The Digital Surficial Geologic-GIS Map of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Washington is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) an ESRI file geodatabase (fova_surficial_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro 3.X map file (.mapx) file (fova_surficial_geology.mapx) and individual Pro 3.X layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer). The OGC geopackage is supported with a QGIS project (.qgz) file. Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, three additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) a readme file (fova_geology_gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (fova_geology.pdf) which contains geologic unit descriptions, as well as other ancillary map information and graphics from the source map(s) used by the GRI in the production of the GRI digital geologic-GIS data for the park, and 3.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (fova_surficial_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the fova_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. Google Earth software is available for free at: https://www.google.com/earth/versions/. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD).

Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: National Park Service. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (fova_surficial_geology_metadata.txt or fova_surficial_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:20,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 10.2 meters or 33.3 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).

Map contains the locations of C-Tran bus routes and bus stops.

This map shows the location, building materials and footprint of buildings; the original water line where it differs from the 1912 shoreline; some proposed developments; electoral wards; legal land descriptions; lot sizes; street and lane widths; and old street names that had been recently changed. In 1912, Vancouver, Point Grey and South Vancouver were three separate municipalities District Lot 301 and Hastings Townsite had both been annexed by the City of Vancouver in 1911. All three municipalities are included in the map, but Stanley Park was not included. The original paper map includes a third volume which covers New Westminster: this volume is not included in the dataset. Data AccessThe digitized maps are available in ECW and TIFF format. Links to individual tiles are available from the map view. Alternately you can download a single zipped ECW file of the entire mosaic map (1.07 GB). AttributesPlease see page Understanding Goad's fire insurance map. Coordinate systemThe map showing the location of individual tiles is in WGS84. The ECW and TIFF files are projected in UTM Zone 10, NAD83 (CSRS). NoteThis map is in the public domain.Fire insurance maps are created to depict information used to determine fire insurance liability. These maps typically include information on the materials used in a building and, for commercial buildings, the business that operated there if that use affected fire risk. Historical fire insurance maps are used today to aid research into the histories of neighbourhoods and individual properties, particularly the changes in site use over time. This map was created by collecting information from approved Registered Plans filed with the Land Registry Office and on-site surveys. Please note that the street names reflect those of the day; many of the street names in the municipalities of Point Grey and South Vancouver were different before their amalgamation with Vancouver in 1929. Some streets in Point Grey also have current and historical names noted. After Point Grey separated from South Vancouver in 1908, some street names were changed. Data currencyData current as of July 3, 1912. Georectification (a process converting scanned map images to a standard map coordinate system) performed December 2014. Data accuracyThe original map was not intended to be used as one large unit. We have attempted to align the streets with the current street grid where appropriate. The street network in areas undeveloped in 1912 reflects what municipalities might have planned to build, but in some cases did not end up constructing. Of particular note are the University Endowment Lands and south-east Vancouver, where what this map depicts bears no relation to what was actually built when those areas were developed decades later. In the map view, the points represent a centre point in a polygon. Due to georectification (a process converting scanned map images to a standard map coordinate system), user may have to download adjacent section files in order to view the desired location.

Map layers are provided via Esri Living Atlas of the World's PLACES: Local Data for Better Health hosted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC DPH). Layers are filtered to show only tracts within Clark County, Washington and overall summary for the City of Vancouver.

This map uses layers relating to the City of Vancouver's LED Street Light conversion project including location and attributes of street lights in the City, locations of curb ramps, and sidewalks adjacent to sited locations. This map is not designed for standalone use, but is the basis for a Dasboard viewing application for public use linked here: Public Street Light Dashboard Experience (arcgis.com)
