Download .zipA soil mapping unit designates a specific type of soil which has unique charactersitics including texture, slope, and erosion class.

This coverage was digitized from the original paper soil survey sheets. These sheets were taped together to form an area covering each of the townships in the county. The areas for each township were then digitized using a run length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these horizontal lines was one decafoot (10 feet). The township files were subsequently converted to ARC/INFO format and merged to create a county coverage.

The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the original soil survey and should not be used for site specific analysis. Additional details on the digitizing process are available on request.

Hancock County, Union River Watershed, landcover

ABSTRACT: The U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) has produced a vegetation spatial database coverage (vegetation map) for the Acadia National Park Vegetation Mapping Project, USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program (VMP). Thematic accuracy requirements of the VMP specify 80% accuracy for each map class (theme) that represents National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) associations (vegetation communities). The UMESC selected 728 field sites, all within Acadia National Park fee and easement lands, for a thematic accuracy assessment (AA) to the vegetation map. The sites were randomly generated, stratified to map class themes that represent NVCS natural/semi-natural vegetation communities using VMP standards. Certain modifications to the process were necessary to accommodate logistical challenges. Local botanists collected field data for 724 of the sites during the 1999 field season. Thematic AA used 688 sites. Sites not used for the analysis were due to the elimination of an entire map class because of irreconcilable classification concepts (19 sites), or to other reasons including unmanageable error with GPS coordinate, duplicate site location, and incomplete field data (17 sites). Regardless of their use in the analysis, all 724 AA sites collected are represented in the Accuracy Assessment Site Spatial Database.

The Maine Geoparcel Viewer Application allows users to search and view available digital parcel data for Organized Townships and Unorganized Territories in the State of Maine. The Maine GeoLibrary and the Maine Office of GIS do not maintain parcel data for communities, cannot verify parcel ownership, and are not responsible for individual parcel data verification or updating emergency records concerning parcel addresses. If you have questions about a specific parcel, please contact the appropriate Town Office or County Registry of Deeds for the most up-to-date information.Within Maine, real property data is maintained by the government organization responsible for assessing and collecting property tax for a given location. Organized towns and townships maintain authoritative data for their communities and may voluntarily submit these data to the Maine GeoLibrary Parcel Project. The "Maine Parcels Organized Towns Feature" layer and "Maine Parcels Organized Towns ADB" table are the product of these voluntary submissions. Communities provide updates to the Maine GeoLibrary on a non-regular basis, which affects the currency of Maine GeoLibrary parcels data; some data are more than ten years old. Please contact the appropriate Town Office or the County Registry of Deeds for more up-to-date parcel information. Organized Town data should very closely match registry information, except in the case of in-process property conveyance transactions.In Unorganized Territories (defined as those regions of the state without a local government that assesses real property and collects property tax), Maine Revenue Services is the authoritative source for parcel data. The "Maine Parcels Unorganized Territory" layer is the authoritative GIS data layer for the Unorganized Territories. However, it must always be used with auxiliary data obtained from the online resources of Maine Revenue Services to compile up-to-date parcel ownership information.

Purpose:To provide a spatially accurate, topologically correct representation of the road network within Wood, Lucas, Ottawa, Seneca, Hancock, Henry, and Fulton Counties, supporting general mapping, transportation planning, geocoding, and roadway inventory.Supplemental Information:This dataset is part of the Ohio Location Based Response System (LBRS) and adheres to its standards for accuracy and topological correctness. It is designed to assist with public safety, transportation planning, and roadway management across multiple counties.Keywords:Road Centerline, LBRS, Transportation, General Mapping, Geocoding, Roadway Inventory, Multi-County, Ohio.Lineage:Source(s): Data collected through the Ohio LBRS with contributions from local authorities across Wood, Lucas, Ottawa, Seneca, Hancock, Henry, and Fulton Counties.Process Steps: Includes GPS field data collection, digitization, topology enforcement, validation, and periodic updates across all represented counties.Accuracy and Consistency:Positional Accuracy: Consistent with LBRS standards, verified through GPS and county-level records.Attribute Accuracy: Street names, classifications, and jurisdiction verified against official records for each county.Logical Consistency: Maintains topological integrity, providing a continuous, non-overlapping road network.Data Type:Vector (Polyline)Composition:Polylines representing road centerlines with attributes like street names, jurisdiction, surface type, and classification.Spatial Reference:Coordinate System: NAD 1983 NSRS2007 StatePlane Ohio North FIPS 3401 (US Feet)Projection: Lambert Conformal ConicDatum: NAD 1983 NSRS2007Time Period of Content:Reflects conditions as of the LBRS and county GIS updates at the time this was produced. This is a preexisting dataset created before the current GIS Manager.Currentness Reference:Updated as needed for new developments, closures, or reclassifications across all included counties, in alignment with LBRS standards.Contacts:Primary Contact:David L.
