This parcels dataset is a spatial representation of tax lots for Essex County, New Jersey that have been extracted from the NJ statewide parcels composite by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). Parcels at county boundaries have been modified to correspond with the NJ county boundaries and the parcels in adjacent counties.Each parcel contains a field named PAMS_PIN based on a concatenation of the county/municipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code. Using the PAMS_PIN, the dataset can be joined to the MOD-IV database table that contains supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics. Due to irregularities in the data development process, duplicate PAMS_PIN values exist in the parcel records. Users should avoid joining MOD-IV database table records to all parcel records with duplicate PAMS_PINs because of uncertainty regarding whether the MOD-IV records will join to the correct parcel records. There are also parcel records with unique PAMS_PIN values for which there are no corresponding records in the MOD-IV database tables. This is mostly due to the way data are organized in the MOD-IV database.The polygons delineated in the dataset do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership. Parcels are not survey data and should not be used as such.The MOD-IV system provides for uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records and produces all statutorily required tax lists for property tax bills. This list accounts for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official tax map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel. Tax List records were received as raw data from the Taxation Team of NJOIT which collected source information from municipal tax assessors and created the statewide table. This table was subsequently processed for ease of use with NJ tax parcel spatial data and split into an individual table for each county.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

Statewide Download (FGDB) (SHP)Users can also download smaller geographic areas of this feature service in ArcGIS Pro using the Copy Features geoprocessing tool. The address service contains statewide address points and related landmark name alias table and street name alias table.The New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS), in partnership with several local GIS and public safety agencies, has built a comprehensive statewide NG9-1-1 database meeting and exceeding the requirements of the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) 2018 NG9-1-1 GIS Data Standard (NENA-STA-006.1-2018). The existing New Jersey Statewide Address Point data last published in 2016 has been transformed in the NENA data model to create this new address point data.The initial address points were processed from statewide parcel records joined with the statewide Tax Assessor's (MOD-IV) database in 2015. Address points supplied by Monmouth County, Sussex County, Morris County and Montgomery Township in Somerset County were incorporated into the statewide address points using customized Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) procedures.The previous version of the address points was loaded into New Jersey's version of the NENA NG9-1-1 data model using Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) procedures created with Esri's Data Interoperability Extension. Subsequent manual and bulk processing corrections and additions have been made, and are ongoing.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

Three classes of impervious surfaces--buildings, roads, and other impervious--were mapped for New Jersey through a semi-automated process developed using eCognition software. The automated feature extraction workflow used a Geographic Object-Oriented Image Analysis (GEOBIA) framework to extract the three impervious classes from the source datasets which include digital imagery, LiDAR point clouds and several vector data sets including Land use/land cover, road centerlines and hydrographic features, using a rule-based expert system.

The NJDOT County Map Series provides a comprehensive and detailed view of the area, designed to assist residents and visitors alike. It features an extensive network of roads, including major highways such as Interstate 95 and the Garden State Parkway, as well as local roads for easier navigation. Transportation hubs like airports and railways are clearly marked, facilitating travel within and beyond the county. The map delineates county and municipal boundaries, helping users understand jurisdictional areas. Open spaces, such as state and county parks and nature reserves, are highlighted to showcase recreational opportunities. Waterways, including the Delaware River and various lakes and reservoirs, are prominently displayed. Local place names, including towns, cities, and neighborhoods, are indicated for easy location identification. Additionally, the map includes key institutions like colleges, universities, and hospitals, along with cultural features such as historical sites, museums, and landmarks. A legend and scale are provided for clarity, and inset maps offer detailed views of specific areas. This map is an invaluable tool for navigation, planning, and discovering the rich resources and attractions within the county.

Each natural waterfall in the state that was known to the NJGWS with a rise over run of approximately four feet to one foot of elevation or an approximate 75 % slope was visited and surveyed. The survey included getting the physical location of each waterfall, measuring the height of each waterfall and identifying the type of waterfall. There were far too many small waterfalls under four feet to locate and measure statewide, so these were not included in our survey of the state’s waterfalls. However, there were a few exceptions to this methodology. Three waterfalls were surveyed not adhering to the greater than four feet by one foot minimum threshold for inclusion into this report. These exceptions included a waterfall surveyed just under four feet at 3.79 feet. It was included since it was in a grouping of numerous other larger waterfalls on Dunnfield Creek in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Also included in this report was the Falls at Trenton, or Trenton Falls, as is commonly known. It had less than a two-foot drop at the time it was measured by the NJGWS but has historical importance. The city of Trenton owes its existence to these “small falls”. A third exception is one of three falls at Little Falls in Essex County, which has a drop of approximately two feet when it was measured. Please note that the majority of these waterfalls are on public land, however a few are on private property. Please do not visit these sites without proper landowner permission.
