The global road network traverses some 22.6 million miles (36.4 million kilometers). Placed end-to-end, the world's roads would stretch nearly a quarter of the way to the sun. This layer combines the gROADS v1 (1980-2010) data with Esri's World Roads data to present a generalized picture of the global road network.

Feature layer generated from running the Dissolve Boundaries solution.This layer is part of a map that shows vegetation in Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. Bowerman Basin, where Grays Harbor is located, is home to unique habitat types that provide sustenance for a diversity of birds that occupy and come through the Refuge. Grays Harbor provides a unique set of diverse ecosystem that attracts different kinds of birds.This map is part of the storymap, An Incredible Journey. Every year in early May, a tranquil little dot on the Washington coastline transforms into a high-traffic north-south shorebird highway known as the Pacific Flyway. From long-distance fliers to birds that prefer a more scenic route, they all stop there because it has all the amenities that a hungry and tired bird could want. So, where is this place? It’s Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge, and it’s nature’s version of Grand Central Station.

This nowCOAST™ time-enabled map service provides maps depicting the geographic coverage of the latest NOAA/National Weather Service (NWS) WATCHES, WARNINGS, ADVISORIES, and STATEMENTS for long-duration hazardous weather, marine weather, hydrological, oceanographic, wildfire, air quality, and ecological conditions which may or are presently affecting inland, coastal, and maritime areas. A few examples include Gale Watch, Gale Warning, High Surf Advisory, High Wind Watch, Areal Flood Warning, Coastal Flood Watch, Winter Storm Warning, Wind Chill Advisory, Frost Advisory, Tropical Storm Watch, Red Flag Warning, Air Stagnation Warning, and Beach Hazards Statement. (A complete list is given in the Background Information section below.) The coverage areas of these products are usually defined by county or sub-county boundaries. The colors used to identify the different watches, advisories, warnings, and statements are the same colors used by the NWS on their map at weather.gov. The NWS products for long-duration hazardous conditions are updated in the nowCOAST map service approximately every 10 minutes. For more detailed information about the update schedule, please see: http://new.nowcoast.noaa.gov/help/#section=updateschedule. The coverage areas of these products are usually defined by county or sub-county boundaries, but for simplicity and performance reasons, adjacent WWAs of the same type, issuance, and expiration are depicted in this service as unified (merged/dissolved) polygons in the layers indicated with the suffix "(Dissolved Polygons)". However, a set of equivalent layers containing the original individual zone geometries are also included for querying purposes, and are indicated with the suffix "(Zone Polygons)". Corresponding zone polygon and dissolved polygon layers are matched together in group layers for each WWA category. The zone polygon layers are included in this service only to support query/identify operations (e.g., in order to retrieve the original zone geometry or other attributes such as a URL to the warning text bulletin) and thus will not be drawn when included in a normal map image request. Thus, the dissolved polygon layers should be used when requesting a map image (e.g. WMS GetMap or ArcGIS REST export operations), while the zone polygon layers should be used when performing a query (e.g. WMS GetFeatureInfo or ArcGIS REST query or identify operations). The colors used to identify the different watches, advisories, warnings, and statements are the same colors used by the NWS on their map at http://www.weather.gov. The NWS products for long-duration hazardous conditions are updated in the nowCOAST™ map service approximately every 10 minutes. For more detailed information about layer update frequency and timing, please reference the nowCOAST™ Dataset Update Schedule. Background Information NWS watches depict the geographic areas where the risk of hazardous weather or hydrologic events has increased significantly, but their occurrence, location, and/or timing is still uncertain. A warning depicts where a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, is imminent, or has a very high probability of occurring. A warning is used for conditions posing a threat to life or property. Advisories indicate where special weather conditions are occurring, imminent, or have a very high probability of occurring but are less serious than a warning. They are for events that may cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life and/or property. Statements usually contain updated information on a warning and are used to let the public know when a warning is no longer in effect. NWS issues over 75 different types of watches, warnings, and advisories (WWAs). WWAs are issued by the NWS regional Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) and also the NWS Ocean Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center, Central Pacific Hurricane Center, and Storm Prediction Center. The NWS WWAs are organized on the nowCOAST™ map viewer and within this map service by hazardous condition/threat layer groups and then by the geographic area (i.e. coastal & inland, immediate coast or maritime) for which the WWA product is targeted. This was done to allow users to select WWAs for hazardous conditions that are important to their operations or activities. Please note that the Tropical Storm and Hurricane Warnings are provided in both the High Wind Hazards: Maritime Areas and Coastal & Inland Areas layer groups and the Flooding Hazards: Coastal Areas layer group. These warnings are included in the Flooding Hazards/Coastal Areas layer group because the NWS uses those warnings to inform the public that tropical storm or hurricane winds may be accompanied by significant coastal flooding but below the thresholds required for the issuance of a storm surge warning. In addition, a tropical storm or hurricane warning may remain in effect when dangerously high water or a combination of dangerously high water and waves continue, even though the winds may be less than hurricane or tropical storm force. The NWS does not issue a Coastal Flood Warning or Advisory when a tropical storm or hurricane warning is in effect; however that does not mean that there is not a significant coastal flooding threat.

Time Information This map service is time-enabled, meaning that each individual layer contains time-varying data and can be utilized by clients capable of making map requests that include a time component. In addition to ArcGIS Server REST access, time-enabled OGC WMS 1.3.0 access is also provided by this service. This particular service can be queried with or without the use of a time component. If the time parameter is specified in a request, the data or imagery most relevant to the provided time value, if any, will be returned. If the time parameter is not specified in a request, the latest data or imagery valid for the present system time will be returned to the client. If the time parameter is not specified and no data or imagery is available for the present time, no data will be returned. This service is configured with time coverage support, meaning that the service will always return the most relevant available data, if any, to the specified time value. For example, if the service contains data valid today at 12:00 and 12:10 UTC, but a map request specifies a time value of today at 12:07 UTC, the data valid at 12:10 UTC will be returned to the user. This behavior allows more flexibility for users, especially when displaying multiple time-enabled layers together despite slight differences in temporal resolution or update frequency. When interacting with this time-enabled service, only a single instantaneous time value should be specified in each request. If instead a time range is specified in a request (i.e. separate start time and end time values are given), the data returned may be different than what was intended. Care must be taken to ensure the time value specified in each request falls within the current time coverage of the service. Because this service is frequently updated as new data becomes available, the user must periodically determine the service's time extent. However, due to software limitations, the time extent of the service and

An updated Permit Data Model that includes relationships between the component feature classes. The Dissolved Use Impacts (SDOT.V_SU_PERMIT_USE_IMPACT_DISS) feature class is derived from dissolving the Use Impacts (SDOT.V_SU_PERMIT_USE_IMPACTS) feature class by Permit Number. The Impacts feature class is the Use Impact street line segments that are associated with any give Permit point (V_SU_PERMITS). The relationships connect the Permit points to the Dissolved Use Impacts and then the Dissolved Use Impacts to the component Use Impacts. This data model allows you to see all impacted street line segments associated with any given Permit easily, while also being able to drill down to any specific Use Impact for a given Permit. Service is constructed for use in the Right of Way Map. Data set to Nightly Refresh. Any Questions or Concerns contact the SDOT Street Use Data and GIS Team: Craig Moore/Bryan Bommersbach

This data set represents the 2025 deer hunt area, herd unit, and regions boundaries for Wyoming. The layer was originally digitized at a scale of 1:100,000, using USGS 1:100,000 DRGs as a backdrop for heads up digitizing. Updates requested by Wyoming Game and Fish Biological Services were completed by selecting needed features from other layers, including roads, streams, HUCs, NAIP 2009 rasters and others. Hunt area boundary descriptions are part of hunting regulations, which are approved and published annually by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission. When needed, the 2008 edition (1st Edition) of the Wyoming Road and Recreation Atlas (Benchmark Maps) was consulted for road and other information.NOTE: A layer of herd units is derived from this hunt area layer by dissolving on the "MD_HERDUNIT" or ""WD_HERDUNIT" and "MD_HERDNAME" or ""WD_HERDNAME" attributes (Dissolve_Fields), and unchecking the box "Create multipart features (optional)".

The California Association Local Agency Formation Commissions defines a sphere of influence (SOI) as "a planning boundary outside of an agency’s legal boundary (such as the city limit line) that designates the agency’s probable future boundary and service area." This feature set represents the SOIs of the incorporated jurisdictions for the San Francisco Bay Region.The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) updated the feature set in late 2019 as part of the jurisdiction review process for the BASIS data gathering project. Changes were made to the growth boundaries of the following jurisdictions based on BASIS feedback and associated work: Antioch, Brentwood, Campbell, Daly City, Dublin, Fremont, Hayward, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Newark, Oakland, Oakley, Pacifica, Petaluma, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, San Bruno, San Francisco (added to reflect other jurisdictions whose SOI is the same as their jurisdiction boundary), San Jose, San Leandro, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale.Notes: With the exception of San Mateo and Solano Counties, counties included jurisdiction (city/town) areas as part of their SOI boundary data. San Mateo County and Solano County only provided polygons representing the SOI areas outside the jurisdiction areas. To create a consistent, regional feature set, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) added the jurisdiction areas to the original, SOI-only features and dissolved the features by name.Because of differences in base data used by the counties and the MTC, edits were made to the San Mateo County and Solano County SOI features that should have been adjacent to their jurisdiction boundary so the dissolve function would create a minimum number of features.Original sphere of influence boundary acquisitions:Alameda County - CityLimits_SOI.shp received as e-mail attachment from Alameda County Community Development Agency on 30 August 2019Contra Costa County - BND_LAFCO_Cities_SOI.zip downloaded from https://gis.cccounty.us/Downloads/Planning/ on 15 August 2019Marin County - 'Sphere of Influence - City' feature service data downloaded from Marin GeoHub on 15 August 2019Napa County - city_soi.zip downloaded from their GIS Data Catalog on 15 August 2019City and County of San Francisco - does not have a sphere of influenceSan Mateo County - 'Sphere of Influence' feature service data downloaded from San Mateo County GIS open data on 15 August 2019Santa Clara County - 'City Spheres of Influence' feature service data downloaded from Santa Clara County Planning Office GIS Data on 15 August 2019Solano County - SphereOfInfluence feature service data downloaded from Solano GeoHub on 15 August 2019Sonoma County - 'SoCo PRMD GIS Spheres Influence.zip' downloaded from County of Sonoma on 15 August 2019
