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.

Dauphin County Zoning layer created using municipality zoning maps. Zoning codes vary by municipality, thus the organization of zoning into a unified code provides a clear structure for comparison and analysis of density and land uses.

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.

Reference dataset showing railroads in Dauphin County. Most likely derived from a PennDOT dataset in the early 1990s and updated as needed.

The Sidewalk Inventory was created in 2018 by Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) to show both the presence and condition of sidewalks on Federal Aid roads within the Harrisburg Area Transportation Study's (HATS) MPO region. The three counties comprising the HATS region are Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry. Data was collected via aerial imagery from Goggle Maps and data input was done by staff at Harrisburg University. Sidewalk lines are represented by a single line through the center of the street. Fields within the attribute table present overall presence (sidewalk on one side of the street, sidewalk on both sides of the street, no sidewalk) and separate fields for sidewalk on either side of the street.

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 data layer depicts the boundaries of the Magisterial District Judge jurisdictions in Dauphin County.The Magisterial District Judge System in Pennsylvania was created under the 1968 Constitution. It is a system of minor court judges designed to hear cases involving traffic violations, minor criminal matters, disputes between landlords and tenants, and civil cases such as contract matters or injuries with damages claimed up to $12,000. The system also carries initial jurisdiction over all criminal cases, rendering decisions on the issuance of warrants, and finding sufficient justification to send misdemeanor and felony cases to the Courts of Common Pleas for further action. The Twelfth Judicial District is complemented with fifteen Magisterial District Judges, each covering a portion of the County of Dauphin.

Land uses and land cover for use in comprehensive plans, transportation plans, growth management initiatives, and determining the potential change to land and land use from various projects.This layer is a land use and land cover layer based on "A Land Use And Land Cover Classification System For Use With Remote Sensor Data" by James R. Anderson, Ernest E. Hardy, John T. Roach and Richard E. Witmer. It covers the Tri-County region, and uses: the ID categories set forth by Lancaster County's modified Anderson level 3 land use and land cover model, completed in 1999, the existing land use layers from each county, aerial photographs (from 2012, 2013, and 2014), hydrology, and forest block layers from each county. It features a minimum land area threshold size of 3 acres. ID Modified Anderson Level II Land use code 111 through 970. Valid codes are as follows: 111 Residential - less than 2 units per acre. 112 Residential - 2.1 to 7 units per acre (villages, neighborhoods, highway strip houses). 113 Residential - more than 7 units per acre (trailer parks, apartment buildings, condominiums, row homes). 114 Farmsteads - farmhouses, usually associated with and including, barns and outbuildings. (NOT including large, commercial-sized hog/chicken operations - #230). Agricultural production may or may not be active. 120 Commercial and services - Any apparent store, shop, mall, gas station or place of business where large-scale production is not occurring. 130 Industrial - Large buildings that may have production in process. 140 Transportation and utilities - Wide transportation corridors (including 4-lane divided highways), toll booth areas, highway departments, transmission stations, water towers/tanks, sewage treatment plants. 150 Industrial and commercial complexes - Large areas where there are many adjacent industrial plants and/or other businesses. Only used when unable to determine the exact use as either 120 or 130. 160 Mixed urban or built-up land - Densely developed land generally associated with urban centers. This category is often comprised of a mix of other developed land categories (i.e. 113, 120, 150, and 180) and is generally only used where development patterns are too complex to easily delineate separate developed land categories. For this project, this category will be rarely (if ever) used because the 300-scale photos appear to be sufficiently detailed to allow discrimination of separate categories. 170 Other: Areas whose land use does not fit into any particular category or can not be interpreted from the aerial photography. 180 Institutional - Schools, hospitals, or other institutional facilities. Churches and adjoining cemeteries. Stand-alone municipal buildings, including parking/storage areas for municipal equipment (i.e. snow plows). Also, stand-alone fire houses. Usually large buildings, surrounding access road with parking areas some landscaping, well-kept grounds. 190 Recreational - Active Recreation Parks (i.e. ball fields, playgrounds, tennis courts). Also campgrounds, golf courses, hunt clubs. 211 Agriculture: cropland 212 Agriculture: pasture 213 Agriculture: other unclassified agriculture land 220 Orchards/groves/vineyards/nurseries/other horticulture,Trees/plants forming grid or regular patterns. 230 Large Confined Feeding Operations - Usually associated with a farmstead (114) these are commercial-sized buildings housing hog or chicken operations. 240 Other agriculture 310 Herbaceous - Open, grassy areas with few tress or shrubs. Generally refers to ungrazed or uncontrolled grass land, but also includes very large lawns and large cemeteries not adjacent to a church. 320 Shrub/brush - Areas where shrubs, brush, and/or very small trees are present. 330 Mixed cover - Areas that are not forested but have a mixture of vegetation. 410 Deciduous forest. 420 Coniferous forest. 430 Mixed forest. 500 Open water (Hydrology polygons from ADR). 610 Forest Wetlands. 730 Sandy non-beach. 740 Rock outcrops 750 Mines/quarries/pits and junk yards/land fills. 760 Transitional (under construction). 770 Mixed barren and vegetated (basic disturbed class). 997 Islands less than minimum mapping unit size. 998 Any land within a tile that is not in an area where mapping is required.
