The Parcels (Public) web map provides parcel boundary information for the City of Big Bear Lake, made available for public planning and informational purposes. This version complies with California Assembly Bill AB 1785, which prohibits the publication of parcel owner names and mailing addresses in publicly accessible platforms—therefore, those fields have been redacted. Boundaries are derived from San Bernardino County parcel data and updated periodically, but are not survey-grade and may not reflect the most current assessor or recorded parcel information. For authoritative property details, users should consult the San Bernardino County Assessor’s Office. The City provides this map “as-is” and assumes no liability for errors, omissions, or misuse of the data.Dependent Application: Parcel Viewer

San Bernardino County City Limits current as of November 29, 2023.City limit boundaries are maintained through maps of annexations and detachments by the County of San Bernardino Surveyor's Office. City Limits GIS data stores non-contiguous city polygons as individual polygons. For questions about this dataset, please email opendata@isd.sbcounty.gov.This dataset contains the boundaries of incorporated areas (cities and towns) in San Bernardino County, created from the Cities and Communities feature service.

This dataset includes one file for each of the 51 counties that were collected, as well as a CA_Merged file with the parcels merged into a single file.Note – this data does not include attributes beyond the parcel ID number (PARNO) – that will be provided when available, most likely by the state of California.DownloadA 1.6 GB zipped file geodatabase is available for download - click here.DescriptionA geodatabase with parcel boundaries for 51 (out of 58) counties in the State of California. The original target was to collect data for the close of the 2013 fiscal year. As the collection progressed, it became clear that holding to that time standard was not practical. Out of expediency, the date requirement was relaxed, and the currently available dataset was collected for a majority of the counties. Most of these were distributed with minimal metadata.The table “ParcelInfo” includes the data that the data came into our possession, and our best estimate of the last time the parcel dataset was updated by the original source. Data sets listed as “Downloaded from” were downloaded from a publicly accessible web or FTP site from the county. Other data sets were provided directly to us by the county, though many of them may also be available for direct download. Â These data have been reprojected to California Albers NAD84, but have not been checked for topology, or aligned to county boundaries in any way. Tulare County’s dataset arrived with an undefined projection and was identified as being California State Plane NAD83 (US Feet) and was assigned by ICE as that projection prior to reprojection. Kings County’s dataset was delivered as individual shapefiles for each of the 50 assessor’s books maintained at the county. These were merged to a single feature class prior to importing to the database.The attribute tables were standardized and truncated to include only a PARNO (APN). The format of these fields has been left identical to the original dataset. The Data Interoperablity Extension ETL tool used in this process is included in the zip file. Where provided by the original data sources, metadata for the original data has been maintained. Please note that the attribute table structure changes were made at ICE, UC Davis, not at the original data sources.Parcel Source InformationCountyDateCollecDateCurrenNotesAlameda4/8/20142/13/2014Download from Alamenda CountyAlpine4/22/20141/26/2012Alpine County PlanningAmador5/21/20145/14/2014Amador County Transportation CommissionButte2/24/20141/6/2014Butte County Association of GovernmentsCalaveras5/13/2014Download from Calaveras County, exact date unknown, labelled 2013Contra Costa4/4/20144/4/2014Contra Costa Assessor’s OfficeDel Norte5/13/20145/8/2014Download from Del Norte CountyEl Dorado4/4/20144/3/2014El Dorado County AssessorFresno4/4/20144/4/2014Fresno County AssessorGlenn4/4/201410/13/2013Glenn County Public WorksHumboldt6/3/20144/25/2014Humbodt County AssessorImperial8/4/20147/18/2014Imperial County AssessorKern3/26/20143/16/2014Kern County AssessorKings4/21/20144/14/2014Kings CountyLake7/15/20147/19/2013Lake CountyLassen7/24/20147/24/2014Lassen CountyLos Angeles10/22/201410/9/2014Los Angeles CountyMadera7/28/2014Madera County, Date Current unclear likely 7/2014Marin5/13/20145/1/2014Marin County AssessorMendocino4/21/20143/27/2014Mendocino CountyMerced7/15/20141/16/2014Merced CountyMono4/7/20144/7/2014Mono CountyMonterey5/13/201410/31/2013Download from Monterey CountyNapa4/22/20144/22/2014Napa CountyNevada10/29/201410/26/2014Download from Nevada CountyOrange3/18/20143/18/2014Download from Orange CountyPlacer7/2/20147/2/2014Placer CountyRiverside3/17/20141/6/2014Download from Riverside CountySacramento4/2/20143/12/2014Sacramento CountySan Benito5/12/20144/30/2014San Benito CountySan Bernardino2/12/20142/12/2014Download from San Bernardino CountySan Diego4/18/20144/18/2014San Diego CountySan Francisco5/23/20145/23/2014Download from San Francisco CountySan Joaquin10/13/20147/1/2013San Joaquin County Fiscal year close dataSan Mateo2/12/20142/12/2014San Mateo CountySanta Barbara4/22/20149/17/2013Santa Barbara CountySanta Clara9/5/20143/24/2014Santa Clara County, Required a PRA requestSanta Cruz2/13/201411/13/2014Download from Santa Cruz CountyShasta4/23/20141/6/2014Download from Shasta CountySierra7/15/20141/20/2014Sierra CountySolano4/24/2014Download from Solano Couty, Boundaries appear to be from 2013Sonoma5/19/20144/3/2014Download from Sonoma CountyStanislaus4/23/20141/22/2014Download from Stanislaus CountySutter11/5/201410/14/2014Download from Sutter CountyTehama1/16/201512/9/2014Tehama CountyTrinity12/8/20141/20/2010Download from Trinity County, Note age of data 2010Tulare7/1/20146/24/2014Tulare CountyTuolumne5/13/201410/9/2013Download from Tuolumne CountyVentura11/4/20146/18/2014Download from Ventura CountyYolo11/4/20149/10/2014Download from Yolo CountyYuba11/12/201412/17/2013Download from Yuba County

This ownership dataset utilizes a methodology that results in a federal ownership extent that matches the Federal Responsibility Areas (FRA) footprint from CAL FIRE's State Responsibility Areas for Fire Protection (SRA) data. FRA lands are snapped to county parcel data, thus federal ownership areas will also be snapped. Since SRA Fees were first implemented in 2011, CAL FIRE has devoted significant resources to improve the quality of SRA data. This includes comparing SRA data to data from other federal, state, and local agencies, an annual comparison to county assessor roll files, and a formal SRA review process that includes input from CAL FIRE Units. As a result, FRA lands provide a solid basis as the footprint for federal lands in California (except in the southeastern desert area). The methodology for federal lands involves:

This shapefile contains tax rate area (TRA) boundaries in San Bernardino County for the specified assessment roll year. Boundary alignment is based on the 2010 county parcel map. A tax rate area (TRA) is a geographic area within the jurisdiction of a unique combination of cities, schools, and revenue districts that utilize the regular city or county assessment roll, per Government Code 54900. Each TRA is assigned a six-digit numeric identifier, referred to as a TRA number. TRA = tax rate area number

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual- chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the State Plane projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

This is SCAG 2019 Regional Land Use dataset developed for the final 2024 Connect SoCal, the 2024-2050 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), including general plan land use, specific plan land use, zoning code, and existing land use at parcel-level (approximately five million parcels) for 197 local jurisdictions in the SCAG region.The regional land use dataset is developed (1) to aid in SCAG’s regional transportation planning, scenario planning and growth forecasting, (2) facilitate policy discussion on various planning issues, and (3) enhance information database to better serve SCAG member jurisdictions, research institutes, universities, developers, general public, etc. It is the most frequently and widely utilized SCAG geospatial data. From late 2019 to early 2020, SCAG staff obtained the 2019 parcel boundary GIS file and tax roll property information from county assessor’s offices. After months of data standardization and clean-up process, SCAG staff released the 2019 parcel boundary GIS files along with the 2019 Annual Land Use dataset in February 2021. In December 2021, SCAG staff successfully developed the preliminary dataset of the 2019 regional land use data and released the draft SCAG Data/Map Book in May 2022. The preliminary land use data was reviewed by local jurisdictions during the Local Data Exchange (LDX) process for Connect SoCal 2024. As a part of the final 2019 regional land use data development process, SCAG staff made every effort to review the local jurisdictions’ inputs and comments and incorporated any updates to the regional land use datasets. The products of this project has been used as one of the key elements for Connect SoCal 2024 plan development, growth forecasting, scenario planning, and SCAG’s policy discussion on various planning issues, as well as Connect SoCal key growth strategy analysis.Note: This dataset is intended for planning purposes only, and SCAG shall incur no responsibility or liability as to the completeness, currentness, or accuracy of this information.

This geodatabase contains all of the map information used to publish the Surficial Geologic Map of the Owlshead Mountains 30’ X 60’ Quadrangle,Inyo and San Bernardino Counties, California: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map SIM-3496. The geodatabase and associated map delineate primarily surficial geology and neotectonics structure across the entire extent of this quadrangle, which includes 32 complete 7.5’ quadrangles located in the Owlshead Mountains, southern Death Valley, and adjoining basins and highlands in the southwestern section of Inyo County and the northeastern part of San Bernardino County in eastern California. The datasets contained in this Scientific Investigation Map describe the surficial geology within the entire map area of the Owlshead Mountains (OM) 30' X 60' Quadrangle. The geodatabase and associated geologic map delineate primarily surficial geology and neotectonics structure across the entire extent of this quadrangle, which includes 32 complete 7.5' quadrangles located in the southwestern section of Inyo County and the northeastern part of San Bernardino County in eastern California. The map encompasses a sparsely populated area that includes the southeastern corner of Death Valley National Park (DVNP) and the northeastern corner of the Fort Irwin Military Reservation, with a complex intermixture of public lands, mostly with the U. S. Bureau of Land Management, interspersed with many small scattered private holdings (mostly ranch land) and the few small municipalities of Shoshone and Tecopa. The map area encompasses a complex and diverse physiographic area dominated by the prominent feature of southern Death Valley (SDV), which is a major wide, continuous, and deep topographic trough that curves south and southeastward through the center map before connecting into the broad lowland areas of Valjean and Silurian Valleys in the eastern and southeastern map corner. The SDV trough is bounded on the northeast by the mountainous crest of the southern Black Mountains which merges northeastward into a series of north- to northeast-trending ranges and intervening valleys including Tecopa, Chicago, and southern California Valleys and the southern Resting Springs and Nopah Ranges. To the west and southwest of SDV lie the southern highlands of the Panamint Range, and Owlshead, Avawatz, and northern Granite Mountains, surrounding the linear east-trending valley of Leach Lake basin on the southwest corner of the map. The map and geodatabase for the Owlshead Mountains quadrangle was generated entirely from data originated by the database authors based primarily on new systematic photointerpretation supported by field traverses in selected areas. The geodatabase catalogues the complex geology and tectonic features responsible for producing this complex terrain. The map emphasizes spatial patterns of Quaternary sedimentation, erosion, and active deformation affecting landscape evolution in the area. Key elements of the map are a complex suite of (a) over 170 aggradational single and composite surficial units classified by both geologic age and genetic process (e.g., alluvial- and debris-flow fan, wash, axial valley, eolian, playa, lacustrine, groundwater discharge, and mass-wasting deposits,) and (b) degradational units (pediment surfaces). The surficial units overlie a generalized set of pre-Quaternary map units recognized for their potential relevance to physical and genetic attributes of the Quaternary deposits. The map also identifies an array of faults and folds, including several fault-related folds, that are differentiated by geometry and (or) slip type. Map compilation efforts emphasized the systematic depiction of surficial units and structures essential to time-space interpretations of deposition and dissection, surface-drainage evolution, and neotectonic deformation across this region. The mapped distribution and age of alluvial and fluvial deposits clearly define spatial and temporal patterns of deposition, mainly concentrated in the central trough of SDV, that contrast with areas in adjoining highlands where drainage incision is persistent. These data provide input to time-space reconstructions of regional drainages such as the lower Amargosa River. Mapped traces of faults and folds define complex and widespread neotectonic deformation centered in SDV and areas to the south and west. Active deformation is characterized by: (a) three to four regional sets of commonly intersecting dextral and sinistral translational faults (including the SDV and eastern Garlock faults); (b) zones of contraction (thrust faults and associated folds, transpressive structures, and fold belts) and uplift commonly concentrated at major fault intersections, and (c) zones of downwarping and uplift that form many of the basinal troughs (e.g. SDV) and adjoining highlands.

The data set for the Cougar Buttes quadrangle has been prepared by the Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP), a cooperative project sponsored jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology, as part of an ongoing effort to utilize a Geographical Information System (GIS) format to create a regional digital geologic database for southern California. This regional database is being developed as a contribution to the National Geologic Map Data Base of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS. Development of the data set for the Cougar Buttes quadrangle has also been supported by the Mojave Water Agency and U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest.

The digital geologic map database for the Cougar Buttes quadrangle has been created as a general-purpose data set that is applicable to other land-related investigations in the earth and biological sciences. In cooperation with the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, we have used our mapping in the Cougar Buttes and adjoining quadrangles together with well log data to develop a hydrogeologic framework for the basin. In an effort to understand surficial processes and to provide a base suitable for ecosystem assessment, we have differentiated surficial veneers on piedmont and pediment surfaces and distinguished the various substrates found beneath these veneers. Currently, the geologic database for the Cougar Buttes quadrangle is being applied in groundwater investigations in the Lucerne Valley basin (USGS, Water Resources Division), in biological species studies of the Cushenbury Canyon area (U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest), and in the study of soils on various Quaternary landscape surfaces on the north piedmont of the San Bernardino Mountains (University of New Mexico). The Cougar Buttes database is not suitable for site-specific geologic evaluations at scales greater than 1:24,000 (1 in = 2,000 ft).

This data set maps and describes the geology of the Cougar Buttes 7.5' quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California. Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the data base consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage showing geologic contacts and units, (2) a separate coverage layer showing structural data, (3) a scanned topographic base at a scale of 1:24,000, and (4) attribute tables for geologic units (polygons), contacts (arcs), and site-specific data (points). The data base is accompanied by a readme file and this metadata file. In addition, the data set includes the following graphic and text products: (1) A portable document file (.pdf) containing a browse-graphic of the geologic map on a 1:24,000 topographic base. The map is accompanied by a marginal explanation consisting of a Description of Map Units (DMU), a Correlation of Map Units (CMU), and a key to point and line symbols. (2) Separate .pdf files of the DMU and CMU, individually. (3) A PostScript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map on a 1:24,000 topographic base accompanied by the marginal explanation. (4) A pamphlet that summarizes the late Cenozoic geology of the Cougar Buttes quadrangle.

The geologic map data base contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs, including low-altitude color and black-and-white photographs and high-altitude infrared photographs. The map was created by transferring lines from the aerial photographs to a 1:24,000 topographic base via a mylar orthophoto-quadrangle or by using a PG-2 plotter. The map was then scribed, scanned, and imported into ARC/INFO, where the database was built. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units as polygons, and site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum and link it to other tables (.rel) that provide more detailed geologic information.

This data set maps and describes the geology of the Fifteenmile Valley 7.5' quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California. Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the data base consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage containing geologic contacts and units, (2) attribute tables for geologic units (polygons), contacts (arcs), and site-specific data (points). In addition, the data set includes the following graphic and text products: (1) A PostScript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map, topography, cultural data, a Correlation of Map Units (CMU) diagram, a Description of Map Units (DMU), an index map, a regional geologic and structure map, and a key for point and line symbols; (2) PDF files of this Readme (including the metadata file as an appendix), Description of Map Units (DMU), and a screen graphic of the plot produced by the PostScript plot file. The geologic map covers the northernmost part of the San Bernardino Mountains and the southern Granite Mountains. These two bedrock areas are separated by the wide, alluviated Fifteenmile Valley. Bedrock units in the San Bernardino Mountains are dominated by large Cretaceous granitic bodies ranging in composition from monzogranite to gabbro, and include lesser Triassic monzonite. The Granite Mountains are underlain chiefly by large Triassic monzonite bodies, and in the western part, by Cretaceous and possibly Jurassic monzogranite to monzodiorite. Spanning the Pleistocene in age, large alluvial fans, flank the north side of the San Bernardino Mountains, and are dominated by debris flow deposits. The central part of Fifteenmile Valley is covered by fine grained alluvial material deposited by streams flowing into Rabbit Lake and an unnamed dry lake in the northwestern part of the quadrangle. Young, south dipping reverse faults, some with moderately to well eroded fault scarps, discontinuously flank the northern edge of the San Bernardino Mountains. Young and old high-angle faults are mapped within both the San Bernardino and Granite Mountains. The geologic map database contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs. The map was compiled on a base-stable cronoflex copy of the Fifteenmile Valley 7.5' topographic base and then scribed. This scribe guide was used to make a 0.007 mil blackline clear-film, which was scanned at 1200 DPI by Optronics Specialty Company, Northridge, California; minor hand-digitized additions were made at the USGS. Lines, points, and polygons were subsequently edited at the USGS using standard ARC/INFO commands. Digitizing and editing artifacts significant enough to display at a scale of 1:24,000 were corrected. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units as polygons, and site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum.
