The extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) is a legally designated area of land located a specific distance beyond a city’s corporate boundaries that a city has authority to annex. Chapter 42 of the Texas Local Government Code defines the size of the extraterritorial boundaries according to a city’s population. The statutes allow a five mile ETJ for cities in excess of 100,000 in population. Fort Worth’s population exceeds 100,000 persons, therefore it has a five-mile ETJ. Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) is an area outside the city limits where cities can regulate some activities through agreements with the county. For more about the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, please visit Fort Worth Development Services' page on the topic.This data is updated regularly by the Development Services Department to reflect changes from new annexations.

City limits represent the corporate boundary for the City of Fort Worth. The initial boundaries were set in the city's charter and have regularly expanded through a series of ordinances in a process called Annexation. This data is managed by Fort Worth's Development Services department and is updated regularly as new annexations are completed. For more about Annexation, see Development Services' Annexation Program page. Annexed areas fall into two categories: full purpose and limited purpose. This data includes polygons marked with a designation of either full purpose or limited purpose. Per Chapter 24 of the comprehensive plan:Full-purpose annexation includes an area into Fort Worth and provides full municipal services including emergency response, public facilities, and maintenance of roadways and stormwater/drainage services. The city enforces all ordinances and assesses property taxes as well as sales taxes. Limited-purpose annexation: Fort Worth enforces planning, zoning, and health and safety ordinances. The property owners do not pay City property taxes, and the City does not provide police or fire protection, roadway maintenance, or other services. Residents can vote in City Council and charter elections, but not bond elections, and cannot run for office. The City must annex an area for full purposes within three years after limited- purpose annexation, unless a majority of the affected landowners and the City agree to extend the deadline

Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) are defined geographical areas established to provide specific types of improvements or maintenance, which are financed by assessments against the property owners within the area. PIDs provide the city with a development tool that allocates costs according to the benefits received. A PID can provide funding for supplemental services and improvements that meet the needs of the community, that could not otherwise be constructed or provided.Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code authorizes the creation of PIDs by cities. The owners of the properties in the defined PID area can request the City to form a PID through a petition, which may include the establishment of an Advisory Body. Once an Advisory Body is established, the property owners within the PID have control over the types of improvements, level of maintenance, and amount of assessments to be levied against the property owners. For more about Public Improvement Districts, see Economic Development's page on the PID program.This data depicts the boundaries of all active PIDs within the City of Fort Worth. This data is maintained by the Economic Development Department and is updated as new districts are approved.

Citizens of Fort Worth are represented in their city government by the City Council. At present, the Council consists of the Mayor and ten (10) Council Members. The Mayor and Council Members are elected in elections every two (2) years. Council Members are elected by residents of their respective Council District. As the City Council also includes the Mayor, the Council Districts are numbered two (2) through eleven (11).This data represents the boundaries of each Council District. Minor updates are performed regularly by Fort Worth's Development Services Department to accommodate annexations. Following the US Census each decade, the boundaries of the districts are fully redesigned in the redistricting process to better represent population changes. Redistricting was most recently completed in 2022.To find out more about the Council Districts and Council Members, please see the City's website.

The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States. The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces. Within these provinces, Total Petroleum Systems are defined and Assessment Units are defined and assessed. Each of province is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes. This dataset is a compilation of data that has been studied and published separately, and in some cases adjacent provinces do not share a common boundary. As a consequence, there are numerous gaps and overlaps in this layer.

The PALEOMAP project produces paleogreographic maps illustrating the Earth's plate tectonic, paleogeographic, climatic, oceanographic and biogeographic development from the Precambrian to the Modern World and beyond.

A series of digital data sets has been produced consisting of plate tectonic data, climatically sensitive lithofacies, and biogeographic data. Software has been devloped to plot maps using the PALEOMAP plate tectonic model and digital geographic data sets: PGIS/Mac, Plate Tracker for Windows 95, Paleocontinental Mapper and Editor (PCME), Earth System History GIS (ESH-GIS), PaleoGIS(uses ArcView), and PALEOMAPPER.

Teaching materials for educators including atlases, slide sets, VHS animations, JPEG images and CD-ROM digital images.

Some PALEOMAP products include: Plate Tectonic Computer Animation (VHS) illustrating motions of the continents during the last 850 million years.
