This parcels data set is a spatial representation of municipal tax lots for Mercer County, New Jersey that have been extracted from the NJ statewide parcels composite by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). Parcels at county boundaries have been modified to correspond with the NJ county boundaries and the parcels in adjacent counties.Each parcel contains a field named PAMS_PIN based on a concatenation of the county/municipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code. Using the PAMS_PIN, the dataset can be joined to the MOD-IV database table that contains supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics. Due to irregularities in the data development process, duplicate PAMS_PIN values exist in the parcel records. Users should avoid joining MOD-IV database table records to all parcel records with duplicate PAMS_PINs because of uncertainty regarding whether the MOD-IV records will join to the correct parcel records. There are also parcel records with unique PAMS_PIN values for which there are no corresponding records in the MOD-IV database tables. This is mostly due to the way data are organized in the MOD-IV database.The polygons delineated in the dataset do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership. Parcels are not survey data and should not be used as such.The MOD-IV (Tax Assessor's) table for the county is packaged together with the parcels as one download. The MOD-IV system provides for uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records and produces all statutorily required tax lists for property tax bills. This list accounts for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official tax map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel. Tax List records were received as raw data from the Taxation Team of NJOIT which collected source information from municipal tax assessors and created the statewide table. This table was subsequently processed for ease of use with NJ tax parcel spatial data and split into an individual table for each county.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

The New Jersey Office of Information Technology (OIT), Office of GIS (OGIS) has enhanced the previously published NJ Department of Transportation (DOT) Roadway Network GIS data set to create a fully segmented Road Centerlines of New Jersey feature class. This dataset includes fully parsed address information and additional roadway characteristics. It provides the geometric framework for display and query of relevant non-spatial data published as separate tables that can be joined to the feature class. The enhancement process included integration of multiple data sets, primarily those developed and maintained by county agencies in New Jersey and the US Census Bureau.

Three classes of impervious surfaces--buildings, roads, and other impervious--were mapped for New Jersey through a semi-automated process developed using eCognition software. The automated feature extraction workflow used a Geographic Object-Oriented Image Analysis (GEOBIA) framework to extract the three impervious classes from the source datasets which include digital imagery, LiDAR point clouds and several vector data sets including Land use/land cover, road centerlines and hydrographic features, using a rule-based expert system.

The contour lines illustrate the potentiometric surface much like the contour lines of a topographic map represent a visual model of the ground surface. A potentiometric surface map is very similar to a water table map in that both show the horizontal direction and gradient of ground water flow.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Geological Survey2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6693Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

This feature class (shapefile) consists of point locations of public, private, and charter schools including pre-schools, day care facilities, adult and vocational schools in New Jersey, with minimal attributes. Most of the public schools were initially located in 2003 by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and were checked in 2007-2016 by the NJ Office of Geographic Information Systems (OGIS), other organizations and volunteers. Charter schools were located in 2011 and checked through 2016 by OGIS against the 2016 NJ Department of Education table of public schools that also lists charter schools.Private schools were located initially in 2010, and updated later in 2014 only for Somerset County using the spatial data provided by Somerset County GIS team. The present data set is the result of checking and updating the previous locations by processing the tabular data that were acquired from NJDOE in August, 2016.

© Most of the public school records were derived from 2003 data sets created by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Special acknowledgements are to people of the following organizations who made a significant contribution to school location verification process: Seth Hackman (NJDEP), Salem county GIS; Morris County GIS; Atlantic County GIS; Cape May County GIS; DVRPC; Hunterdon County GIS; Somerset County GIS; Warren County Prosecutor's Office; Westfield Engineering; WFS (for Mercer, Middlesex, Burlington and Camden Co.) ; Monmouth GIS; voluneers and state employees who made site visits on their own time: Charles Colvard, Dominic Juliano, Matt Lawson, Richard Rabinowitz, Amy J.

Municipal boundaries for DVRPC Region with Philadelphia's County Planning Areas. Municipal Boundaries have been edited by DVRPC to create a more accurate, seemless regional dataset for the DVRPC region and its surrounding area. This dataset was compiled from multiple sources. Original data sources (in order of drawing rank): DVRPC - for Mercer, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester counties in NJ (an adaptation of NJOIT's Mun Bounds) and Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Chester, and Delaware counties in PA. In most cases, boundaries have been adjusted to align with parcel data. Due to the name change from Washington Twp to Robbinsville Twp in Mercer County, the unique ID (GEOID) for this municipality has changed from 3402177210 to 3402163850 . However, if you download 2000 census data from the Bureau's website, the unique ID (GEOID) for Robbinsville Township will still be 3402177210 in the census data…you will have to manually change its GEOID to 3402163850 in order to get the 2000 data to join to the MCD file correctly. Edited in April 2021 to match PCPC's planning district boundaries and numbers dated 2013

GIS data from the city of Bismarck was used to update Bismarck, GIS data and 2012 aerial photography was used to update the city of Williston, Minot’s city map and the 2010 aerial photography from Ward County was used to update Minot, and 2011 aerial photography and Dickinson’s "working" city map was used to update Dickinson. The counties updated were Williams, Burke, Bottineau, Mountrail, Ward, Wells, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Steele, and Cass. At the time of this updated, approximately 50% of Stutsman and 50% of Traill Counties are updated. Williams, Bottineau, Ward, and Mountrail roads were inspected from the air and the 2009 NAIP photos were also used to assist the updates. The roads in Williams County were also recoded to match Williams County naming conventions. Williams County CADD map which is on the Williams county web site was used in updating the road names. In Ward County, the 2010 image from Ward County was used to assist in updating Ward County. The 2010 NAIP photos were used to update Wells, Eddy, Foster, Griggs and Steele Counties. Cass was updated with the assistance of the Cass County GIS layer and the 2011 Cass county imagery. 10/3/2011 - County roads were edited in the cities of Fargo, West Fargo, Horace, Minot, Bismarck, Devils Lake, Grafton, Williston, Valley City, and Dickinson. Also, a part of Ward and Mchenry Counties was edited and the county of Renville has been updated. The business routes through Bismarck and Jamestown were also edited. 5/9/2011 - Updated streets in Bismarck, Mandan, Jamestown, Dickinson, West Fargo ( not quite finished yet), and Valley City. Also, corrected the north - south roads in Township 144N Ranges 49 - 53 E, (in Traill County) 10/5/10 - The original Roads_County data was maintained in two separate ArcInfo coverages and then combined each year and exported to the NDHUB infrastructure. These two coverages have now been combined into one SDE feature class and is being edited within the SDE environment. The following changes have been made to feature class. Deleted all the A1 and A2 Fields so a person would have to hunt back and forth to find a road name. Road names consist of the following fields: RTE_ID, STR_TYP, SUF_DIR, & LAN_DIR. The CMC route numbers were moved from the A1_ prefixed fields to the CMC field to better track the CMC route. Created a County Highway field so we can enter the county road number. It consists of the counties name and number. This is still a work in progress. Created FS_RD_Number and FS_RD_Name fields to better track Forest Service roads. Created Bia-RD_Number and BIA_RD_Name fields to better track Bureau of Indian Affairs roads. The following field changes are used for NDDOT specific processes: Created a service level field which is something that may be used in the future. Currently it contains how Walsh County prioritizes their roads. Created a Through and Connecting Route field so we can so select routes through the towns and cities. This was created exclusively for the county base maps. Created an Inset Associated field. This was created so the information in the rd_misc would come into the county routes. In the future, it is planned to be deleted. 6/18/09 - Updated county routes from aerial observation and photo interpretation using 2003, 2005, 2006 NAIP photos and 2008 photography from Designs camera. Counties updated were Golden Valley, Billings, McKenzie, Dunn, Mercer, Oliver, McLean, Sheridan and Burleigh. City streets were rectified in these counties using the 2003 NAIP photos. Observations were performed by Steven Nelson. 4/17/08 - Updated road surface types in NE. Rolette, Pierce, Benson, Towner, Ramsey, Cavalier, Pembina, Walsh, Grand Forks and Nelson from the 2006 aerial observations by Dewaine Olson 2/13/07 - Updated via 2004 NAIP photos: Barnes, Cass, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Kidder, Steele, Stutsman, Traill, Wells. Combined Misc Roads and County Roads. Blank fields mean unknown attribute. Use P_STREET_NAME for dynamic labeling. We are also in the process of removing all proposed roads. 12/28/05 - Counties updated: Emmons, Logan, Mcintosh, Lamoure, Dickey, Ransom, Sargent, Richland, Divide, Williams, Burke, Mountrail, Ward, Renville, Bottineau, and Mchenry This data came from the NDDOT's Mapping Section. The original data was digitized from hand scribed maps and registered

Download .zipThe Ohio Wetlands Inventory is based on analysis of satellite data by Bruce R. Motsch and Gary M. Schaal and is intended solely as an indicator of wetland sites for which field review should be conducted. The satellite data reflect conditions during the specific year and season the data was acquired and all wetlands may not be indicated. Statistics generated from the inventory are intended solely as an approximation.

The Ohio Wetlands Inventory for Mercer County was produced from May 1985 Landsat Thematic mapper data (cell size 30 meters by 30 meters) using ERDAS Image processing software. The raster data has been converted to ARC/INFO format and exported to an interchange file.

The data was originally georeferenced to UTM zone 17 coordinates NAD 27 and is also available in this coordinate system in ERDAS Imagine format.

The class of woods on hydric soils, wet meadow and farmed wetland fall on hydric soils when digital soils data is available for the county.

U.S. Counties & Equivalent EntitiesThis feature layer, utilizing National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) data from the U.S. Census Bureau, depicts counties and their equivalent entities in the United States. Per the USCB, "The primary legal divisions of most states are termed counties.In Louisiana, these divisions are known as parishes. In Alaska the equivalent entities are the organized boroughs, city and boroughs, municipalities, and census areas. There are county equivalents for data presentation: Municipios - Puerto Rico, Districts and islands - American Samoa, Municipalities - Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia, there are one or more incorporated places that are independent of any county organization and, thus, constitute primary divisions of their states. These incorporated places are known as independent cities and are treated as equivalent entities for purposes of data presentation. The District of Columbia and Guam have no primary divisions, and each area is considered an equivalent entity for purposes of data presentation in decennial censuses. All of the counties in Connecticut and Rhode Island and nine counties in Massachusetts were dissolved as functioning governmental entities; however, the Census Bureau continues to present data for these historical entities in order to provide comparable geographic units at the county level of the geographic hierarchy for these states and represents them as nonfunctioning legal entities in data products."Mercer County, New JerseyData currency: This cached Esri federal service is checked weekly for updates from its enterprise federal source (TIGERweb/State_County) and will support mapping, analysis, data exports and OGC API – Feature access.NGDAID: 76 (Series Information for County and Equivalent Entities National TIGER/Line Shapefiles, Current)OGC API Features Link: (U.S. Counties & Equivalents) copy this link to embed it in OGC Compliant viewersFor more information, please visit: States, Counties, and Statistically Equivalent EntitiesFor feedback please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comNGDA Data SetThis data set is part of the NGDA Governmental Units, and Administrative and Statistical Boundaries Theme Community.

Boundaries for these various types of geographic areas are either defined through a documented legal description or through criteria and guidelines. Other boundaries may include international limits, those of federal land ownership, the extent of administrative regions for various federal agencies, as well as the jurisdictional offshore limits of U.S. sovereignty. Boundaries associated solely with natural resources and/or cultural entities are excluded from this theme and are included in the appropriate subject themes."For other NGDA Content: Esri Federal Datasets

The data was unprojected via ArcMap for use on the Hub. The information came from Ken Rood and the Insurance Commission. For years the NDDOT would use ChartPak tape and tape the boundaries on our 11 X 17 County Base Maps. Deciding the need for a digital layer, the mapping section started to create the layer during the winter of 2006/2007. The section line layer was used to snap the Fire District Boundaries to. The layer was created in ArcMap and the names and fire district codes were given to us by the Insurance Commission. A geodatabase was created for the layer and topology rules were created to eliminate overlaps and slivers. The link to the maps on the Insurance Commissions site is http://www.nd.gov/ndins/company/details.asp?ID=321

An elevation or topographic contour is a line that connects a series of points of equal elevation and is used to illustrate topography, or relief, on a map. It shows the height of ground above Mean Sea Level (M.S.L.). Numerous contour lines that are close together indicate hilly or mountainous terrain; when far apart, they represent a gentler slope. This layer consists of contours at a five foot interval for Montgomery County. Data was derived from DVRPC and was generated from an aerial topographic survey in 2005.The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission's (DVRPC) 9-county region is made up of the following: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey.The regional dataset can be be accessed via rest service or downloaded from PASDA

12/26/18 - The following counties have been updated using a variety of aerial photography: Rolette, Pierce, Benson, Towner, Ramsey, cavalier, Pembina, Walsh, Nelson, Grand Forks, Golden Valley, Billings, McKenzie, Dunn, Mercer, Oliver, McLean, Sheridan, Burleigh, Emmons, Logan, McIntosh, Lamoure, Dickey, Ransom, Sargent, Richland, Divide, Williams, Burke, Mountrail, Renville, Ward, Bottineau, McHenry, Wells, Kidder, and Cass7/15/14 - updated include: Traill, Barnes, Stutsman, Kidder, Bowman, Slope, Stark, Hettinger, Adams, Grant, Sioux and Morton. These datasets were updated using a combination of the available NAIP aerials, the DES aerials, and by car within the insets.4/30/13 - Cultural points have been updated for the following counties: Divide, Williams, Mountrail, Burke, Renville, Ward, McHenry, Bottineau, Wells, Kidder, Stutsman, Foster, Eddy, Griggs, Barnes, Cass, Steele, and Traill Counties.6/24/10 - We have now incorporated survey points into culture points. They are used to show section corners and ¼ corners within the city maps. The counties of Emmons, Logan, McIntosh, LaMoure, Dickey, Ransom, Sargent and Richland were updated this past year 6/18/09 - Updated culture points from aerial observation and photo interpretation using 2003, 2005, 2006 NAIP photos and 2008 photography from Designs camera. Counties updated were Golden Valley, Billings, McKenzie, Dunn, Mercer, Oliver, McLean, Sheridan and Burleigh. Oil well information was updated from a shapefile provided from the Oil and Gas Division. Observations were performed by Steven Nelson.2/13/07 - Updated via 2004 NAIP photos: Barnes, Cass, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Kidder, Steele, Stutsman, Traill, Wells This data came from the NDDOT's Mapping Section. The original data was digitized from hand scribed maps and registered to the 1:24000 USGS PLSS data. The digitized data is maintained in individual county tiles. These tiles were appended together to make a singe state wide coverage. It was then converted from a projection (NAD 1983 UTM Zone 14N) to a Geographic coordinate system.
