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.

METWP24P depicts political boundaries for all Organized Towns and Unorganized Territories in Maine at 1:24,000 scale. The layer also includes common town names and authoritative geocodes. The layer was created using the USGS 7.5-minute map series and the Maine GIS base layer COAST, which contains Maine's coastal Mean High Water (MHW) mark and Maine islands. To correct mapping errors and reflect changes to Minor Civil Division (MCD) boundaries, arcs and polygons were added or updated using the following data sources: photorevised USGS data; Maine GIS base layer coincident features; legal descriptions; GPS data; and Maine Department of Transportation (MEDOT) engineering plans. METWP24P also contains USGS 1:100,000-scale data and U.S. Department of Commerce Census Bureau TIGER Line Files from 1990 and 2000 where these provide a more correct or best available representation of a feature in question.

METWP24PD depicts dissolved political boundaries for all Organized Towns and Unorganized Territories in Maine at 1:24,000 scale. "Dissolved" means that municipalities or townships with multiple disconnected entities (ex. islands) are grouped as multipart polygons in a single geometry with the appropriate municipality or township label and attribute data. This approach reduces the number of labels required and improves layer drawing performance for low-bandwidth environments. Example: a town has 430 distinct island entities that are all labeled as "town" in addition to the municipality itself. When dissolved, it has only one geometry that includes all 430 entities' combined area and attributes with the municipality, and one label of "town". METWP24PD includes common town names and authoritative geocodes in its attribute information. The layer was created using the USGS 7.5-minute map series and the Maine GIS base layer COAST, which contains Maine's coastal Mean High Water (MHW) mark and Maine islands.

A web map used to visualize available digital parcel data for Organized Towns and Unorganized Territories throughout the state of Maine. Individual towns submit parcel data on a voluntary basis; the data are compiled by the Maine Office of GIS for dissemination by the Maine GeoLibrary, and where available, the web map also includes assessor data contained in the Parcels_ADB related table.This web map is intended for use within the Maine Geoparcel Viewer Application; it is not intended for use as a standalone web map.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. Maine Parcels Organized Towns and Maine Parcels Organized Towns ADB are the product of these voluntary submissions. Communities provide updates to the Maine GeoLibrary on a non-regular basis, sometimes many years apart, which affects the currency of Maine GeoLibrary parcels data. Another resource for real property transaction data is the County Registry of Deeds, although organized town data should very closely match registry information, except in the case of in-process property conveyance transactions.

The conserved lands layer is an inventory of Maine’s terrestrial protected areas that are dedicated to the preservation of biological diversity and to other natural, recreation and cultural uses, and which are managed for these purposes through legal or other effective means. Conserved Lands contains conservation lands ownership boundaries at 1:24,000 scale for Maine land in federal, state, municipal and non-profit ownership with easements. State, county, town, and coast boundary data were obtained from MEGIS town boundary dataset METWP24. 1:24,000 US Geological Survey (USGS) digital line graph data was used for hydrography and transportation features. Where state, county, and town boundaries were coincident with property boundaries, the coincident features were taken from METWP24. Where hydrography, roads, railroads and power-lines were coincident with property boundaries, the coincident features were taken from 1:24,000 digital line graph data. The ownership lines do not represent legal boundaries nor are the ownership lines a survey. Conserved Lands is an inventory of approximate property boundaries.Conserved Lands was created to provide GIS coverage for the conservation lands database. The ownership lines do not represent legal boundaries nor are the ownership lines a survey. The data contained in Conserved Lands is an inventory only. Users must assume responsibility in determining the usability of this data for their purposes. Data at this scale is suitable for local and regional planning. Original mapping was produced in 1989, updated in 1993 by R.D. Kelly Jr. of the State Planning Office. Data is continually updated. Conservation organizations, land trusts, and municipalities can submit new or updated fee ownership or easement parcels to the statewide Conserved Lands layer by emailing a shapefile to Tracy Scopel, tracy.scopel@maine.gov. Please use the same attribute fields in the shapefile and follow the guidance for populating the data in the Conserved Lands Layer Attributes Handout. Please indicate for each parcel polygon whether it is a new addition or an edit of an existing feature. If editing a feature please make sure the CL_UNIQUEID value from the existing feature in Conserved Lands is included.

This layer shows the boundaries of the areas in Maine which are under the jurisdiction of each DEP office, based on the 1:24,000 towns layer provided by Maine Office of GIS. It can be used to quickly identify which DEP office would have jurisdiction over sites in Maine. CMRO - Central Maine Office in Augusta, EMRO - Eastern Maine Office in Bangor, NMRO - Northern Maine Office in Presque Isle, Southern Maine Office in Portland.

Image Service | OGC WCS | OGC WMS | KMZORTHO_2F was collected at a 2 foot ground sample distance (GSD) , high resolution digital orthophotographs produced from aerial photos collected over southwestern, central and northeastern Maine in the Spring of 2003, 2004 and 2005. Each pixel represents a planimetric square 2 feet on a side on the ground. Aerial photography for ORTHO_2F was flown at 12,000 feet above mean ground level. Source elevation data were 10 meter Digital Elevation Models produced for this project by USGS from 1:24,000 scale elevation and hydrography data supplied by MEGIS. The digital orthorectified images (image chips) are referenced to North American Datum 1983, UTM Zone 19, expressed in units of meters. Cartographic Services for orthorectification and the creation of digital elevation models were provided by USGS Mid-Continent Mapping Center (USGSMCMC). ORTHO_2F provides a digital photographic map suitable for applications requiring a 1:4800 map scale, a National Map Accuracy Standard (NMAS) of +/- 13.33 feet. The multi-agreement program was developed and funded in coordination with the Maine GeoLibrary Board. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) contributed toward this project via a separate funding agreement with USGS. The completed orthorectified GeoTIFF files represent quarter-quadrangle (QQ) sized tiles with a 300m over-edge. All overedges for ORTHO_2f overlap adjacent ORTHO_1F orthophotography by this distance. ORTHO_2F tiles provide complete coverage of the TIER B boundaries as defined by the project. Tiles split by tier and project boundaries were completed to their full tile extent. Towns designated TIER B will have complete coverage by 2 foot GSD imagery.

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. Block Groups (BGs) are defined before tabulation block delineation and numbering, but are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census. For example, Census 2000 tabulation blocks 3001, 3002, 3003,.., 3999 within Census 2000 tract 1210.02 are also within BG 3 within that census tract. Census 2000 BGs generally contained between 600 and 3,000 people, with an optimum size of 1,500 people. Most BGs were delineated by local participants in the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau delineated BGs only where the PSAP participant declined to delineate BGs or where the Census Bureau could not identify any local PSAP participant. A BG usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tract. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, BGs never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska Native / Native Hawaiian areas. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs coded 0 were intended to only include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal water, and Great Lakes water areas. For Census 2000, rather than extending a census tract boundary into the Great Lakes or out to the U.S. nautical three-mile limit, the Census Bureau delineated some census tract boundaries along the shoreline or just offshore. The Census Bureau assigned a default census tract number of 0 and BG of 0 to these offshore, water-only areas not included in regularly numbered census tract areas.

Line feature class which represents coastal engineering structures along coastlines of communities in York and Cumberland Counties, Maine, from Kittery to South Portland. Final attributes include:STRUCTURE_TYPE: in some cases, may include the seaward shoreline type (e.g., bedrock, mudflat, beach, etc.) and the shoreline engineering type (e.g., rip-rap, bulkhead, etc.). May include only a single shoreline engineering structure type, or more than one. If more than one, structures are listed in seaward-landward direction and separated by '/'. For example, "beach/rip-rap/bulkhead" means the seaward shoreline type is a "beach" and that the structure type is "rip-rap" with a "bulkhead" more landward.HAT_CONTACT: qualifier (Y,N) for whether or not it appears that the highest astronomical tide and/or wave action would intersect with the shoreline engineering structure.TOWN: municipality within which the shoreline engineering structure is located.COUNTY: county within which the shoreline engineering structure is located.Dist_mi: approximate distance, in US miles, of the shoreline engineering structure.Shape_Length: approximate length, in meters, of the shoreline engineering structure.Process Steps included:Shoreline structures from the most recent EVI LANDWARD_SHORETYPE feature class were extracted using the boundaries of York and Cumberland counties. This included 1B: Exposed, Solid Man-Made structures, 8B: Sheltered, Solid Man-Made Structures; 6B: Riprap, and 8C: Sheltered Riprap. Note that ESIL uses the MHW line as the feature base.Shoreline structures from the work by Rice (2015) were extracted using the York and Cumberland county boundaries. Additional feature classes for structures were created for York and Cumberland county structures that were missed. This was Slovinsky_York_Structures and Slovinsky_Cumberland_Structures. GoogleEarth imagery was inspected while additional structures were being added to the GIS. Available York and Cumberland County imagery was used as the basemap, and structures were classified as bulkheads, rip rap, etc. (if known). MEDEP was consulted to determine which permit data (both PBR and IP data) could be used to help determine where shoreline stabilization projects may have been conducted adjacent to or on coastal bluffs. A file was received for IP data and brought into GIS (DEP_Licensing_Points). This is a point file for shoreline stabilization permits under NRPA. Clip GISVIEW.MEDEP.Permit_By_Rule_Locations to the boundaries of Casco Bay and output DEP_PBR_Points.Join GISVIEW.sde>GISVIEW.MEDEP.PBR_ACTIVITY to the DEP_PBR_Points using the PBR_ID Field. Then, export this file as DEP_PBR_Points2. Using the new ACTIVITY_DESC field, select only those activities that relate to shoreline stabilization projects:PBR_ACTIVITY ACTIVITY_DESC02 Act. Adjacent to a Protected Natural Resource04 Maint Repair & Replacement of Structure08 Shoreline StabilizationSelect by Attributes > PBR_ACTIVITY IN (‘02’, ‘04’, ‘08’) select only those activities likely to be related to shoreline stabilization, and export the selected data as a DEP_PBR_Points3. Then delete 1 and 2, and rename this final product as DEP_PBR_Points.Next, visually inspect the Licensing and PBR files using available imagery along with Google Earth imagery to determine the extents of armoring along the shoreline.Using EVI and Rice data as indicators, manually inspect and digitize sections of the coast line that are armored. For York and Cumberland county coastal areas (not Casco Bay), classify the seaward shoreline type (beach, mudflat, channel, dune, etc.) and the armor type (wall or bulkhead). Bring in the HAT line and, using that and visual indicators, identify whether or not the armored sections are in contact with HAT. Use Google Earth at the same time as digitizing in order to help constrain areas.Intersect shoreline engineering structures lines with Town/County data from Maine Office of GIS.

A deer wintering area (DWA) is defined as a forested area used by deer when snow depth in the open/hardwoods exceeds 12 inches, deer sinking depth in the open/hardwoods exceeds 8 inches and mean daily temperatures are below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Non-forested wetlands, non-stocked clear-cuts, hardwood types, and stands predominated by eastern larch are included within the DWA only if less than 10 acres in size. Agricultural and development areas within DWAs are excluded regardless of size. Evaluation (rating procedure): Deer wintering areas are evaluated based on three criteria: 1) quality of softwood shelter, 2) intensity of deer use, and 3) size. Information on the quality of softwood shelter and intensity of deer use are based on ground survey plots within the final boundary of the DWA being evaluated. The acreage of the DWA is determined after the final outline of the DWA has been drawn. This dataset includes DWAs in organized townships that are candidate Significant Wildlife Habitat under Maine's Natural Resources Protection Act as mapped by MDIFW Regional Biologists. Currently all DWAs are rated as indeterminate.

County Subdivisions are the primary divisions of counties and equivalent entities. They include census county divisions, census subareas, minor civil divisions, and unorganized territories, and can be classified as either legal or statistical. Legal entities are termed minor civil divisions and statistical entities can be either census county divisions, census subareas, or unorganized territories.Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs) are the primary governmental or administrative divisions of a county in many states (parishes in Louisiana) and of the county equivalents in Puerto Rico and the Island Areas. MCDs in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas represent many different kinds of legal entities with a wide variety of governmental and/or administrative functions. MCDs include areas variously designated as barrios, barrios-pueblo, boroughs, charter townships, commissioner districts, election districts, election precincts, gores, grants, locations, magisterial districts, parish governing authority districts, plantations, purchases, reservations, supervisor's districts, towns, and townships. The Census Bureau recognizes MCDs in 29 states, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas. The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and is considered equivalent to an MCD for statistical purposes.In some states, all or some incorporated places are not part of any MCD; these places are termed independent places. In nine states-Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Wisconsin-all incorporated places are independent places. In other states, incorporated places are part of, or dependent within, the MCDs in which they are located, or the pattern is mixed-some incorporated places are independent of MCDs and others are included within one or more MCDs.In New York and Maine, American Indian reservations (AIRs) generally exist outside the jurisdiction of any town (MCD) and thus also serve as the equivalent of MCDs for purposes of data presentation.In states with legal MCDs, the Census Bureau assigns a default FIPS county subdivision code of 00000 and ANSI code of eight zeroes in some coastal, territorial sea, and Great Lakes water where county subdivisions do not extend into the Great Lakes or out to the three-mile limit.Census County Divisions (CCDs) are areas delineated by the Census Bureau in cooperation with state, tribal, and local officials for statistical purposes. CCDs have no legal function and are not governmental units. CCD boundaries usually follow visible features and usually coincide with census tract boundaries. The name of each CCD is based on a place, county, or well-known local name that identifies its location.Census Subareas are statistical subdivisions of boroughs, city and boroughs, municipalities, and census areas, the statistical equivalent entities for counties in Alaska. The state of Alaska and the Census Bureau cooperatively delineate the census subareas to serve as the statistical equivalents of MCDs.Unorganized Territories (UTs) are defined by the Census Bureau in nine MCD states where portions of counties or equivalent entities are not included in any legally established MCD or incorporated place. The Census Bureau recognizes such separate pieces of territory as one or more separate county subdivisions for census purposes. It assigns each unorganized territory a descriptive name, followed by the designation "UT".Download: https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TGRGDB24/tlgdb_2024_a_us_substategeo.gdb.zip Layer: County_SubdivisionMetadata: https://meta.geo.census.gov/data/existing/decennial/GEO/GPMB/TIGERline/Current_19115/series_tl_2023_cousub.shp.iso.xml
