Virginia NAIP Imagery

The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) acquires aerial imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to make digital ortho photography available to governmental agencies and the public within a year of acquisition. NAIP is administered by the USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) through the Aerial Photography Field Office in Salt Lake City. This "leaf-on" imagery is used as a base layer for GIS programs in FSA's County Service Centers, and is used to maintain the Common Land Unit (CLU) boundaries. For more information, visit the NAIP Page at: [https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/aerial-photography/imagery-programs/naip-imagery/index]
Driveways

The Driveway feature class contains polyline features that represent vehicle driveways. They were compiled primarily through contractor from 2002 Digital Imagery with some updates since from As-builts. Updated in 2018 from 2017 Imagery. Until Sept. 2019 were apart of the Trails layer. In the spring of 2017, the Commonwealth of Virginia, through the Virginia Geographic Information Network Division (herein referred to as VGIN) of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) contracted with Fugro Geospatial, Inc. to provide aerial data acquisition, ground control, aerial triangulation and development of statewide ortho quality DEM and digital orthophotography data. The Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP) update project is divided into three collection phases: In 2017, Fugro flew the eastern third of Virginia at one foot resolution, with options for localities and other interested parties to upgrade resolution or purchase other optional products through the state contract. The middle third of Virginia will be flown in 2018 and the western third in 2019. Ortho products are 1-foot resolution statewide with upgrades to 6-inch resolution tiles and 3-inch resolution tiles in various regions within the project area. The Virginia Base Mapping project encompasses the entire land area of the Commonwealth of Virginia over 4 years. The State boundary is buffered by 1000'. Coastal areas of the State bordering the Atlantic Ocean or the Chesapeake Bay are buffered by 1000' or the extent of man-made features extending from shore. This metadata record describes the generation of new Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and contours generated at 2-foot intervals. All products are being delivered in the North American Datum of 1983 (1986), State Plane Virginia North. The vertical datum was the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) using GEOID12B.
Crosswalk Centerlines

This feature class consists of polylines. A crosswalk is a marked part of a road where pedestrians have right of way to cross. Crosswalk Centerlines are an imaginary line running parallel to the crosswalk through the center or the crosswalk. It may connect to a sidewalk centerline to create a network. Created new in 2021 from 2017 imagery by The Sanborn Map Company.

Tree Cover

A Green Infrastructure map of Prince William county, VA was developed to provide quantification of canopy and associated data for environmental monitoring. Digital aerial imagery, collected for the National Agriculture Imagery (NAIP) 2012 program at 1 meter resolution was classified to a Green Infrastructure Level 1 classification scheme with the following classes: 1) Non Woody Vegetation, 2) Woody Vegetation, 3) Impervious, 4) Water and 5) Bare Soil. The image was classified using Classification and Regression Tree techniques (CART analysis) and raster modeling. The classification accuracy assessment gave an overall accuracy of 95.25%This 2012 update is the result of a change detection process which buillt on the original 2008 classification. Changed areas were updated, and several other classification scheme changes were made, such as the reclassification of pools as impervious surfaces.Woods feature class is a subset of the Landcover classification of 2) Woody Vegetation. The Woody Vegetation features were selected and copied into a seperate stand alone dataset for tree cover.

100-yr Flood Zones

FEMA FIRM flood zones; 100-yr polygons only. 500-yr and "X" zones were deleted to focus on only those areas within the 100-yr zones. This data reflects the December 2015 FEMA update of Isle of Wight County, Virginia. (Upload Date: 15 June 2016). The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the State Plane projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000. All FEMA fields were retained, please refer to FEMA.gov for further information.
Soils

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 7.5 minute quadrangle format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and nonsoil areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line features) is optional. 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.

Development Service Districts

The Isle of Wight County Development Service District, or DSD, is a specific area identified for development to occur. The County has installed or has plans for water and sewer infrastructure and road improvements. Outside the DSD boundaries, all land is intended for agriculture related activities, environmental conservation, and rural character preservation. https://www.co.isle-of-wight.va.us/departments/planning_and_zoning/development_service_districts.php This data reflects updates approved in January of 2020 as reflected in the latest County Comprehensive Plan.
Contours_2ft

These 2' contours were produced as part of the VGIN mapping project executed in 2006 and 2007. Contours were provided to jurisdictions who chose to use the upgrade option for contour generation. The contours are provided in Personal Geodatabase format. Due to size limitations, a jurisdiction may contain more than one GeoDatabase. NAVD88. The aerial photography and creation of the subsequent contour data was executed to capture the existing ground conditions at a specific point in time for the purpose of GIS analysis. A GIS is a system of computer software, hardware, and data that allows a user to manipulate, analyze, and present information that is tied to a spatial location. GIS technology is used in scientific investigations, resource management, development planning, and many other applications that require analysis of spatial data. VGIN sub-contracted with the Sanborn Map Company to execute a Statewide mapping contract in the years 2006 and 2007. This contract updated and enhanced the existing 2002 map data. The Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) is the lead public agency in the Commonwealth for spatial data and GIS. VGIN's mission is to facilitate the cost-effective development and use of spatial data, GIS, and related technologies in organizations throughout the Commonwealth.
