The Cumberland County GIS Data Viewer provides the general public with parcel, zoning, hydrology, soils, utilities and topographic data. You can search for a specific address, street name, parcel number (PIN), or by the owner's name.

Take a self-paced tour through interactive presentations and maps that highlight just how vital GIS is to providing clean water, safe communities, reliable transportation, and environmental responsibility to North Carolina citizens.

The 2022 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. County subdivisions are the primary divisions of counties and their equivalent entities for the reporting of Census Bureau data. They include legally-recognized minor civil divisions (MCDs) and statistical census county divisions (CCDs), and unorganized territories. In MCD states where no MCD exists or no MCD is defined, the Census Bureau creates statistical unorganized territories to complete coverage. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas are covered by county subdivisions. The generalized boundaries of legal MCDs are based on those as of January 1, 2022, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The generalized boundaries of all CCDs, delineated in 21 states, are based on those as reported as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

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.

Please read all of the information below before downloading and using this file. Overview: The purpose of this file is to allow NCDOT employees to track and locate areas that need to be preserved and/or maintained for mitigation credit as part of various permits. They include projects built both off- and onsite throughout the state, as well as projects done as full delivery from consultants and projects partially built or managed by other agencies (e.g. NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program or EEP). The sites in this service are only a portion of the known sites in the state, as the database they were pulled from is a work in progress. These files should not be used or cited in official documents. Feel free to contact us regarding specific sites as we may have more particular information available. We also ask that any information you may have on any sites that are missing data or are omitted be shared with us so we can improve our database. You can access monitoring reports and permits for some sites and projects by clicking the link in the “NCDOT Permits and Monitoring Reports” field (“hypWeblink” from the query results view) and navigating the appropriate page. Full metadata should be included with a download of this file. If not, please contact ddjohnson[at]ncdot.gov and a copy will be provided. You may also download a pdf of the metadata here. We ask that this file not be distributed without metadata. You can find a map containing these data here here. Known Issues: Site Boundaries – The majority of these sites do have a corresponding boundary, and its source would be denoted in the “Boundary Source” field (“BoundSrc” in the query results view). Due to data collection and conversion limitations, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of site boundaries. To assist with gauging the degree of accuracy, the "Boundary Source" field can tell you where the boundary originated. However, it should be noted that even boundaries taken from surveys can misrepresent the site if the boundary shifted during the conversion from CAD formats. We are in the process of reviewing the information we have and making further documentation of available parcel and conservation easement data to cut down on uncertainty where possible. Some locations have been taken from files provided by the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (as noted in the "Boundary Source" field). EEP quality control/quality assurance is on-going. Please contact EEP for the most recent information about specific project areas. Sites whose property documents have been collected and published by EEP will have a link in the “EEP Property Documents” field (“EEP_Folio” from the query results). Status attribute - This refers to the last-known status of a project, which may be only current as of the date the project was entered in the database. A project having a boundary does not mean that it has been completed or that it will be, so be sure to find the current status of any project before making any decisions regarding the area. River Basin - The river basin names and 8-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUCs; called CU or catalog units in the attributes) in these files may differ from what some organizations are using. These are from a boundary file released by CGIA in 2008. Contact Dave Johnson with any questions related to the contents of this service: ddjohnson[at]ncdot.gov 919-707-6130

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The primary legal divisions of most states are termed counties. In Louisiana, these divisions are known as parishes. In Alaska, which has no counties, the equivalent entities are the organized boroughs, city and boroughs, municipalities, and for the unorganized area, census areas. The latter are delineated cooperatively for statistical purposes by the State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four states (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or more incorporated places that are independent of any county organization and thus constitute primary divisions of their states. These incorporated places are known as independent cities and are treated as equivalent entities for purposes of data presentation. The District of Columbia and Guam have no primary divisions, and each area is considered an equivalent entity for purposes of data presentation. The Census Bureau treats the following entities as equivalents of counties for purposes of data presentation: Municipios in Puerto Rico, Districts and Islands in American Samoa, Municipalities in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas is covered by counties or equivalent entities. The boundaries for counties and equivalent entities are as of January 1, 2017, primarily as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS).
