BY USING THIS WEBSITE OR THE CONTENT THEREIN, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF USE. A spatial representation of parcel history. This polygon feature class is created and maintained through the use of a customized tool for parcel maintenance management. As parcel splits and combinations create child parcels, the parent parcels are saved out to the parcel history feature class. Retired tax parcels have been maintained since 1998. Right of way and alley vacations are also maintained in this feature class. Vacations have been maintained since Spring, 2005. The key attributes include parcel identification number (KeyPIN) and the creation date (RevisionDate).

Provided by local CVTs, the special tax districts were created using legal descriptions, maps, or a list of the tax parcel number located within the special tax district. When no description was provided, the school tax code from the parcel attributes was used. The feature class was based on tax parcels, municipal districts and Oakland County roads. The key attributes are Name (the name of the special tax district) and Type (the type of the special tax district).

The boundaries were digitized based on legal descriptions from the US Postal Service. The date of the legal descriptions is unknown. Zip code areas for which a legal description could not be obtained were digitized using the zip code contained in the site address from the August, 2009 Oakland County tax parcel feature class. The key attribute is Zip.

BY USING THIS WEBSITE OR THE CONTENT THEREIN, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF USE. The primary purpose of this data is to be used by Oakland County Planning and Economic Development Services, other County departments, and and local communities for planning purposes. The two major uses are cartographic output and creating summaries at various spatial extents.

The intent of this feature class was to provide a very general representation of a hard copy 1966 land use map. The spatial accuracy and number of vertices used to represent each feature was limited by the intended purpose of the data.

The land use features were heads-up digitized from a 1966 land use map that was scanned and georefereneced using each section corner as a control point. The features were digitized at a scale not greater than 1:15,000, one square-mile section at a time. After the entire county was completely digitized, the features were dissolved based on the Landuse.

Right-of-Way was burned in to the final feature class using the following process. First, the current RoadCenterline feature class was modifed to reflect roads in 1966 using the scanned 1966 land use map and 1963 orthophotography as a reference. Next, the road lines were buffered at specified distanced based on the RoadCode attribute from RoadCenterline to create polygons. Major Roads were split into two types (Perscriptive Easement and Dedicated) based on if the adjacent property was platted prior to 1966. According to the Oakland County Register of Deeds, in 1966 Oakland County was recording documents in liber 120. For the purpose of this feature class it was assumed that simultaneous conveyances recorded in liber 120 or earlier existed in 1966. Major roads that intersected or were adjacent with these simultaneous conveyances were classified as Dedicated and the remainder of Major Roads were classified as a Perscriptive Easement. The buffer distances, representing half the total Right-of-Way width, used for each road code are listed below:

 Minor Road - 30 feet
 Major Road (Perscriptive Easement) - 33 feet
 Major Road (Dedicated) - 46.5 feet
 State Highway - 46.5 feet

U.S. Highway - 46.5 feet Interstate - 60 feet feet

These Right-of-Way widths generally approximate those that actually existed in 1966 and are not intended to indicate the exact width of a specific Right-of-Way. All areas completely surrounded by Right-of-Way such as between directions of travel of a boulevard or interstate or the area inside of a freeway interchange were manually attributed as Right-of-Way.

Water features were burned in the final feature class using a modified version the of the Oakland County Waterbody feature class.
This data was modified to reflect waterbodies in 1966 using the 1966 land use map and 1963 orthophotography as a reference.

Lastly, the features that intersected community boudaries were split using the Identity tool to increase cartographic and analytic performance.

A spatial representation of Tax Parcels. Key attributes include KeyPIN. The KeyPIN is the unique parcel identification number used to link the tax parcel to the parcel attributes which are stored and maintained in Oakland County land records.

A spatial representation of the local tax authorities. This polygon feature class was derived from the MunicipalDistrict feature class. It differs from the MunicipalDistrict feature class in areas where the tax authority differs from the legal authority. For example, two municipalities may have a 425 agreement in which an annexation does not occur, but the tax authority for certain parcels changes from one municipality to another. Key attributes include the Name (CVT name) and Type (CVT type: city, village, general law township, charter township), and CVTCode (unique code identifying the tax authority).

This polygon feature class represents the spatial extent of surficial geology deposits, glacial and sub-glacial drainage, and historical glacial lake shoreline areas in Oakland County. These features were captured using a combination of a surface TIN derived from 10-foot contours and a detailed original map of Oakland County surficial geology by Twenter and Knutilla, 1972. Polygons were delineated on a hard-copy map by John Zawiskie, Cranbrook geologist. The map was then scanned and registered to Oakland County GIS data. The polygons were digitized on-screen. Data was collected at approximately 1:1200; however the original map was produced at a countywide scale. The key attribute is the geologic sediment type.

The primary business purpose for the development of this data set was to collaborate with the Cranbrook Institute of Science in producing an educational map about the surficial geology of Oakland County at a scale appropriate to Countywide and sub-County applications. Prior work by Farrand and Bell (1982) mapped surficial geology deposits of the entire state; however the data is too coarse to have meaningful application at a county and sub-County scale. An improved data set was created by combining Oakland's detailed digital topography with a more detailed geology map. Secondary business purposes include natural resources planning and environmental analysis. For example, this map was used to create an aquifer vulnerability map analysis as part of a countywide water resources study conducted by the United States Geological Survey.

These features were captured using a combination of a surface TIN derived from 10-foot contours and a detailed original map of Oakland County surficial geology by Twenter and Knutilla, 1972.

Data was collected at approximately 1:1200; however the original map was produced at a countywide scale. Zawiskie QC'd the data through visual inspections of plots, and Nina Misuraca instituted the corrections.

The site address information is associated with each point that has a site address. Every point has a PIN (Parcel Identification Number) value. If there are multiple PINS associated with a particular tax parcel, the points are stacked on top of each other. If there are multiple site addresses associated with one PIN, these are stacked on top of each other as well. The points were created by a process that located the approximate center from the polygon feature class.
