Wake County GIS creates and maintains the official street transportation data for the whole county. ToFV GIS has "clipped" this data to our Urban Service Area for convenience. Data is automatically updated nightly from Wake County's Open Data source, and so should always be the same data as from Wake County.

US Postal Service ZIP Code boundaries in Wake County, NC. This dataset is updated as needed when property lines change and when source data from the US Postal Service is updated, and it is maintained by the Wake County GIS Addressing Team. GIS metadata is available here.

Land parcels are administered and maintained by Wake County rather than by local governments within the County. However, for convenience, ToFV GIS serves a sub-set of the Wake County parcels that are restricted to the Urban Service Area of Fuquay-Varina. This parcel data is automatically downloaded every day from Wake County and "clipped" to the ToFV area. This data should always match the full Wake County parcel dataset that is also available for download at all times.

Water Lines (pipes) within Fuquay-Varina. This is a rather extensive collection of a number of sub-types of water lines, and includes both public and privately owned features. Mainly, there are public water mains, public hydrants legs, private hydrant/fire legs, and private mains/service lines. Water service lines (i.e. service legs from mains to meters) maintained by the Town are only recently being mapped in our GIS system and are limited. When using this data, please pay close attention to WLine_Subtype and OWNEDBY fields. Please note that ALL public utility data layers can be downloaded in a single .mpkx (ArcGIS Pro map package file), updated every Friday evening. This .mpkx file can be opened directly with ArcGIS Pro version 3+. Alternatively, you can extract the file geodatabase within it by renaming the file ending .mpkx to .zip and treating it like a zip archive file, for use in any version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap software. You can also use QGIS, a powerful, free, and open-source GIS software.The Town of Fuquay-Varina creates, maintains, and serves out a variety of utility information to the public, including its Potable Water System, Sanitary Sewer System, and Stormwater Collection System features. This is the same utility data displayed in our public web map. This utility data includes some features designated as 'private' that are not owned or maintained by the Town, but may be helpful for modeling and other informational purposes. Please pay particular attention to the terms of use and disclaimer associated with these data. Some data includes the use of Subtypes and Domains that may not translate well to Shapefile or GeoJSON downloads available through our Open Data site. Please beware the dangers of cartographic misrepresentation if you are unfamiliar with filtering and symbolizing data based on attributes.

Address points primarily within the Corporate Limits of the Town of Fuquay-Varina. These include the primary and sometimes secondary address points within parcels. Wake County address point data does not include these secondary address points (e.g. multiple points for units in a building, or multiple buildings on one property). This data is frequently updated by Planning staff. Please visit the Planning Department website if you would like more information.

The construction of this data model was adapted from the Telvent Miner & Miner ArcFM MultiSpeak data model to provide interface functionality with Milsoft Utility Solutions WindMil engineering analysis program. Database adaptations, GPS data collection, and all subsequent GIS processes were performed by Southern Geospatial Services for the Town of Apex Electric Utilities Division in accordance to the agreement set forth in the document "Town of Apex Electric Utilities GIS/GPS Project Proposal" dated March 10, 2008. Southern Geospatial Services disclaims all warranties with respect to data contained herein. Questions regarding data quality and accuracy should be directed to persons knowledgeable with the forementioned agreement.The data in this GIS with creation dates between March of 2008 and April of 2024 were generated by Southern Geospatial Services, PLLC (SGS). The original inventory was performed under the above detailed agreement with the Town of Apex (TOA). Following the original inventory, SGS performed maintenance projects to incorporate infrastructure expansion and modification into the GIS via annual service agreements with TOA. These maintenances continued through April of 2024.At the request of TOA, TOA initiated in house maintenance of the GIS following delivery of the final SGS maintenance project in April of 2024. GIS data created or modified after April of 2024 are not the product of SGS.With respect to SGS generated GIS data that are point features:GPS data collected after January 1, 2013 were surveyed using mapping grade or survey grade GPS equipment with real time differential correction undertaken via the NC Geodetic Surveys Real Time Network (VRS). GPS data collected prior to January 1, 2013 were surveyed using mapping grade GPS equipment without the use of VRS, with differential correction performed via post processing.With respect to SGS generated GIS data that are line features:Line data in the GIS for overhead conductors were digitized as straight lines between surveyed poles. Line data in the GIS for underground conductors were digitized between surveyed at grade electric utility equipment. The configurations and positions of the underground conductors are based on TOA provided plans. The underground conductors are diagrammatic and cannot be relied upon for the determination of the actual physical locations of underground conductors in the field.The Service Locations feature class was created by Southern Geospatial Services (SGS) from a shapefile of customer service locations generated by dataVoice International (DV) as part of their agreement with the Town of Apex (TOA) regarding the development and implemention of an Outage Management System (OMS).Point features in this feature class represent service locations (consumers of TOA electric services) by uniquely identifying the features with the same unique identifier as generated for a given service location in the TOA Customer Information System (CIS). This is also the mechanism by which the features are tied to the OMS. Features are physically located in the GIS based on CIS address in comparison to address information found in Wake County GIS property data (parcel data). Features are tied to the GIS electric connectivity model by identifying the parent feature (Upline Element) as the transformer that feeds a given service location.SGS was provided a shapefile of 17992 features from DV. Error potentially exists in this DV generated data for the service location features in terms of their assigned physical location, phase, and parent element.Regarding the physical location of the features, SGS had no part in physically locating the 17992 features as provided by DV and cannot ascertain the accuracy of the locations of the features without undertaking an analysis designed to verify or correct for error if it exists. SGS constructed the feature class and loaded the shapefile objects into the feature class and thus the features exist in the DV derived location. SGS understands that DV situated the features based on the address as found in the CIS. No features were verified as to the accuracy of their physical location when the data were originally loaded. It is the assumption of SGS that the locations of the vast majority of the service location features as provided by DV are in fact correct.SGS understands that as a general rule that DV situated residential features (individually or grouped) in the center of a parcel. SGS understands that for areas where multiple features may exist in a given parcel (such as commercial properties and mobile home parks) that DV situated features as either grouped in the center of the parcel or situated over buildings, structures, or other features identifiable in air photos. It appears that some features are also grouped in roads or other non addressed locations, likely near areas where they should physically be located, but that these features were not located in a final manner and are either grouped or strung out in a row in the general area of where DV may have expected they should exist.Regarding the parent and phase of the features, the potential for error is due to the "first order approximation" protocol employed by DV for assigning the attributes. With the features located as detailed above, SGS understands that DV identified the transformer closest to the service location (straight line distance) as its parent. Phase was assigned to the service location feature based on the phase of the parent transformer. SGS expects that this protocol correctly assigned parent (and phase) to a significant portion of the features, however this protocol will also obviously incorretly assign parent in many instances.To accurately identify parent for all 17992 service locations would require a significant GIS and field based project. SGS is willing to undertake a project of this magnitude at the discretion of TOA. In the meantime, SGS is maintaining (editing and adding to) this feature class as part of the ongoing GIS maintenance agreement that is in place between TOA and SGS. In lieu of a project designed to quality assess and correct for the data provided by DV, SGS will verify the locations of the features at the request of TOA via comparison of the unique identifier for a service location to the CIS address and Wake County parcel data address as issues arise with the OMS if SGS is directed to focus on select areas for verification by TOA. Additionally, as SGS adds features to this feature class, if error related to the phase and parent of an adjacent feature is uncovered during a maintenance, it will be corrected for as part of that maintenance.With respect to the additon of features moving forward, TOA will provide SGS with an export of CIS records for each SGS maintenance, SGS will tie new accounts to a physical location based on address, SGS will create a feature for the CIS account record in this feature class at the center of a parcel for a residential address or at the center of a parcel or over the correct (or approximately correct) location as determined via air photos or via TOA plans for commercial or other relevant areas, SGS will identify the parent of the service location as the actual transformer that feeds the service location, and SGS will identify the phase of the service address as the phase of it's parent.Service locations with an ObjectID of 1 through 17992 were originally physically located and attributed by DV.Service locations with an ObjectID of 17993 or higher were originally physically located and attributed by SGS.DV originated data are provided the Creation User attribute of DV, however if SGS has edited or verified any aspect of the feature, this attribute will be changed to SGS and a comment related to the edits will be provided in the SGS Edits Comments data field. SGS originated features will be provided the Creation User attribute of SGS. Reference the SGS Edits Comments attribute field Metadata for further information.

This dataset consists of the geologic contact lines for the Caldwell 7.5-minute Quadrangle.

This polyline digital dataset, compiled through new detailed geologic mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of geology for the Caldwell 7.5' quadrangle, Orange and Person Counties, North Carolina. This polyline file was used to develop North Carolina Geological Survey Open-File Report 2010-03. This file contains original North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS) geologic mapping data generated by compiling detailed field observations during the period from August 2008 through June 2009 and September 2009 through May 2010. This polyline database delineates map units that are identified by general age and lithology through standard geologic mapping procedures. These data were mapped at a scale of 1:24,000 and are appropriate for use at this scale and smaller.

Polylines are coded by line type (LINETYPE).

This dataset contains inferred and concealed contact lines. This is the definition for the inferred polylines: A polyline that indicates the interpreted geologic contact between map units, determined based on available station data. A physical contact was not observed in the field. The concealed contact lines were obscured beneath the Quaternary alluvium.

NO WAKE SAFE WATER ZONES: A designated area where a watercraft must not exceed 5 miles per hour and where a watercraft shall not produce waves showing whitewater. EXCLUSION AREAS: Though these areas are excluded from the 300' no-wake zone mandated by Ordinance 20-11, they still fall within Idaho State Law Section 67-7077 which states that the no-wake rules apply when within 100 feet of a dock, person or structure.No Wake zone polygons were created through a buffer analyses in a GIS, based on digitized Lake Cascade and Payette Lake Water Boundaries. Considering the use of aerial imagery collected by a third party, accuracy of actual boundaries may vary up to 10 meters, which means these data cannot be utilized to show boaters precise locations of no-wake zone boundaries but are used more for estimating boundaries.Payette Lake Water Boundary was digitized by the City of McCall based on imagery, elevation data and average full pool depth. Payette Lake Pool Depth does not vary greatly during boating season, however variations may occur which means these data are most accurate when Payette Lake is at average full pool depth.Lake Cascade Boundary was digitized manually by Valley County based on aerial imagery that was collected during an average full pool depth period. Because pool depth elevation varies greatly throughout the boating season, no wake zones during boating season in Lake Cascade will vary at certain times from boundaries presented in this dataset. In other words, these data are most accurate when Lake Cascade is at average full pool depth which may be a small portion of actual boating season.For questions on how no wake zones and exclusion areas were determined, please contact Valley County Marine Deputy.
