This dataset is the 5 foot contour intervals for all of Buncombe County, NC. This data was created using a 20ft Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The DEMs were developed from Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data acquired January though February through April 2003, with partial re-flights for gap data in December 2003. Cell values in the DEMs were derived from a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) produced from the bare earth mass points and breaklines. The dataset was provided to the Buncombe County by the NC Floodplain Mapping Project as pre-release data in July and Sept 2006 .Specific information about individual data tiles can be obtained at www.ncfloodmaps.comTo download the 5 foot contours go to https://www.buncombecounty.org/governing/depts/gis/download-digital-data.aspx

North Carolina Effective Flood zones: In 2000, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated North Carolina a Cooperating Technical Partner State, formalizing an agreement between FEMA and the State to modernize flood maps. This partnership resulted in creation of the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program (NCFMP). As a CTS, the State assumed primary ownership and responsibility of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for all North Carolina communities as part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This project includes conducting flood hazard analyses and producing updated, Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs). Floodplain management is a process that aims to achieve reduced losses due to flooding. It takes on many forms, but is realized through a series of federal, state, and local programs and regulations, in concert with industry practice, to identify flood risk, implement methods to protect man-made development from flooding, and protect the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains. FIRMs are the primary tool for state and local governments to mitigate areas of flooding. Individual county databases can be downloaded from https://fris.nc.gov Updated Jan 17th, 2025.

This web map references the live tiled map service from the OpenStreetMap project. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Volunteers gather location data using GPS, local knowledge, and other free sources of information such as free satellite imagery, and upload it. The resulting free map can be viewed and downloaded from the OpenStreetMap server: http://www.OpenStreetMap.org. See that website for additional information about OpenStreetMap. It is made available as a basemap for GIS work in Esri products under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.Tip: This service is one of the basemaps used in the ArcGIS.com map viewer and ArcGIS Explorer Online. Simply click one of those links to launch the interactive application of your choice, and then choose Open Street Map from the Basemap control to start using this service.

This web service depicts raster contour lines that are generated on-the-fly from 3-ft. NC Dept. of Public Safety DEMs using the ArcGIS contour function. They are created for visualization and have been smoothed for a more cartographic-pleasing appearance. These contour lines do not have elevation values attached to them. However, if displayed in a GIS application, an "identify" on the map will display the elevation value of the contour based on the 3-ft. DEM source. This contour layer can be overlaid on a map and provide information regarding terrain without obscuring the underlying data. The contour interval is 1 ft.The DEMs these raster contours are based on can be downloaded from the Direct Data Downloads section on the NCOneMap.gov website. Unsmoothed vector contour lines can also be downloaded.

This data set was created by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS). This Forest (Tree) Land Cover data was derived from the North Carolina, 4 band, 2016, USDA National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery.It includes the entire state of NC, except Ft. Bragg. It is one (1) meter pixel resolution which makes hiding errors difficult. Some errors (incorrect classification) exists but we estimate the data is better than 90% accurate. When viewing this data, NCDA&CS highly recommends using aerials from 2016 for a base map. The original NAIP (raster) data was in TIF format (DOQQ tiles) and was natively in UTM projection.A decision rule supervised classification process was specifically designed around the tonal differences inherent in NAIP imagery. It used with spectral and textural (to separation grasslands from trees) information derived for each 4 band NAIP tile (quarter quad). A total of 3,564 tiles or 16 TBs of data were processed. The classification resulted in a 2-class classification schema. Class 1 is Forest/Trees and Class 2 Non-forest/trees. Class 2 is set to white/transparent by default. Texture processing was applied to reduce mixed pixel values between tree canopy, healthy grass and agriculture land areas. These features have similar vegetation spectral response and would otherwise result in a significant number of misclassified pixels. In many areas however, agriculture and grass land areas containing higher texture values still resulted in mixed canopy pixels. We assume this introduces around a 5% error or misclassification rate.

This service provides lines representing statewide road centerlines on publicly accessible roads segmented by a subset of road characteristics for the state road system. The state road system is comprised of Interstate, US, NC, Secondary Routes, and Ramps. Each arc/record is split where road characteristics change along a route. This data supports the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) data requirements for the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). HPMS is a national level highway information system that includes data on the extent, condition, performance, use, and operating characteristics of the nation's highways. States are required to submit an HPMS report to FHWA annually. This data also contains projected routes, generalized locations of routes that will become part of the National Highway System (NHS) when they are built. The non-system roads are consumed and conflated from authoritative sources, including local (i.e., county), state (i.e., parks) and federal (i.e., Forest Service) entities.This data is updated quarterly, usually February, May, August, and November.MetadataThe metadata for the contained layer of the NCDOT Road Characteristics Service is available through the following link:Public Road CharacteristicsPoint of Contact North Carolina Department of Information Technology -Transportation, GIS UnitGIS Data and Services ConsultantContact information:gishelp@ncdot.govCentury Center – Building B1020 Birch Ridge DriveRaleigh, NC 27610Hours of service: 9:00am - 5:00pm Monday – FridayContact instructions: Please send an email with any issues, questions, or comments regarding the Road Characteristics data.

Instead:click the Download buttonclick Download parcels by county or all counties at oncescroll to the Direct Data Downloads section and download your dataThis digital geospatial dataset represents parcel boundaries with standard core attributes for a collection of parcel data from North Carolina county data producers and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The Integrated Cadastral Data Exchange project transformed source datasets from county data producers to create a standardized dataset with consistent attributes (fields). The individual standardized county datasets were aggregated into a single dataset. The aggregated parcel dataset includes all 100 counties in North Carolina plus lands of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The source geometry is retained as published by individual county data producers. This dataset includes attributes such as ownership, area in acres, assessed value, and other core cadastral attributes. Web services have both polygons (parcel boundaries) and points representing each property, placed at or near the geometric center, with the same set of attributes.See the NC OneMap parcels page for more information.

This service provides vector polygon dataset defining the official boundaries of the 100 counties within North Carolina as well as the boundaries between North Carolina and the states which border North Carolina.The North Carolina county polygon boundary service provides location information for North Carolina State and County Boundary lines derived from the best available survey and/or Geographic Information System (GIS) data. Sources for information are the North Carolina Geodetic Survey (NCGS), NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT), United States Geological Survey (USGS), and field surveys conducted by licensed surveyors in North Carolina and neighboring states that have been approved and recorded in their respective counties. Some boundaries cannot be surveyed in cases where boundaries are coincident with river centers. North Carolina Geodetic Survey assists counties on a cooperative basis (NC General Statute 153A-18) in defining and monumenting the location of uncertain or disputed boundaries as established by law. Some counties have completed boundary surveys for at least a portion of their county boundary. However, the majority of county boundaries have not been surveyed and are represented by the best currently available data from GIS sources, including NCDOT county maps (which originally came from the USGS) and updated county parcel maps.MetadataThe metadata for the contained layer of the NCDOT County Boundaries Service is available through the following link:County Boundary PolygonsPoint of Contact North Carolina Department of Information Technology -Transportation, GIS UnitGIS Data and Services ConsultantContact information:gishelp@ncdot.govCentury Center – Building B1020 Birch Ridge DriveRaleigh, NC 27610Hours of service: 9:00am - 5:00pm Monday – FridayContact instructions: Please send an email with any issues, questions, or comments regarding the County Boundaries data.

The latest 12-Digit HUC boundaries, along with the calculated US Census population within each subwatershed area. HUC boundaries are from the USGS National Hydrography Watershed Boundary Dataset. US Census 2020, 2010, and 2000 Block Data was acquired through NC OneMap.Subwatershed population estimates were derived from the 2020, 2010, and 2000 Block population data from the US Census. The ArcGIS Tool "Summarize Within" was used to calculate the total population within each subwatershed for each census period. As census blocks and subwatershed boundaries do not always coincide, the calculated population is only an estimate and is not to be used as an exact figure.
