earthquakes: the M6.9 Borah Peak, 2014 M6.0 Napa, 2016 M7.0 Kumamoto, and 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura earthquakes.

The GIS shape file contains information about the tectonic landform, the surficial landscape age, the observed and modelled coseismic displacement, fault location error, and the confidence ranking of the mapped fault trace. Each entry corresponds to a location where a displacement measurement was made following the earthquake of focus. Additional detail is given in the readme.

The entries in the GIS file are collected from the following references:
