For example, one community may have two commercial districts- Local Commerical and General Commercial. Another community may have three commercial districts- Neighborhood Commercial, Hi-Tech Office, and Retail Commercial. A wide range of uses could be included in these categories, but for the purpose of this feature class, they are all translated into "Commercial/Office." In some cases a category on community's future land use map could not be translated into a single composite category. When this occurred, areas were manually translated into the appropriate generalized category. For example, a Public Lands class on a community's map would be manually translated into the Public/Institutional and Recreation/Conservation composite categories.

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.

Map data that predict the varying likelihood of landsliding can help public agencies make informed decisions on land use and zoning. This map, prepared in a geographic information system from a statistical model, estimates the relative likelihood of local slopes to fail by two processes common to an area of diverse geology, terrain, and land use centered on metropolitan Oakland. The model combines the following spatial data: (1) 120 bedrock and surficial geologic-map units, (2) ground slope calculated from a 30-m digital elevation model, (3) an inventory of 6,714 old landslide deposits (not distinguished by age or type of movement and excluding debris flows), and (4) the locations of 1,192 post-1970 landslides that damaged the built environment. The resulting index of likelihood, or susceptibility, plotted as a 1:50,000-scale map, is computed as a continuous variable over a large area (872 km2) at a comparatively fine (30 m) resolution. This new model complements landslide inventories by estimating susceptibility between existing landslide deposits, and improves upon prior susceptibility maps by quantifying the degree of susceptibility within those deposits. Susceptibility is defined for each geologic-map unit as the spatial frequency (areal percentage) of terrain occupied by old landslide deposits, adjusted locally by steepness of the topography. Susceptibility of terrain between the old landslide deposits is read directly from a slope histogram for each geologic-map unit, as the percentage (0.00 to 0.90) of 30-m cells in each one-degree slope interval that coincides with the deposits. Susceptibility within landslide deposits (0.00 to 1.33) is this same percentage raised by a multiplier (1.33) derived from the comparative frequency of recent failures within and outside the old deposits. Positive results from two evaluations of the model encourage its extension to the 10-county San Francisco Bay region and elsewhere. A similar map could be prepared for any area where the three basic constituents, a geologic map, a landslide inventory, and a slope map, are available in digital form. Added predictive power of the new susceptibility model may reside in attributes that remain to be explored-among them seismic shaking, distance to nearest road, and terrain elevation, aspect, relief, and curvature.
