The township boundary is used by Magistrates in York County SC to determine the jurisdiction of civil cases. Civil cases should (typically) be filed in the jurisdiction where the defendant/ plaintiff resides due to servicing (to prevent someone from driving across the county to be assisted with a court matter). Plaintiffs/ defendants have a right to have their case heard in their own township by a potential jury of their own peers. (Of note, Magistrate lines don’t match up with township lines. Magistrate lines may not be useful if the judges have countywide jurisdiction.) Square Miles area was added as a calculated attribute (Arcade, AreaGeodetic) Feb 2022 by request.As of 9/2023 Magistrate lines are not used. Instead, township lines are used to determine areas represented by Judge. Some judges cover over more than one township and city in parenthesis is the town where the office is located:

York County is divided into five geographical areas called townships. There is one Judge for each of the townships. The Townships are: (office location in parenthesis): Bethel-Kings Mountain (Clover), Broad River-Bullocks Creek (Hickory Grove), Catawba-Ebenezer (Rock Hill), Fort Mill (Fort Mill), York-Bethesda (York).

The primary use is for e911 public safety dispatch, if a call comes in the dispatcher can review this layer as a guide to look up and then call the provider to have electricity turned off. In January 2022, electric companies (York Electric and Rock Hill) provided indication of service by parcel (presence of an electric meter). The Duke Energy parcels were selected from those unassigned by the other providers, but within the service area regions they provided May 2022. This layer was last updated June 8, 2022 using the more accurate data provided by Duke Energy. Fields were reworked in 2022. There is now a secondary provider attribute that can be populated to suggest the alternative provider for a region, when the area is unknown. This was provided based on the region, for example, if near Rock Hill, the providers might be CRH / YEC / DUKE, if elsewhere, YEC/DUKE are the probable providers. The only exception is the lower left corner near the Broad River, which is Lockhart Power.There may be a small number of properties that are served by multiple service providers, however these are unknown. YEC suggests these are large properties and maybe no more than 3.Annexations in the City of Rock Hill with empty lots become Rock Hill customers. If Rock Hill annexes Duke Energy customers, they remain with Duke Energy. Providers don't appear to communicate between each other about their areas of service. Service areas don’t appear to be regulated.Future updates should take place yearly or at every two years based on the amount of growth.Future updates could focus on areas unknown or may use a different methodology.A note about the Duke Energy Service Area:Duke Energy's Service Area in York County was derived by buffering all of the primary and secondary distribution conductors by 300ft. That buffer was then used to select parcels that intersect with the buffer. Lastly, those selected parcels were dissolved into a single polygon layer and a single record. This process was generated on 5/25/2022. The data product was reviewed internally and released. The information product provided by Duke Energy is not presented in this data, instead it was used to select parcels within the areas provided and assign those as being served by the provider.++++Description last updated 6/8/22++++Access the file geodatabase source data in SC State Plane coordinate system

Road segments within this layer represent centerlines of public and private (not gated) roadways. Road segments define left (_L) and right (_R) side attributes and address ranges along the segment. Additional attribute information may include:The full street name ST_DIR_NAM;the city or zip community [POSTCOMM_L]; The ZIP code POSTCODE_L; The jurisdiction (Incorporated Municipality) the segment is within [INCMUNI_L];The functional classification [F_CLASS] used; (ex: Interstate, Major Collector, Minor Arterial, Local)The route number [RT_NUM] containing a county road or highway number;The road maintenance provider or construction status [ST_OWNER];Fields used in routing [MPH, ONEWAY, _ELEV, _IM] and; the date that the road segment was created [DATE_CREATED] and last edited [DATE_MODIFIED].This information is was originally compiled from orthophotography in 2001 for use in Public Safety e911 response. Today it is used throughout the County and by the public to conduct business and assist in decision making.County and City staff update records daily or as needed (such as through subdivision plan review and approval using georeferenced CAD files provided by land developers). The road centerlines support address geocoding, analysis, routing and mapping.The centerline represents the geographic location on the roadway between both shoulders (physical center), which often, but not always coincides with the center painted line dividing bi-directional travel lanes. Roadway centerline data plays an important role in transportation management and planning, while also being the basis for all other roadway-related data products.This feature service is updated daily from its source ArcGIS Enterprise feature class. Source data within an Enterprise Geodatabase is accessed by County and City of Rock Hill staff through ArcGIS Server and Portal. When edited, business rules are enforced by BCS theAddresser software. York County has an Address Manual used by staff and stakeholders to ensure quality and standards are adhered to during maintenance and use.For additional information about county maintained roadways, review the County Road Inventory data or search for data through One Map. County staff maintain the relationship between streets and the County Road Inventory through the RT_NUM field. The street ownership [ST_OWNER] designation serves as a source to determine the maintenance provider by municipal public works agencies who actively manage the road assets. SCDOT roadways can be confirmed by reviewing data within their lookup application or their source data within our One Map application.Railroads are contained within the streets feature class to enable cross street lookup (geodcoding), a requirement for e911 dispatchers.Street segments outside the county are present for cartographic and Public Safety dispatch of nearest vehicle (routing) purposes. These can be filtered out and removedAddressing data (streets and addresses) are used to update the US Census Bureau Tiger data in support of the decennial census. As of October 2022, the schema of these data are compatible with NG911. Previous schema remains as of January 2023 with intent to remove fields tentatively planned for 2024. Review the schema field mapping document (PDF) to gain a better understanding of field mapping used to transition these data to NG911 standards. Continuing NG911 compliance projects include splitting the centerline as they cross the city limit. To assist York County, South Carolina in the maintenance of the data, please provide any information concerning discovered errors, omissions, or other discrepancies found in the data.
