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.

West Virginia county map boundaries divided by county map sheets.The West Virginia County Boundaries layer was digitized off from USGS 1:24,000-scale Digital Raster Graphics (scanned topographic maps) by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. First published in January 2002, updated with Census 2000 attribute data and re-published in March 2005. West Virginia Department of Transportation-Division of Highways, Geographic Transportation Information Section (GTI), processed into map sheet index, 2007-2010.

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."

The mapped area boundary, flood inundation extents, and depth rasters were created to provide an estimated extent of flood inundation along the Cherry River within the communities of Richwood and Fenwick, West Virginia. These geospatial data include the following items: 1. cherry_bnd; shapefile containing the polygon showing the mapped area boundary for the Cherry River flood maps, 2. cherry_hwm; shapefile containing high-water mark points, 3. polygon_cherry_hwm; shapefile containing mapped extent of flood inundation, derived from the water-surface elevation surveyed at high-water marks, 4. depth_hwm; raster file for the flood depths derived from the water-surface elevation surveyed at high-water marks, 5. polygon_cherry_dem; shapefile containing mapped extent of flood inundation, derived from the height above ground recorded at high-water marks and the digital elevation model (DEM) raster, 6. depth_dem; raster file for the flood depths derived from the height above ground recorded at high-water marks and the digital elevation model raster. The upstream and downstream mapped area extent is limited to the upstream-most and downstream-most high-water mark locations. In areas of uncertainty of flood extent, the mapped area boundary is lined up with the flood inundation polygon extent. The mapped area boundary polygon was used to extract the final flood inundation polygon and depth raster from the water-surface elevation raster file. Depth raster files were created using the "Topo to Raster" tool in ArcMap (ESRI, 2012). For this study two sets of inundation layers were generated for each reach. One raster file showing flood depths, "depth_hwm", was created by using high-water mark water-surface elevation values on the land surface and a digital elevation model. However, differences in elevation between the surveyed water-surface elevation values at HWM’s and the land-surface elevation from the digital elevation model data provided uncertainty in the inundation extent of the generated layers. Often times elevation differences of +/- 20 feet were noticed between the surveyed elevation from a HWM on the land surface and the digital elevation model land-surface elevation. Due to these elevation differences, we incorporated a second method of interpolating the water-surface layer. The recorded height above ground value from the surveyed HWM was added to the digital elevation model land-surface elevation at that point. This created a new water-surface elevation value to be used with the “Topo to Raster” interpolation method to create a second depth raster, "depth_dem". Both sets of inundation layers are provided.

A statewide inventory (www.mapWV.gov/trails) of over 5,000 miles of recreational trails accessible to the public in West Virginia. The WV GIS Technical Center at West Virginia University and Rahall Transportation Institute at Marshall University were funded by the WV Division of Highways to inventory, collect, attribute, and integrate all publicly accessible recreational trails in West Virginia. This effort to create a comprehensive statewide trails database was coordinated by the Division of Highway's State Trail Coordinator, Bill Robinson, and GIS Section Head, Hussein Elkhansa. New trail data is updated as it becomes available. Data last updated: August 28, 2021.The data can be viewed on the WV Trail Inventory online map application( https://www.mapwv.gov/trails/) ail users are encouraged to use this interactive mapping tool to report misting trails or corrections.Coordinate System: NAD_1983_UTM_ZOne_17N.Supplemental Information: Anyone wishing to submit GIS/GPS updates for this dataset should contact Kurt Donaldson at the WVGISTC via EMAIL @ kurt.donaldson@mail.wvu.edu

1968 geological map of West Virginia. Also includes separate fold and fault coverages from the same map. In 1968 the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey (WVGES) published a State Geologic Map. The topographic base was compiled from Army Map Service 1:250,000 scale map sheets. In 1998 the WV Division of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) scanned the hardcopy geologic maps at 300 dpi, 8-bit color, and then georeferenced them. Rock unit boundaries were digitized off the images and attributed by WVDEP. The USGS-Water Resources Division later revised the attributes of large water bodies and referenced the datum to NAD83.TEST
