The Street_and_Address_Composite will return a geographic coordinate when a street address is entered. A user can enter an address either manually or by bulk input from a database or other source.The geocoder returns a coordinate pair and standardized address for each input address it is able to match. The NYS ITS Geospatial Services geocoder uses a series of combinations of reference data and configuration parameters to optimize both the likelihood of a match and the quality of the results. The reference data supporting the geocoder is stored in Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) standard.The first composite locator (Street_and_Address_Composite) is made up of the following set of locators which are most likely to return a high quality hit. The locators are listed in the order in which they will be accessed along with a brief description of the locator's source data.

Accessible Recreation Destinations (ARDs) are recreation areas located on lands managed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), such as trailheads and boating, camping, fishing, and picnic areas, from which all pedestrians can access wheelchair accessible features.DEC welcomes all visitors to explore state lands, and we are committed to providing an ever-increasing range of accessible outdoor recreation opportunities. See Accessible Recreation Destinations web page for more information on the information provided in this data layer and to explore the range of wheelchair accessible opportunities statewide via an interactive online map displaying the data in this layer.Accessible Features at DEC Facilities are designed or renovated to be consistent with the U.S. Access Board Accessibility Guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) according to the requirements at the time of construction or modification.Accessible campsites at developed DEC Campgrounds are designated for use by people with mobility disabilities and offer an accessible picnic table and fireplace/ring, along with a firm, graded surface suitable for navigation of a mobility device. See Campgrounds page for more information.Accessible primitive campsites on backcountry DEC lands have a firm, graded surface suitable for navigation of a mobility device and offer an undeveloped camping experience on a no-fee, first-come, first-served basis. See Primitive Camping page for more information.Accessible boat launches, fishing platforms, and picnic and viewing areas have wheelchair accessible amenities and are accessible by an outdoor access route or accessible trail.Accessible trails have shallow grades, wide tread, and firm compact surfaces of crushed stone, boardwalk, and pavement. Trail access information including trail length, slope, width, and surface type is provided for accessible trails to help hikers select trails that match their interests and abilities.Trail grade, or slope, is described as a percent of rise over run e.g., 1 foot rise over 20 feet run is 5% slope. DEC accessible trails typically have a grade of 2-5% with a width of 3-5 feet and a firm surface of compacted stone; maximum grade of our accessible trails is 12% and minimum width is 3 feet.Outdoor features are subject to storm damage, weathering, and other factors which may result in features temporarily not meeting the standards to which they were constructed. Please check the DEC facility page before your visit for updates and to find contact information for staff who can inform you about site conditions.

In 2016 NYC Parks contracted with the UVM Spatial Analysis Lab to use modern remote sensing and object-based image analysis to create a new wetlands map for New York City. Data inputs include Light Detection and Ranging Data, State and Federal Wetland Inventories, soils, and field data. Because the map was conservative in its wetlands predictions, NYC Parks staff improved the map through a series of desktop and field verification efforts. From June to November 2020, NYC Parks staff field verified the majority of wetlands on NYC Parks' property.

The map will be opportunistically updated depending on available field information and delineations. Another dedicated field verification effort has not been planned. As of June 2021, no subsequent updates to the data are scheduled.

Original field names were updated to field names that are easier to understand.

This dataset was developed to increase awareness regarding the location and extent of wetlands to promote restoration and conservation in New York City. This map does not supersede U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) wetlands maps and has no jurisdictional authority. It should be used alongside NWI and NYSDEC datasets as a resource for identifying likely locations of wetlands in New York City. Mapped features vary in the confidence of their verification status, ranging from "Unverified" (meaning the feature exists in its original remotely mapped form and has not been ground truthed) to "Verified - Wetland Delineation" (meaning the boundaries and type of wetland have been verified during an official wetland delineation). Because of the rapid nature of the protocol and the scale of data collection, this product is not a subsitute for on-site investigations and field delineations. The dataset also includes broad classifications for each wetland type, e.g. estuarine, emergent wetland, forested wetland, shrub/scrub wetland, or water. Cowardin classifcations were not used given rapid verfication methods.

The accuracy of the wetlands map has improved over time as a result of the verification process. Fields were added over time as necessitated by the workflow and values were updated with information, either from the field verifications, delineation reports, or desktop analysis.

To provide a faithful representation of official New York State regulatory freshwater wetlands maps for GIS resource analysis at scales equal to the 1 to 24,000 scale of original mapping or smaller scales (e.g., 1 to 100,000 scale).Regulatory maps consist of mylar versions of New York State Department of Transportation 1 to 24,000 planimetric maps on which wetland boundaries and wetland identification codes are drawn. Planimetric maps are generally congruent with and have the same quad names as United States Geological Survey 7.5 minute topographic maps; a few of the Department of Transportation quads have extended borders. Regulatory wetland maps are prepared by NYSDEC and filed as required by the Freshwater Wetlands Act (Article 24 of the Environmental Conservation Law). Associated with the maps are Classification Sheets that list the Wetlands Identification Code, the municipality in which the wetland occurs and the regulatory class of each wetland. Preparation and filing dates vary by county. As amendments to the official maps occur, the coverages are updated so that the GIS information reflects the regulatory maps currently in use. Archive copies of county coverages with previous versions of the official maps are kept. An important feature of the offical maps is that the lines indicate only "the approximate location of the actual boundaries of the wetlands" (ECL Section 24-0301(3)). For a final determination of the actual location of a wetland it is necessary to contact the NYSDEC office for the region in which the wetland occurs.

This dataset contains only those wetlands regulated by the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act. It does not necessarily contain wetlands regulated by other jurisdictions or unregulated wetlands, nor does it contain tidal wetlands regulated by New York State under the Tidal Wetlands Act (ECL Article 25).This dataset was originally composed of a set of ARC/INFO coverages containing both polygonal and linear features. The Coverages are based on official New York State Freshwater Wetlands Maps as described in Article 24-0301 of the Environmental Conservation Law. Coverages are not, however, a legal substitute for the official maps. Coverages are available on a county basis for all areas of New York State outside the Adirondack Park. The coverage for Columbia County incorporates proposed amendments which became the official regulatory wetland boundaries as of November 30, 2011 and March 5, 2013.An important feature of the official maps is that the lines indicate only "the approximate location of the actual boundaries of the wetlands" (ECL Section 24-0301(3)).

This GIS map of New York State displays election districts and polling places across the state as of 6/12/2025. This information is provided by individual counties to the state and reflects the most current data available. The polling place data is currently reflected for counties with a primary election in the June 24, 2025 election. However, a polling place listed on this page does not indicate an election for the respective jurisdiction and polling places are subject to change. Voters are encouraged to verify whether they have a primary election to vote in and their polling locations by using the NYS Board of Elections Poll Site Lookup tool for the most accurate and up-to-date information. https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/The polling sites (voting locations) are provided as early voting locations (one dataset for NYC and one for the rest of the state (Non NYC)) and election day voting locations (one NYC and one Non NYC). These are based on data collected by the NYS Board of Elections (https://elections.ny.gov/).The election districts dataset is a combination of data from the NYC and County boards of elections. Information and formatting varied with the source; some variation is still present in this data service. Spatially, the districts may not align with districts from neighboring counties or with other reference datasets such as civil boundaries.

Point data locating and differentiating assets on NYSDEC lands. Assets represented as point features are man-made items, which require periodic maintenance or inspection. Examples include: lean-to, parking lot, primitive campsite, pit privy, trail structure, fire tower, scenic vista, picnic site, boat launch, accessible asset, horse stall.

The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) collects and maintains several datasets on the locations, distribution and status of species of plants and animals. Information on distribution by county from the following three databases was extracted and compiled into this dataset. First, the New York Natural Heritage Program biodiversity database: Rare animals, rare plants, and significant natural communities. Significant natural communities are rare or high-quality wetlands, forests, grasslands, ponds, streams, and other types of habitats. Next, the 2nd NYS Breeding Bird Atlas Project database: Birds documented as breeding during the atlas project from 2000-2005. And last, DEC’s NYS Reptile and Amphibian Database: Reptiles and amphibians; most records are from the NYS Amphibian & Reptile Atlas Project (Herp Atlas) from 1990-1999.

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. This LiDAR dataset is a survey of areas of coastal New York, including Long Island, eastern Westchester, and the tidal extents of the Hudson River. The project area consists of approximately 950 square miles. The project design of the LiDAR data acquisition was developed to support a nominal post spacing of 1.0 meter or better (1.0 meter GSD). GMR Aerial Surveys Inc. d/b/a Photo Science, Inc. acquired 740 flight lines in 63 lifts between November 2011 and April 2012, while no snow was on the ground, rivers were at or below normal levels, no strong onshore winds, high waves, floods, or other anomalous weather conditions. Specified areas of the project were collected at a tide stage where water levels are at least 1-foot below mean sea level (MSL). This collection was a joint effort by the NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The data collection was performed with three Cessna 206 single engine aircrafts, utilizing Optech Gemini sensors; collecting multiple return x, y, and z as well as intensity data. The data were classified as Unclassified (1), Ground (2), Low Point (Noise) (7), Water (9), Breakline Edge (10), Withheld (11), Tidal Water (14), Overlap Default (17), and Overlap Ground (18), Overlap Water (25), and Overlap Tidal Water (30). Upon receipt, the NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC), for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes, converted these classifications to the following: 1 - Unclassified 2 - Ground 7 - Low Point (Noise) 9 - Water NOAA tide gauges were used as the basis for flight planning the tidally coordinated areas. Some areas were collected using tidal restraints as listed below: Tidal Wetlands and tributary mouths selected for tidal coordination at Mean Sea Level (MSL) minus 1 foot were: Rondout Creek Outlet; Vanderburg Cove, Moodna Creek, Constitution Marsh, Iona Marsh, Annsville Creek, Croton River Outlet, Marlboro Marsh, Manitou Marsh, Fishkill Creek Outlet, and Wappingers Creek Outlet. The Upper Hudson area from North of Goose Island was also collected to the same specification. Tidal Wetlands and tributary mouths selected for tidal coordination at Mean Sea Level (MSL) were: Haverstraw at Minisceongo Creek and Piedmont Marsh. The remainder of the project area had no tidal restrictions for collection. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications, Photo Science, Inc. established a total of 81 control points that were used to calibrate the LiDAR to known ground locations established throughout the New York project area. Trimble R8-3 GNSS receivers were used to complete the collection. Real Time Kinematic (RTK) survey methodology was typically performed using the New York State Spatial Reference Network (NYSNet), a CORS/Real Time GPS Network. Additionally, control values from various other projects completed by Photo Science in and around the project area, were used as supplemental control points to assist in the calibration of the LiDAR dataset. The dataset was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of UTM NAD83 (NSRS2007), UTM Zone 18, meters and vertical datum of NAVD1988 (GEOID09), meters. Upon receipt, for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes, the NOAA Coastal Services Center converted the data to GRS80 Ellipsoid (GEOID09) heights, to geographic (NAD83, NSRS2007) coordinates, and from las format to laz format. LiDAR data were collected in RAW flightline swath format, processed to create Classified LAS 1.2 Files formatted to 2093 individual 750m x 750m tiles, Hydro Flattening Breaklines in Esri 1.0 meter gridded V-Datum ESRI Grid files formatted to the same 3000m x 3000m tile schema. LiDAR Data was originally delivered to NOAA/Dewberry for quality control validation under Delivery Lots 1 and 2. The lineage (data quality), positional, content (completeness), attribution, logical consistency, and accuracies of all digital elevation data produced conform to the specifications stipulated in NOAA Task Order EA133C11CQ0009 - T011.
