City of Cumming administrative boundary derived from Forsyth County Tax Parcel feature class, updated as new annexations occur

This dataset was created to inventory Forsyth County's wastewater infrastructure. The data has been created by digitizing as-built drawings and CAD files in conjunction with orthophotography. Some data has been field verified with mapping grade GPS and survey grade GPS. Other uses include mapping and modeling.Two sub-layers for public consumption (FCWS & Private/Other).

Road segments representing centerlines of all roadways or carriageways in a local government. Typically, this information is compiled from orthoimagery or other aerial photography sources. This representation of the road centerlines support address geocoding and mapping. It also serves as a source for public works and other agencies that are responsible for the active management of the road network.

Cemeteries represent the location of a cemetery in Forsyth County. This includes cemeteries at churches, family plots, and cemeteries discovered during the course of land development.

This layer contains boundary polygons depicting the State of Georgia's Senate Districts as adopted by the Georgia General Assembly in 2022. This layer was built using Census 2020 Tiger geography and demographic data. The geographic extent of this layer is the State of Georgia.

In the 1800's a survey of Georgia divided much of the state into its present grid system of "land lots" and "districts." In addition, portions of the state use special areas known as "sections," "headrights," and "Georgia Militia Districts." These land area measures are the topics of discussion in the following sections. The districts are generally square areas of land and do not necessarily correspond with county boundary lines. Each district consists of smaller square grids of land known as land lots which vary in size from as small as 40 acres in the northern portion of the state to as large as 490 acres in the central and southern portions. The 40 acre land lots were purposely made smaller for the gold lotteries in the 1830's. Legal descriptions of property located in those areas of the state so divided must include the land lot number and district number. In some areas of the state legal descriptions may use other land divisions in pinpointing the exact location of the property being described.

River and Stream lines that represent flowlines and cartographic features such as stream centerlines and river banks.Original data was extracted using Linear hydrographic features, including rivers, streams, and artificial flow paths through waterbodies. Data were captured from USGS 7.5 minute mylar separates containing the "blue-layer" from the U.S. Geological Survey's 1:24000-scale quadrangle maps.Waterlines features updated in 2019 using Arc Hydro extension for ArcGIS Pro and 2018 Digital Elevation Model

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. States and equivalent entities are the primary governmental divisions of the United States. In addition to the fifty States, the Census Bureau treats the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and each of the Island Areas (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) as the statistical equivalents of States for the purpose of data presentation.Data and schema are from the Atlanta Regional Commission open data portal.https://arc-garc.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/georgia-state-boundary

This layer deliniates Community Character areas as developed in the 2017-2037 Forsyth County Compreshenvie Plan. Commnity Areas represent specific geographic locales that have unique, recognizable characteristics that are different from adjacent areas. Distinctions are based on the form, pattern and intensity of land development.Comprehensive Plan (2017 - 2037)The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to guide the intensity, location and timing of development and to ensure compatibility with existing uses, infrastructure and economic trends while protecting natural and cultural resources.Forsyth County's Comprehensive Plan serves as a policy guide as decisions are made in relation to growth and land use change. The plan addresses critical issues and opportunities through the incorporation of a shared vision for the community's future.Please see the Forsyth County website for a complete copy of the plan as well as a .PDF of the Community Character Maps
