Geospatial data about Caroline County, Virginia Parcels. Export to CAD, GIS, PDF, CSV and access via API.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System (MTS). The MTS represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The All Roads shapefile includes all features within the MTS Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in the MTS that begins with "S". This includes all primary, secondary, local neighborhood, and rural roads, city streets, vehicular trails (4wd), ramps, service drives, alleys, parking lot roads, private roads for service vehicles (logging, oil fields, ranches, etc.), bike paths or trails, bridle/horse paths, walkways/pedestrian trails, and stairways.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national filewith no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent dataset, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The Area Hydrography Shapefile contains the geometry and attributes of both perennial and intermittent area hydrography features, including ponds, lakes, oceans, swamps (up to the U.S. nautical three-mile limit), glaciers, and the area covered by large rivers, streams, and/or canals that are represented as double-line drainage. Single-line drainage water features can be found in the Linear Hydrography Shapefile (LINEARWATER.shp). Linear water features includes single-line drainage water features and artificial path features, where they exist, that run through double-line drainage features such as rivers, streams, and/or canals, and serve as a linear representation of these features.

Geographic Extent: SANDY_Restoration_DE_MD_QL2 Area of Interest covers approximately 3.096 square miles. Lot #5 contains the full project area Dataset Description: The SANDY_Restoration_DE_MD_QL2 project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of LIDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base LIDAR Specification, Version 1. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of State Plane Zone Maryland (1900), NAD83, feet and vertical datum of NAVD1988 (GEOID12A), feet. LiDAR data was delivered in RAW flight line swath format, processed to create Classified LAS 1.2 Files formatted to 3842 individual 1500m x 1500m tiles, and corresponding Intensity Images and Bare Earth DEMs tiled to the same 1500m x 1500m schema, and Breaklines in ESRI shapefile format. Ground Conditions: LiDAR was collected in Winter 2013 / Spring 2014, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications, Quantum Spatial established a total of 78 QA control points and 99 Land Cover control points that were used to calibrate the LIDAR to known ground locations established throughout the SANDY_Restoration_DE_MD_QL2 project area.This is a MD iMAP hosted service.

Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Map Image Layer for accessing the Maryland Coast Smart - Climate Ready Action Boundary (CRAB) Inundated Zones data product.Maryland Coast Smart - Climate Ready Action Boundary (CRAB) Inundated Zones consists of polygon geometric features which represent the geographic areas throughout the State of Maryland that are impacted by CRAB inundation (0 to 1ft, 1 to 2ft, and 2ft or more).The Maryland Coast Smart - Climate Ready Action Boundary (CRAB) Inundated Zones data product was created using a GIS spatial analysis model, unique for each county in the State of Maryland. Coastal counties follow an analysis methodology that incorporates FEMA Stillwater wave action as it is understood from the FEMA identified VE zones. A Water Surface Elevation (WSE) and Still Water Elevation (SWEL) rasters are used as the baseline to identify existing water depths within each county. For all flood zones that are not classified as VE the WSE three feet was added to reflect a three-foot rise in the base flood elevations. For those WSEs falling within a FEMA floodplain identified V Zone, six feet was added (three feet for the increase in flood elevations for the CS-CRAB, and 3 feet to compensate for the minimum of 3 foot wave action typically mapped by FEMA) / wave heights greater than 3 feet were reduced to the 3 foot minimum for consistency across the shoreline. The newly calculated WSE plus three datasets were then converted to points and merged. Next, an Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) Interpolation was used to compute the proportional weighted values between the WSE point locations based on proximity. The DEM for each county is then subtracted from the new IDW raster in order to show precise water locations as they relate to the land elevation, producing a freeboard depth grid representing the depth of flood waters above the existing ground elevation given a 3 foot increase in water level. A course resolution QAQC was applied to remove “islands” of data associated with DEM inaccuracies and other elevation anomalies. The analysis was run at a1 ft x 1 ft raster resolution. The DEM accuracy for each county varies based what is currently available. Here the breakdown of DEM accuracy for each county used in this project: Anne Arundel County DEM year is 2017 and horizontal resolution is 1ft. Baltimore County DEM year is 2015 and horizontal resolution is 2.5ft. Baltimore City DEM year is 2015 and horizontal resolution is 0.7m. Calvert County DEM year is 2017 and horizontal resolution is 1ft. Caroline County DEM year is 2013 and horizontal resolution is 3.125ft. Cecil county DEM year is 2013 and horizontal resolution is 0.6m. Charles County DEM year is 2014 and horizontal resolution is 0.9m. Dorchester County DEM year is 2013 and horizontal resolution is 0.9m. Harford County DEM is 2013 and horizontal accuracy is 1.5m. Kent County DEM year is 2015 and horizontal resolution is 0.7m. Prince George’s County DEM year is 2014 and horizontal resolution is 0.7m. Queen Anne’s County DEM year is 2013 and horizontal resolution is 0.6m. Somerset County DEM year is 2012 and horizontal accuracy is 1m. St Mary’s County DEM year is 2014 and Horizontal accuracy is 0.9m. Talbot County DEM year is 2015 and Horizontal accuracy is 0.7m. Wicomico County DEM year is 2012 and horizontal accuracy is 1m.

State of Maryland municipality boundary dataset.Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) maps annexations from municipalities. This dataset is created and maintained by the Maryland Department of Planning. These boundaries are not intended to serve as a legal description. Fields:MUN_NAME (Municipality Name): Name of Municipality located in Maryland.RESOLUTION_NUMBER (Resolution Number): Local Municipality Annexation Resolution Number.ANNEXATION_DATE (Annexation Date) (DD/MM/YYYY): The Annexation Date field shows when there's been a change in the boundary. This date is known as the “Effective Date” from the municipality. The date 1/1/1997 is used as a default date of when annexation changes were first indicated in the GIS layer and not necessarily of when it was actually annexed. If there's a date of 1/1/1997, it can be assumed that the annexation occurred on this date or before. For example, for Baltimore City, the city boundary was determined hundreds of years ago. Other than that default date, the date will show when the property was annexed.

This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the conterminous United States. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and near shore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. By policy, the Service also excludes certain types of "farmed wetlands" as may be defined by the Food Security Act or that do not coincide with the Cowardin et al. definition. Contact the Service's Regional Wetland Coordinator for additional information on what types of farmed wetlands are included on wetland maps.This is a MD iMAP hosted service layer.
