This service provides vector polygon dataset defining the official boundaries of the 100 counties within North Carolina as well as the boundaries between North Carolina and the states which border North Carolina.The North Carolina county polygon boundary service provides location information for North Carolina State and County Boundary lines derived from the best available survey and/or Geographic Information System (GIS) data. Sources for information are the North Carolina Geodetic Survey (NCGS), NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT), United States Geological Survey (USGS), and field surveys conducted by licensed surveyors in North Carolina and neighboring states that have been approved and recorded in their respective counties. Some boundaries cannot be surveyed in cases where boundaries are coincident with river centers. North Carolina Geodetic Survey assists counties on a cooperative basis (NC General Statute 153A-18) in defining and monumenting the location of uncertain or disputed boundaries as established by law. Some counties have completed boundary surveys for at least a portion of their county boundary. However, the majority of county boundaries have not been surveyed and are represented by the best currently available data from GIS sources, including NCDOT county maps (which originally came from the USGS) and updated county parcel maps.This data is updated annually, first quarter (usually in February).MetadataThe metadata for the contained layer of the NCDOT County Boundaries Service is available through the following link:County Boundaries PolygonPoint of Contact North Carolina Department of Information Technology -Transportation, GIS UnitGIS Data and Services ConsultantContact information:gishelp@ncdot.govCentury Center – Building B1020 Birch Ridge DriveRaleigh, NC 27610Hours of service: 9:00am - 5:00pm Monday – FridayContact instructions: Please send an email with any issues, questions, or comments regarding the County Boundaries data.

Northeastern United States County Boundary data are intended for geographic display of state and county boundaries at statewide and regional levels. Use it to map and label counties on a map. These data are derived from Northeastern United States Political Boundary Master layer. This information should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:24,000-scale data. The State of Connecticut, Department of Environmental Protection (CTDEP) assembled this regional data layer using data from other states in order to create a single, seamless representation of political boundaries within the vicinity of Connecticut that could be easily incorporated into mapping applications as background information. More accurate and up-to-date information may be available from individual State government Geographic Information System (GIS) offices. Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet.)

The Montgomery County Map Book consists of multiple maps organized into a user-friendly format. Key components of the map book include:Map Index: Divides the county into equal-sized key map grids, each assigned a unique identifier. Each key map grid contains a subgrid further divided into 24 square grids, lettered for easy reference.Transportation Lines: Each map includes transportation lines such as roads (sourced from the Montgomery County Emergency Communications District - MCECD), railroads (from the Texas Department of Transportation - TxDOT), waterlines (from the United States Geological Survey - USGS), and national forest boundaries (from the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture - USDA).Municipal Boundaries: Displays municipal boundaries sourced from the Montgomery Central Appraisal District (MCAD), providing context for local governance and jurisdictional boundaries.Common Places: Includes various points of interest and common places within Montgomery County, ranging from public/government facilities (e.g., post offices, law enforcement, fire departments, schools) to private/commercial locations (e.g., assisted living facilities, banks, golf courses, parks).Each key map within the map book is letter-sized (8.5x11 inches) and shares a consistent map scale of 1 inch equals 2,800 feet. The map book is designed to facilitate navigation and spatial analysis, with clear indications of key map numbers and adjacent key maps for reference.Data Sources:Transportation Lines: Montgomery County Emergency Communications District (MCECD), Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), United States Geological Survey (USGS)Municipal Boundaries: Montgomery Central Appraisal District (MCAD)Common Places: Montgomery County GIS DepartmentAccess Requirements: Access to the Montgomery County Map Book is open to the public and stakeholders interested in county geography and spatial information.

Purpose

County boundaries along with third party identifiers used to join in external data. Boundaries are from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). These boundaries are the best available statewide data source in that CDTFA receives changes in incorporation and boundary lines from the Board of Equalization, who receives them from local jurisdictions for tax purposes. Boundary accuracy is not guaranteed, and though CDTFA works to align boundaries based on historical records and local changes, errors will exist. If you require a legal assessment of boundary location, contact a licensed surveyor.

This dataset joins in multiple attributes and identifiers from the US Census Bureau and Board on Geographic Names to facilitate adding additional third party data sources. In addition, we attach attributes of our own to ease and reduce common processing needs and questions. Finally, coastal buffers are separated into separate polygons, leaving the land-based portions of jurisdictions and coastal buffers in adjacent polygons. This layer removes the coastal buffer polygons. This feature layer is for public use.

Field and Abbreviation Definitions

• CDTFA_COUNTY: CDTFA county name. For counties, this will be the name of the polygon itself. For cities, it is the name of the county the city polygon is within.
• CDTFA_COPRI: county number followed by the 3-digit city primary number used in the Board of Equalization"s 6-digit tax rate area numbering system. The boundary data originate with CDTFA's teams managing tax rate information, so this field is preserved and flows into this dataset.
• CENSUS_GEOID: numeric geographic identifiers from the US Census Bureau
• CENSUS_PLACE_TYPE: City, County, or Town, stripped off the census name for identification purpose.
• GNIS_PLACE_NAME: Board on Geographic Names authorized nomenclature for area names published in the Geographic Name Information System
• GNIS_ID: The numeric identifier from the Board on Geographic Names that can be used to join these boundaries to other datasets utilizing this identifier.
• CDT_COUNTY_ABBR: Abbreviations of county names - originally derived from CalTrans Division of Local Assistance and now managed by CDT. Abbreviations are 3 characters.
• CDT_NAME_SHORT: The name of the jurisdiction (city or county) with the word "City" or "County" stripped off the end. Some changes may come to how we process this value to make it more consistent.
• AREA_SQMI: The area of the administrative unit (city or county) in square miles, calculated in EPSG 3310 California Teale Albers.
• OFFSHORE: Indicates if the polygon is a coastal buffer. Null for land polygons. Additional values include "ocean" and "bay".
• PRIMARY_DOMAIN: Currently empty/null for all records. Placeholder field for official URL of the city or county
• CENSUS_POPULATION: Currently null for all records. In the future, it will include the most recent US Census population estimate for the jurisdiction.
• GlobalID: While all of the layers we provide in this dataset include a GlobalID field with unique values, we do not recommend you make any use of it. The GlobalID field exists to support offline sync, but is not persistent, so data keyed to it will be orphaned at our next update. Use one of the other persistent identifiers, such as GNIS_ID or GEOID instead.

January 2023 - Census population data were downloaded for 2020 and appended to the county dataset. Population fields were re-ordered and named for consistency.April 2013 - Census data were downloaded for 2010 and appended to the county coverage. Upon further review by the ND GIS Technical Meeting at their April 2013 meeting, it was decided that the demographic data included with the previous county feature class would be dropped, leaving only basic information with the necessary relational fields intact for joining of Census data tables and other related North Dakota data.The North Dakota county coverage was originally created by the North Dakota Geological Survey using US Census Bureau TIGER data in 1994. The source scale on these data was 1:100,000. Since its creation, with USGS Public Land Survey DLG data, and USGS DRG derived data. The North Dakota State Water Commission revamped this coverage by using the NDGS PLSS coverage (combination of ND PSC, USGS DLG and DRG 24k data) to obtain county boundaries that coincided with PLSS linework, and heads-up digitized irregular boundaries such as that on the State borders, and those that followed river/stream boundaries with USGS 1:24,000 scale Digital Raster Graphics. The resultant coverage should be much better than a 1:100,000 scale coverage, but may not meet 1:24,000 scale accuracy standards.

This dataset contains shapefile boundaries for CA State, counties and places from the US Census Bureau's 2023 MAF/TIGER database. Current geography in the 2023 TIGER/Line Shapefiles generally reflects the boundaries of governmental units in effect as of January 1, 2023.
