Its county seat is Washington Court House. Fayette County was formed on March 1, 1810 from portions of Highland County and Ross County. It was named after Marie-Joseph Motier, Marquis de La Fayette, a French general and politician who took the side of the Colonials during the American Revolutionary War and who played an important role in the French Revolution.Fayette County is a part of the Virginia Military survey, which was reserved in 1783, to be allotted to Virginia soldiers. This district includes the entire counties of Adams, Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Highland, Fayette, Madison and Union; and a portion of the counties of Scioto, Pike, Ross, Pickaway, Franklin, Delaware, Marion, Hardin, Logan, Champaign, Clarke, Greene, Warren and Hamilton.Fayette County was formed January 19, 1810 (took effect March 1st) from Ross and Highland counties. Beginning at the southwest corner of Pickaway, running north “with the line of said county to the corner of Madison; thence west with the line of said Madison county to the line of Greene county; thence south with the line of Greene county to the southeast corner thereof; thence east five miles; thence south to the line of Highland county; thence east with said line to Paint Creek; thence in a straight line to the beginning.” All the lower portion was taken from Highland and the upper from Ross.The first portion of land entered within the territory of what is now Fayette county, was a part of original surveys Nos. 243 and 772, lying partly in Clinton county. The first survey lying wholly within Fayette county was No. 463, in what is now Madison township, surveyed for Thomas Overton by John O’Bannon June 30, 1776.The original townships were Jefferson, Greene, Wayne, Madison, Paint and Union. Concord township was formed in April 1818, from Greene. Marion township was formed in June, 1840 from Madison. Perry township was formed June 4, 1845, from Wayne and Greene. Jasper township was formed from Jefferson and Concord December 2, 1845.Washington C.H. was laid out originally on a part of entry 757, which contained 1200 acres and belonged to Benjamin Temple, of Logan county, Kentucky, who donated 150 acres to Fayette county, on condition that it be used as the site of the county seat. The deed of conveyance was made December 1, 1810, by Thomas S. Hind, attorney for Temple, to Robert Stewart, who was appointed by the legislature as director for the town of Washington. The town was laid off some time between December 1, 1810, and February 26, 1811, the latter being the date of the record of the town plat.Bloomingburg (originally called New Lexington) was laid out in 1815, by Solomon Bowers, and originally contained 34 and ¾ acres. On March 4, 1816, Bowers laid out and added twenty more lots. The name of the town was later changed to Bloomingburg by act of the legislature. The town was incorporated by act of the legislature, February 5, 1847.Jeffersonville was laid out March 1, 1831, by Walter B. Write and Chipman Robinson, on 100 acres of land belonging to them, they started selling the lots at $5 each. The town incorporated March 17, 1838. The first house was erected by Robert Wyley.The first railroad, now the C. & M. V., was completed in 1852; the second, now the Detroit Southern, in 1875; the third, now the C.H. & D. in 1879; and the fourth, now the B. & O. S. W., in 1884.The first permanent settler (probably) was a Mr. Wolf who settled in what is now Wayne township, in about the year 1796. - Circa 1886 - Map of Fayette County, Ohio.

TwitterThe 2019 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), statistical census subareas (in Alaska), and unorganized territories. For the 2010 Census, MCDs are the primary governmental and/or administrative divisions of counties in 29 states and Puerto Rico; Tennessee changed from having CCDs for Census 2000 to having MCDs for the 2010 Census. In MCD states where no MCD exists or is not 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 boundaries of most legal MCDs are as of January 1, 2019, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The boundaries of all statistical county subdivisions (CCDs and census subareas), delineated in 21 states, are those as reported as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2010 Census.

Download .zipThis theme shows the county boundaries for the State of Ohio. Boundaries were assembled from individual USGS Quadrangle digital line graph files (dlg) of the boundary layer (bd). These files were obtained from the GIS Support Center, Ohio Department of Administrative Services and were originally prepared by the Ohio State University Center for Mapping in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey with additional funding from several state agencies and other groups. These files were augmented in a few instances with hand digitizing where small missing line segments were found. The Lake Erie shoreline and islands in Lake Erie were added from the Hydrography layer (hy). It should be noted that because the quadrangles used varied over a wide rangle of years this line does not represent a particular water level and is for illustrative purposes only. For example there is a wide offset between the shoreline on the Metzger Marsh Quadrangle and that of the Oak Harbor Quadrangle. This distance is so large that no attempt was made to edgematch the two quadrangles. The line connecting the two shorelines represents the quadrangle boundary. For the purposes of this map Sandusky Bay and Muddy Creek Bay were included as a part of Lake Erie. The Lake Erie shoreline is not meant to represent any Lake Erie shoreline which may be used for regulatory puposes. An updated boundary for Fairfield-Licking-Perry Counties within Buckeye Lake was included by digitizing the boundary from a more recently updated quadrangle map. Conversion from the dlg format to ArcInfo was accomplished using ArcInfo software in conjuction with an AML program to adjust the quadrangles so that their corners fall on the exact coordinates of the quadrangle corners. Due to the way in wihich coordinates are stored in the dlg's there is some variation in the quadrangle corner coordinates.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesOffice of Information TechnologyGIS Records2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

TwitterThe Auditor Books and Pages layer shows the boundaries of the Hamilton County Auditor's Tax Maps Book and Page. These maps act as an index to show property (parcels) throughout Hamilton County, Ohio. The Book numbers correspond to the villages, cities, and townships in the county and are further subdivided into page numbers for each distinct map.
Up until the advent of G.I.S. technology these individual maps were maintained by the Hamilton County Engineer in large books.
Each property in Hamilton County is assigned a parcel number. The first characters of a parcel number reflect the Book and Page to which it belongs.

TwitterThis parcel polygon layer is the primary parcel layer used with Stark County, Ohio. The parcel boundaries are maintained by the Stark County Auditor Office (SCAO) Tax Map Department. The SCAO uses a Computer-Assisted mass Appraisal (CAMA) database to maintain and store data on properties throughout the county. This data includes market valuations, property owners and addresses, and a variety of other information. This layer combines the parcel boundaries and the CAMA data using a SQL view. There are a number of other layers publicly-available by the county that include other combinations of parcel boundaries and background attribute data.For foreclosure data, see Historic Foreclosures.For the market values of properties, see Market Values.For historic parcel sales, see Parcel Sales.

TwitterThis resource is a member of a series. 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) System (MTS). The MTS 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. County subdivisions are the primary divisions of counties and 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 is not 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 boundaries of most legal MCDs are as of January 1, 2024, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The boundaries of all CCDs are those as reported as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

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. The cartographic boundary files include both incorporated places (legal entities) and census designated places or CDPs (statistical entities). An incorporated place is established to provide governmental functions for a concentration of people as opposed to a minor civil division (MCD), which generally is created to provide services or administer an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places always nest within a state, but may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. CDPs are delineated for the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. The boundaries for CDPs often are defined in partnership with state, local, and/or tribal officials and usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity. CDP boundaries often change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern and development; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. The only population/housing size requirement for CDPs is that they must contain some housing and population. The generalized boundaries of most incorporated places in this file 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 CDPs are based on those delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

Download .zipThis ground-water resources theme shows an estimate of sustainable yield available from the aquifers in the area. It was digitized from a paper county map with a scale of 1:63360.
Digitizing used run length encoding techniques, sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 ft. The horizontal measurement increment along these lines was one decafoot (10 feet). Additional details of the digitizing process are available on request. The coverage was subsequently converted to an Arc/Info vector format.
A revised version of this map has been completed and is available in hard copy from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water.

TwitterThe United States Public Land Survey (PLS) divided land into one square
mile units, termed sections. Surveyors used trees to locate section corners
and other locations of interest (witness trees). As a result, a systematic
ecological dataset was produced with regular sampling over a large region
of the United States, beginning in Ohio in 1786 and continuing westward.
We digitized and georeferenced archival hand drawn maps of these witness
trees for 27 counties in Ohio. This dataset consists of a GIS point
shapefile with 11,925 points located at section corners, recording 26,028
trees (up to four trees could be recorded at each corner). We retain species
names given on each archival map key, resulting in 70 unique species common
names. PLS records were obtained from hand-drawn archival maps of original
witness trees produced by researchers at The Ohio State University in the
1960’s. Scans of these maps are archived as “The Edgar Nelson Transeau Ohio
Vegetation Survey” at The Ohio State University: http://hdl.handle.net/1811/64106.

Download .zipThis coverage represents individual ditch projects and their corresponding watersheds as provided by the Fulton County Engineer's Office.
This coverage was digitized from data drafted onto USGS quadrangle maps utilizing a run length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these lines was one decafoot (10 ft.) The quadrangle files were then merged into a county file which was subsequently converted to ARC/ INFO format.
The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the ditch boundaries as drafted and due to the nature of the raster digitizing process employed at that time the ditches themselves are represented as somewhat discontinuous polygons.

Download .zipA soil mapping unit designates a specific type of soil which has unique characteristics including texture, slope, and erosion class.
These soils were digitized from the paper final soil survey sheets. Originally these soils were numbered as part of a combination of soil surveys in Logan, Union and Champaign Counties. In order to cut down on the size of the matrix some soils were combined. In these soils several areas which would be normally considered not rated for most items in the soil survey were combined. Items combined include water, quarries, and sand and gravel pits. These sheets were taped together to form an area covering each of the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps in the county. The areas for each quadrangle were then digitized using run-length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these lines was one decafoot (10 feet). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county file which has subsequently been converted to Arc/Info format.
The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the soil survey and should not be used for site specific analysis.

TwitterFor zoning with symbology based on each individual community's zoning map, see Stark County Communities Zoning. This layer was originally conceived as part of a general zoning map for 12 counties across Northeast Ohio. The project was headed by the Northeast Ohio Sustainable Communities Consortium (NEOSCC), with the final map being produced by the Stark County Regional Planning Commission (SCRPC). SCRPC worked with Stark County's cities and villages to obtain zoning data they maintained and then completed the layer by digitizing zoning data for the county's townships with zoning resolutions (some of Stark County's townships and villages are not zoned). Once that project was completed in 2013, SCRPC continued to update zoning data for the townships. City and village data was appended to the layer when provided by those communities.This layer was revamped in 2022 to provide additional capabilities. A field for general zoning was added to show generalized zones to eliminate the need to symbolize by the hundreds of zones across the county. Information for what chapter/section was added, along with hyperlinks to those sections in the codified ordinances and zoning resolutions for communities with that information online. The symbology for the generalized zones were inspired by the American Planning Association's (APA) Land Based Classification Standards (LBCS).
