Wake County is split between two River Basins (6-digit Hydrologic Unit Code), the Cape Fear River Basin and Neuse River Basins. River basins are determined by the US Geological Survey (USGS). USGS delineates drainage areas at 6 different levels all nesting within each other. These levels start at a regional scale and are given a 2-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). Two digits are added to the code at each level as it progresses to a smaller drainage area. River basins are at the third level and designated with a 6-digit HUC. Additional information about USGS's WDB can be found at this link.If you would like to find out more about River Basins across the state of NC, visit the Find Your HUC website.

This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties. https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm

This data includes property developments within the Town of Fuquay-Varina that are proposed, approved, under construction, or recently completed. Updated monthly by ToFV Planning and GIS.

This service provides a quarterly snapshot of the North Carolina state-maintained road network centerlines. Here, the route network is divided into three layers with symbolized Route Classifications listed below.State Maintained RoadsInterstateUS RouteNC RouteSecondary RouteRampsRest AreasOther State Agency RouteState Maintained Roads - Primary RoadsInterstateUS RouteNC RouteState Maintained Roads - InterstatesInterstateNorth Carolina’s route network is comprised of Interstate, US, NC, Secondary Roads, Ramps, and non-state maintained and projected roads required for federal reporting purposes. Route attributes include Route Class, Route Qualifier, Route Inventory, Route Number, Route Name, and County name. The Route ID attribute is an 11-digit composite route number, the identifier for the Dominant Route. It uniquely identifies routes statewide and should be used as the route identifier when performing LRS analysis using route/milepost referencing.NCDOT adopted the road centerline based Linear Reference System (LRS) Network as it’s official Enterprise LRS, to which multiple road inventory attributes are referenced along measured routes throughout North Carolina. These routes are classified as either System or Non-System routes. System routes are routes within the state-maintained road network, and are comprised of Interstates, US Routes, NC Routes, Secondary Routes, Ramps, and Non-System Routes. Non-System routes are routes that are typically not maintained by NCDOT, but instead by a local agency (county, city or MPO/RPO). The local agency is the source for updating these Non-System routes in NCDOT’s LRS. The collection of routes, System and Non-System, is the NCDOT LRS Network referred to as MilePoint.MetadataThe metadata for the contained layers of the NCDOT State Maintained Roads service is available through the following links:NCDOT Route ArcsPoint of Contact North Carolina Department of Information Technology -Transportation, GIS UnitGIS Data and Services ConsultantContact information:gishelp@ncdot.govCentury Center – Building B1020 Birch Ridge DriveRaleigh, NC 27610Hours of service: 9:00am - 5:00pm Monday – FridayContact instructions: Please send an email with any issues, questions, or comments regarding the State Maintained Roads data.

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.
