NOTE: Due to the size of this file, it can only be downloaded as a File Geodatabase.This statewide shapefile contains the freshwater surface water classifications for all named streams in North Carolina. This data was first uploaded on March 6, 2015 and originally pulled from BIMS in November 2014. To learn more about what classifications are, see the Classifications and Standards/Rule Review Branch website. Download this dataset from the DEQ Open Data PageThe Tile Layer for this Feature Layer is DWR Surface Water Classifications.Attributes:BIMS_INDEX: Index number BIMS_Names: Stream Name BIMS_Descr: Description of stream segment (from - to) BIMS_Class: Surface Water Classification BIMS_Date: Date the classification was given to that segment ClassURL: Link to the Classifications website that defines each classification Name: River Basin Contacts:Data Contact: Chris VentaloroLayer/Service Contact: Melanie Williams Updates: 05/24/2016: Changed the URL for the classifications page; fixed the Clear Creek (FBR) line segment; re-uploaded this as a new feature service with the ability to overwrite. 6/1/2017: Geometry for Index Numbers 18-(71) of the Cape Fear River and 18-88-1 of Walden Creek were missing from the feature service. The geometry was corrected with the existing file on local servers and the online feature service was overwritten. This feature layer can be found in the NC Surface Water Classification map application.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that 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 File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.
