After a disaster, when the “normal” means to describe locations, such as street signs, are gone, the U.S. National Grid provide a standardized grid reference system that is seamless across jurisdictional boundaries and allows for pinpointing exact locations.Since USNG is standardized, it can be understood and used as a common geographic framework for response. Learn more about how it works in USNG Overview articles. Data was downlaoded from https://usngcenter.org/

Building permit layer extracted from Energov 2 times a week (Monday/Friday) .Building permits extracted from Energov. A permit is required in most jurisdictions for new construction, major renovations, signs, pools and earth movement.

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).

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

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.

NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE IMAGERY BY USING THE MAP OR DOWNLOAD TOOLS ON THIS ARCGIS HUB ITEM PAGE. IT WILL RESULT IN A PIXELATED ORTHOIMAGE. INSTEAD, DOWNLOAD THE IMAGERY BY TILE OR BY COUNTY MOSAIC (2010 - current year).This service depicts true color imagery for the 26 counties representing the Northern Piedmont and Mountains region of North Carolina. This includes the following counties: Alamance, Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Burke, Caldwell, Caswell, Catawba, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Iredell, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Randolph, Rockingham, Rowan, Stokes, Surry, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, and Yancey. The imagery has a pixel resolution of 6 inches and was flown in the beginning of 2018. The RMSE is 1.5 ft X and Y. Individual pixel values may have been altered during image processing. Therefore, this service should be used for general reference and viewing. Image analysis requiring examination of individual pixel values is discouraged. To view the latest imagery for any location in the state, customers should use the "Orthoimagery_Latest" image service (https://services.nconemap.gov/secure/rest/services/Imagery/Orthoimagery_Latest/ImageServer).To find specific dates the images were captured use the imagery dates app or download the data.Metadata:Summary metadata for orthoimagery mosaicsSummary metadata for orthoimagery tilesContractor-specific metadata for Avery, Burke, Caldwell, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Yancey countiesContractor-specific metadata for Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Catawba, Iredell, Watauga and Wilkes countiesContractor-specific metadata for Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Rowan, Surry, Stokes, and Yadkin countiesContractor-specific metadata for Alamance, Caswell, Guilford, Randolph, and Rockingham counties

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

Uses include maps, applications and analyses.

This layer delinates the area being put forward in one of three types of applications to the Long Range Planning Division of the Planning department. CUP - Conditional Use Permit, HOP - Home Occupation Permit, and SP - Sketch Plat. These are all applications which require approval from the Planning Commision (HOP) and the Board of Commissioners (CUP, SP). Please see the Long Range Planning web page on the Forsyth County website for details and requirements of these applications.Data is listed by Application number, other data included is approval status.

The Plans Hearings (Administrative Permits) feature class are locations of permits that require a public hearing. This data is used for GIS mapping and Web Applications.

Sheriff patrol beats for North and South Precincts.

The Conveyance Division is the primary division of the survey system. Examples are lots, units, or common elements. These are nested within the simultaneous conveyance and do not cross boundaries. The Conveyance Division may not tessellate or uniquely divide the entire simultaneous conveyance. The Conveyance Division feature class is updated nightly extracting information from the Parcel Fabric into the feature class.

The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) is a seamless, national hydrologic unit dataset. Simply put, hydrologic units represent the area of the landscape that drains to a portion of the stream network. More specifically, a hydrologic unit defines the areal extent of surface water drainage to an outlet point on a dendritic stream network or to multiple outlet points where the stream network is not dendritic. A hydrologic unit may represent all or only part of the total drainage area to an outlet point so that multiple hydrologic units may be required to define the entire drainage area at a given outlet. Hydrologic unit boundaries in the WBD are determined based on topographic, hydrologic, and other relevant landscape characteristics without regard for administrative, political, or jurisdictional boundaries. The WBD seamlessly represents hydrologic units at six required and two optional hierarchical levels.The hydrologic units (HU) in the WBD form a standardized system for organizing, collecting, managing, and reporting hydrologic information for the nation. The HU in the WBD are arranged in a nested, hierarchical system with each HU in the system identified using a unique code. Hydrologic unit codes (HUC) are developed using a progressive two-digit system where each successively smaller areal unit is identified by adding two digits to the identifying code the smaller unit is nested within. WBD contains eight levels of progressive hydrologic units identified by unique 2- to 16-digit codes. The dataset is complete for the United States to the 12-digit hydrologic unit. The 14- and 16-digit hydrologic units are optional and are not complete for the nation. Efforts are ongoing to complete 10- and 12-digit unit delineations within 8-digit hydrologic units extending across the U.S. – Canada border. Additional information about this effort and access to data is linked on the “resources” section on this page. A similar effort is complete for the 10- and 12-digit units extending across the U.S. – Mexico border.More information can be found here: https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset?qt-science_support_page_related_con=4#qt-science_support_page_related_con
