Law Enforcement StructuresThis feature layer, utilizing National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), displays police and prison landmarks in the U.S. Per the USGS, "Structures data are designed to be used in general mapping and in the analysis of structure related activities using geographic information system technology. The National Map structures data is commonly combined with other data themes, such as boundaries, elevation, hydrography, and transportation, to produce general reference base maps. The types of structures collected are largely determined by the needs of disaster planning and emergency response, and homeland security organizations."Data currency: This cached Esri federal service is checked weekly for updates from its enterprise federal source (Law Enforcement) and will support mapping, analysis, data exports and OGC API – Feature access.Data.gov: USGS National Structures Dataset - USGS National Map Downloadable Data CollectionGeoplatform: USGS National Structures Dataset - USGS National Map Downloadable Data CollectionFor more information, please visit: The National MapFor feedback please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comNGDA Data SetThis data set is part of the NGDA Real Property Theme Community. Per the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), Real Property is defined as "the spatial representation (location) of real property entities, typically consisting of one or more of the following: unimproved land, a building, a structure, site improvements and the underlying land. Complex real property entities (that is "facilities") are used for a broad spectrum of functions or missions. This theme focuses on spatial representation of real property assets only and does not seek to describe special purpose functions of real property such as those found in the Cultural Resources, Transportation, or Utilities themes."For other NGDA Content: Esri Federal Datasets

Structures data are designed to be used in general mapping and in the analysis of structure related activities using geographic information system technology. Included is a feature class of preliminary building polygons provided by FEMA, USA Structures. The National Map structures data is commonly combined with other data themes, such as boundaries, elevation, hydrography, and transportation, to produce general reference base maps. The National Map viewer allows free downloads of public domain structures data in either Esri File Geodatabase or Shapefile formats.

In 2015-2016, the Ohio Division of Wildlife’s undercover law enforcement purchased 1,200 Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Fish heads and eyeballs were sent overnight to U.S. Geological Survey Wetland and Aquatic Research Center for ploidy analysis. Field and laboratory standard operating procedures were established and followed. Fish lengths, fish weights, and eyeball weights were obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s feral carp ploidy program for grass carp and black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) and the Ohio grass carp. Internal 2µm or 4µm bead standards were used in establishing nuclear sizes from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), known diploid (n=20) and triploid (n=20) carp blood, as well as cells derived from eyeballs from intercepted carp. Cells from the fish eyes were obtained from an ocular blood vessel as well as the vitreous humor. Nuclei were stained with propidium iodide, internal bead standards were included, and three replicate tubes per fish were analyzed by flow cytometry. The external DNA content control was fresh or cryopreserve blood from tilapia, with a diploid genome size of 2.40 pg. This standard protocol uses nuclear size as well as DNA content for reliably discriminating ploidy of interstate hauled grass carp.

USGS Structures from The National Map consists of data to include the name, function, location, and other core information and characteristics of selected manmade facilities. The types of structures collected are largely determined by the needs of disaster planning and emergency response, and homeland security organizations.

Download .zipAs a service to surveyors, engineers, law enforcement officials, and the general public, the Division of Geological Survey is hosting information on the Ohio-Kentucky boundary lawsuit resolution, including geodetic coordinates and Ohio-Kentucky boundary maps.

In 1966 the State of Ohio filed suit in the U.S. Supreme Court against the Commonwealth of Kentucky. At issue was the location of the boundary between Ohio and Kentucky. The State of Ohio claimed that the boundary was the low-water mark on the northerly side of the Ohio River as it existed in 1792, when Kentucky was admitted to the Union. The banks along the Ohio River have changed and expanded due to human influences and activities, such as dredging and damming of the river for navigation. The Commonwealth of Kentucky filed a counter suit that the boundary is the current location of the northern boundary of the Ohio River.

On January 21, 1980, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Ohio’s favor when it decided that the boundary is the low-water mark on the northerly side of the Ohio River as it existed in 1792 (OHIO v. KENTUCKY, 444 U.S. 335 [1980]). The original U.S. Supreme Court decision can be accessed at Openjurist.org.

Following the decision, a Report of the Special Master was filed with the Supreme Court on April 15, 1985 (OHIO v. KENTUCKY, 471 US 153 [1985]), and contained the legal determination of the Ohio-Kentucky boundary. Joint Exhibit No. 5 of the report contained the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic maps, which showed the boundary, while Joint Exhibit No. 30 of the report is the table of geodetic coordinates of the Ohio-Kentucky boundary. The Supreme Court decision on the Report of the Special Master can be accessed at Openjurist.org.

Geodetic coordinates can be downloaded. The original table of Joint Exhibit No. 30 has been scanned into PDF format. Coordinates have been captured into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, a text document, and converted to GIS shape file. Coordinate information was digitized from original USGS documents and data files created by Kentucky Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet, Geographic Information Systems Branch, and Commonwealth Office of Technology, Division of Geographic Information.Contact Information:Geological Survey, Customer ServiceOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Geological SurveyGeologic Records2045 Morse RoadColumbus, OH, 43229-6693Telephone: 614-265-6576Email: geo.survey@dnr.ohio.gov
