West Virginia Wetlands Inventory is a record of wetlands location and classification as defined by the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This dataset is available as a single statewide coverage. The data provide consultants, planners, and resource managers with information on wetland location and type; however, not all wetlands are mapped as explained under “data limitations” below.

The originator of the inventory is the WV Department of Environmental Protection in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Time period of content ranges from Feb. 1971 to Dec. 1992, with updates to 6% of the data in 2018. Wetland point, line and area features are compiled through manual photo interpretation of aerial photography supplemented by soil surveys, digital elevation data, and field checking.

Tax District Boundaries: Official tax district boundary lines adopted by the WV Legislature in 1978 as a general reference to delineate rural tax district boundaries. The boundaries were drawn from 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps in 1978 and coincide with county magisterial districts as of July 1, 1973. Unlike magisterial districts that are realigned every ten years following the census, the tax district boundary does not follow equal representation requirements. In 1978 the West Virginia Geologic and Economical Survey published six 1:500,000-scale maps delineating official county and tax district boundary lines for the State. In 1996 the West Virginia Department of Tax and Revenue, Property Tax Division, converted the 1978 source maps into a digital format and added descriptive attributes for each tax district. In October of 2003, the WV GIS Technical Center appended 24K DLG boundary files and lines drawn from 24K DRGs into a statewide 24K Tax District Boundary dataset. In 2017, WVGISTC has appended this file with parcel data or Census Populated Places boundaries for missing tax districts.

From the site: "A reference map of the total intensity magnetic field of the earth in gammas published by the WV Geological and Economic Survey in 1978.

In May/June 2007, two hardcopy map sheets of the 1978 Aeromagnetic Map of West Virginia were scanned at 300 dpi 8-bit color by the WV GIS Technical Center. The scanned TIFs were converted to index color mode, and resampled to 150 dpi. The map sections were then mosaicked together and georeferenced to a 15-minute Longitude/Latitude grid."
