Catalog Last Checked From VDOT: 2021The purpose of including a catalog snapshot of geospatial datasets online by this agency in this description is to enable keywords by an end user of the VGIN AGOL search and provide that user to the authoritative source data page. If additional geospatial datasets beyond the listing above should be provided to end users from the authoritative source in a custom request, please contact VGIN at VBMP@vdem.virginia.gov to have them added to this listing.

This layer presents the state of Virginia. The state boundary is generalized to improve draw performance and be used effectively at a national level.

The VA_TOWN dataset is a feature class component of the Virginia Administrative Boundaries dataset from the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN). VA_COUNTY represents the best available city and county boundary information to VGIN.VGIN initially sought to develop an improved locality and town boundary dataset in late 2013, spurred by response of the Virginia Administrative Boundaries Workgroup community. The feature class initially started from the locality boundaries from the Census TIGER dataset for Virginia. VGIN solicited input from localities in Virginia through the Road Centerlines data submission process as well as through public forums such as the Virginia Administrative Boundaries Workgroup and VGIN listservs. Data received were analyzed and incorporated into the VA_COUNTY feature class where locality data were a superior representation of the city or county boundary.

This layer is a component of Feature classes representing locality (county, city, and town) boundaries in the Commonwealth of Virginia..

This link is to a group where ArcGIS Online organizations from across the Commonwealth have provided access to the their homepage and publicly shared content.The Virginia GIS Clearinghouse hosts a wealth of data and metadata for Virginia datasets made available through state agencies, local governments, and others.

This layer presents the counties of the state of Virginia. It provides detailed boundaries that are consistent with the tract, block group, and state data sets and are effective at regional and state levels.

This layer began as part of the Virginia.gov data development project in 2008-2009. VGIN was tasked to generate cartography and data for a specific application for location of Virginia state agency locations in relation to the project. In 2010, The State Broadband Data Development Program (SBDD) Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) dataset leveraged much of that data and catalogued broadband service to a specific feature. The points have since been checked and updated annually as part of the Virginia Landmark dataset. The data is matched to the Virginia Address Point dataset. There are numerous data sources associated to the point. The general development methodology is as follows: The facility data was extracted and geocoded to the VGIN Geocoding service. If results were positioned on the Road Centerline by the RCL locator, those features were subsequently updated and moved to match the address point in the data layer. Unmatched results were added to the map. Non-spatial address location data is harvested into a spreadsheet by the source agency and checked against the GIS data annually. Fields for Landmark Name, Place Type, Source, and Source Type can be used to differentiate specific data as stored in the dataset.Full VA Landmark Database: https://vgin.vdem.virginia.gov/datasets/VGIN::virginia-landmarks/explore

1. US Census Bureau Cartographic Boundary File of county boundaries for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

From the US Census Bureau: "The cartographic boundary files are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the Census Bureau’s MAF/TIGER geographic database. These boundary files are specifically designed for small scale thematic mapping."

These parcel boundaries represent legal descriptions of property ownership, as recorded in various public documents in the local jurisdiction. The boundaries are intended for cartographic use and spatial analysis only, and not for use as legal descriptions or property surveys. Tax parcel boundaries have not been edge-matched across municipal boundaries.

The Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) has coordinated the development and maintenance of a statewide Parcels data layer in conjunction with local governments across the Commonwealth. The Virginia Parcel dataset is aggregated as part of the VGIN Local Government Data Call update cycle. Localities are encouraged to submit data bi-annually and are included into the parcel dataset with their most recent geography.Attributes for these Virginia parcels are limited to locality identification and parcel id. Tax parcel boundaries have not been edge-matched across municipal boundaries but they are associated by local government FIPS and locality name.The boundaries are intended for cartographic use and spatial analysis only, and not for use as legal descriptions or property surveys. Not all localities within the Commonwealth of Virginia have confirmed a digital record for parcel geography or submit data with a bi-annual frequency.GDB Version: ArcGIS Pro 3.3Additional Resources:Shapefile DownloadREST EndpointVirginia Parcels: Local Schema Tables

This 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. State Legislative Districts (SLDs) are the areas from which members are elected to state legislatures. The SLDs embody the upper (senate - SLDU) and lower (house - SLDL) chambers of the state legislature. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature, and the District of Columbia has a single council, both of which the Census Bureau treats as upper-chamber legislative areas for the purpose of data presentation; there are no data by SLDL for either Nebraska or the District of Columbia. A unique three-character census code, identified by state participants, is assigned to each SLD within a state. States that had SLDL updates between the previous and current session include Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin. In Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico, the Redistricting Data Program (RDP) participant did not define the SLDLs to cover the entirety of the state or state equivalent area. In the areas with no SLDLs defined, the code "ZZZ" has been assigned, which is treated as a single SLDL for purposes of data presentation. There are no SLDL TIGER/Line shapefiles for the District of Columbia, Nebraska, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). The state legislative district boundaries reflect information provided to the Census Bureau by the states by May 31, 2024.

The Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) has coordinated and manages the development of a consistent, seamless, statewide digital road centerline file with address, road name, and state route number attribution, as part of the Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP). The Road Centerline Program (RCL) leverages the Commonwealth"s investment in the VBMP digital orthophotography and is focused on creating a single statewide, consistent digital road file.The RCL data layer is a dynamic dataset supported and maintained by Virginia"s Local Governments, VDOT, and VGIN.

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) Database (MTDB). The MTDB 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. Block Groups (BGs) are clusters of blocks within the same census tract. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tracts. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census. For example, tabulation blocks numbered 3001, 3002, 3003,.., 3999 within census tract 1210.02 are also within BG 3 within that census tract. BGs coded 0 are intended to only include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal water, and Great Lakes water areas. Block groups generally contain between 600 and 3,000 people. A BG usually covers a contiguous area but never crosses county or census tract boundaries. They may, however, cross the boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska Native / Native Hawaiian areas. The BG boundaries in this release are those that were delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.
