Polling place locations. Locations were initially collected in 2006 using a GPS unit based on information provided by Dauphin County Elections and Voter Registration. The dataset is updated as needed using aerial imagery, streets and address point data.

Reference dataset showing the political boundaries of the municipal subdivisions in Dauphin County. Most likely derived from a PennDOT dataset in the early 1990s and updated as needed with the concurrence of the impacted municipalities.

A table of alternate street names to be used with the Dauphin County street data.

The voter district boundary dataset was created using boundary description prior to May 2006. The dataset is updated when boundary changes are approved by the courts.

This data product has a county-wide coverage and is intended to provide a useful representation of the geometry and topology of tax parcel dimension lines. The maps were derived from a variety of source documents including certified survey maps, deed descriptions, subdivision plans, and condominium plats. This product is intended for graphical representation.

This feature class was compiled using several datasets that had been previously been maintained by the Dauphin County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and referencing 2003 PAMAP aerial photography. The existing datasets were combined into a single dataset which was then updated to include all the buildings 100 sq ft or larger that were visible on the aerial imagery. The featue class is edited on a case-by-case basis, based on the collection of new building information submitted by EMA or Dauphin County IT or through examination of updated aerial imagery.

The Pennsylvania Flood Risk Tool is an interactive web map application developed by Penn State University with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This application depicts 1% annual chance floodplain boundaries in an online map environment. https://pafloodrisk.psu.edu/home/index.html

Shows zoning for the city according to the Zoning Code adopted in 2014. This data was created by the Harrisburg Planning Bureau. This is the primary data used in the City Zoning Map and the Zoning Web Application which is posted on the website. Source data comes from the Dauphin County Parcels data.

Table providing descriptive information about the coded values for the taxing district. Several of the tables provided by tax assessment include a py_tax_code field that is used to reference the taxing district or municipality. This information can be used to find the current millage rates.

The Dauphin County, PA 2016 QL2 LiDAR 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 1.2. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD83 (2011) State Plane Pennsylvania South Zone, US survey feet; NAVD1988 (Geoid 12B), US survey feet. LiDAR data was delivered in RAW flight line swath format, processed to create Classified LAS 1.4 Files formatted to 711 individual 5,000-foot x 5,000-foot tiles. Tile names use the following naming schema: "YYYYXXXXPAd" where YYYY is the first 3 characters of the tile's upper left corner Y-coordinate, XXXX - the first 4 characters of the tile's upper left corner X-coordinate, PA = Pennsylvania, and d = 'N' for North or 'S' for South. Corresponding 2.5-foot gridded hydro-flattened bare earth raster tiled DEM files and intensity image files were created using the same 5,000-foot x 5,000-foot schema. Hydro-flattened breaklines were produced in Esri file geodatabase format. Continuous 2-foot contours were produced in Esri file geodatabase format. Ground Conditions: LiDAR collection began in Spring 2016, 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 84 control points (24 calibration control points and 60 QC checkpoints). These were used to calibrate the LIDAR to known ground locations established throughout the project area.

Park and playground boundaries. Created using data from the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, municipal websites, tax parcels, and aerial imagery.

The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) Public Viewer enables the user to view NPMS pipeline, liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant and breakout tank data one county at a time, including attributes and pipeline operator contact information. The user can also view gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipeline accidents and incidents going back to 2002 for the entire US. NPMS pipeline data consists of gas transmission pipelines and hazardous liquid pipelines jurisdictional to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). It does not contain gas gathering or distribution pipelines, such as lines which deliver gas to a customer 's home. Therefore, not all pipelines in an area will be visible in the Public Viewer. As well, the breakout tank data is not complete as submission of that data is not a requirement. All NPMS data is for reference purposes only. It should never be used as a substitute for contacting a one-call center prior to excavation activities. Please call 811 before any digging occurs.
