This dataset is composed of the entire City of Philadelphia's parcels based on their legal descriptions.

Check out the Philadelphia Vacant Property Indicators Viewer application.View metadata for key information about this dataset.For these layers, blocks are considered contiguous parcels using Philadelphia Water Department's parcel dataset. Properties likely to be vacant are measured using the composite vacancy rank from the Vacant Property Indicators Model.There are two related output GIS layers of the model: Vacant Property Indicators by Block - Building and Vacant Property Indicators by Block - Land.For questions about this dataset or for technical assistance, email maps@phila.gov.

View metadata for key information about this dataset.This layer was created from the DOR_PARCELS layer in 2005 after it was decided that none of the other City parcel layers could meet the needs of PWD’s stormwater billing program. Those needs are generally that the parcel delineations match up to what people actually own, that there is an accurate assessment of the impervious area on the parcel, and that there is owner information associated with the parcel. Over the past 5 years, PWD has made corrections based off deeds on file with DOR, BRT information, and other City records. PWD also matched up each DOR parcel to a corresponding BRT record that contained the owner information for that parcel.For questions about this dataset, contact jonathan.szczesniak@phila.gov.

The Greater Philadelphia GeoHistory Network contains geographic materials connected to the history of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the City of Philadelphia. The available resources include aerial photographs, city directories, atlases, surveys, property maps, topographical maps, and transportation maps. An interactive map viewer enables users to view layers of historic maps at various transparencies in conjunction with a current streets overlay. The historic maps in the map viewer are available as tile services for appropriate projects - contact the project for further information.

This dataset is an input to several tutorials for the software package an UNcertain Structure and Fragility Ensemble (UNSAFE) framework for property-level flood risk esimation. We upload this dataset as this persistent and unique link so that the UNSAFE examples are easier to follow, as the original data is only available at a URL.

This dataset was obtained in April, 2024 on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center: Welcome landing page. We clicked on Search All Products (highlighted in blue just below "Looking for more than just a current flood map?" and searched for Product ID FRD_02040202_PA_GeoTIFFs. Alternatively, one can search under "Jurisdiction" for PENNSYLVANIA -> PHILADELPHIA COUNTY -> PHILADELPHIA COUNTY ALL JURISDICTIONS and then click "Search." As of April of 2024 the corresponding directories were named "Effective Products," "Preliminary Products," "Pending Product," "Historic Products," and "Flood Risk Products." We clicked on Flood Risk Products -> Flood Risk Database and then download the GeoTIFFs file. This dataset was posted on 08/01/2016 and is 2190MB.

About the G.M. Hopkins Maps

History and Background of the Maps

Maps produced by the G.M. Hopkins Company have made a lasting impression on the boundaries of many American cities. Between 1870 and 1940, the company produced over 175 atlases and real estate plat maps that primarily covered the Eastern sea board, including cities, counties, and townships in 18 different states and the District of Columbia. In the early years, the company produced county atlases, but gradually focused on city plans and atlases. They were among the first publishers to create a cadastral atlas, a cross between a fire insurance plat and a county atlas prevalent in the 1860s-1870s. These real estate or land ownership maps (also known as plat maps) not only depict property owners, but show lot and block numbers, dimensions, street widths, and other buildings and landmarks, including churches, cemeteries, mills, schools, roads, railroads, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams.

Originally named the G.M. Hopkins and Company, the map-making business was jointly founded in 1865 in Philadelphia, Pa., by the Hopkins brothers, G.M. and Henry. The true identity of G.M. Hopkins remains somewhat of a mystery even today. “G.M.” either stands for Griffith Morgan or George Morgan. There are three different possibilities for the confusion over his identity. “Either the compilers of the earlier [city] directories were negligent; G.M. Hopkins changed his first name; or there were two G.M. Hopkins (father and son) working for the same firm” (Moak, Jefferson M. Philadelphia Mapmakers. Philadelphia: Shackamaxon Society, 1976, p. 258).
