Virginia Schools - Higher Education

This layer began as part of the Virginia.gov data development project in 2008-2009. VGIN was tasked to generate cartography and data for a specific application for location of Virginia state agency locations in relation to the project. In 2010, The State Broadband Data Development Program (SBDD) Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) dataset leveraged much of that data and catalogued broadband service to a specific feature. The points have since been checked and updated annually as part of the Virginia Landmark dataset. The data is matched to the Virginia Address Point dataset. There are numerous data sources associated to the point. The general development methodology is as follows: The facility data was extracted and geocoded to the VGIN Geocoding service. If results were positioned on the Road Centerline by the RCL locator, those features were subsequently updated and moved to match the address point in the data layer. Unmatched results were added to the map. Non-spatial address location data is harvested into a spreadsheet by the source agency and checked against the GIS data annually. Fields for Landmark Name, Place Type, Source, and Source Type can be used to differentiate specific data as stored in the dataset.

Virginia LiDAR Inventory Project Footprints

The Virginia LiDAR Inventory Web Mapping Application provides access to LiDAR point cloud and individual project metadata collected in the Commonwealth of Virginia according to the USGS 3DEP specification. Data is obtained from NOAA, USGS, and VGIN data portals. LiDAR Point Clouds are compressed for file storage and transfer. USGS and NOAA utilize the compressed .LAZ format. This dataset will provide the end user a necessary set of geographic extents that can be used with an ArcGIS Desktop or Pro session to select by location specific areas of download. The downloads can either be batch processed by the analysis with scripting and modeling or individual tiles can be downloaded. This is the tile data powering VGIN ArcGIS server services utilized in the VGIN LiDAR Download Application.

Virginia - Archived Voter Polling Locations

This layer contains voter polling locations utilized in past elections across the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. Data can be filtered by locality as well as election name, type, or date. Please note that the physical address and location information for each polling location is maintained by individual locality General Registrars. Addresses are geocoded using the [VGIN Composite Geocoding Service]. Please note that this layer currently only contains points for polling places dating back to the June 2024 Primary elections. Polling places for elections prior to the June 2024 Primaries can be found in tabular format on the Virginia Department of Elections website: [https://www.elections.virginia.gov/resultsreports/registration-statistics/] Individuals looking to confirm their assigned polling place for an upcoming election should refer to the Department's website for the most accurate, up-to-date information: [Polling Place Lookup]
Contour Lines 2022 2ft

These 2-foot topographic contours were generated by the City of Charlottesville using the 2022 statewide DEM provided through the Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP / VGIN). The dataset provides an updated representation of local terrain conditions suitable for planning, engineering review, stormwater analysis, and general mapping. Contours were derived directly from the 2022 LiDAR-based DEM at 1-meter resolution, ensuring improved accuracy over older legacy contour sets.
FranklinCoVA_SML_LakeFrontParcels

Parcels along Smith Mountain Lake that come into direct contact with the waterfront. These are NOT Lake Impact or Lake Area parcels. They are more exclusive to only those parcels that come into contact with the water. These parcels were selected by establishing the 800' contour with two different LiDAR-derived topographic datasets (4' and 2' contours). The 800' contour was then buffered 50 US Survey Feet. An intersect selection was then run to pick up all parcels that are within 50 horizontal feet of that buffer. The result was the contents of this dataset.
Fathom Flood Hazard Extent, Virginia (Feature Layer)

Fathom is a 3rd party flood hazard data provider with a comprehensive dataset of flood hazards including coastal, fluvial, and pluvial flooding. This layer represent a combined floodplain with the three major sources of flooding combined into one extent. Non-regulatory flood hazard extent based on Fathom 10-meter depth grid for baseline (2020). Public layers include the 1% and 0.2% Annual Exceedance Probability.
Franklin Co VA - Tax Parcels

This is the County parcel layer as maintained in a joint effort by the GIS Office and the Commissioner of Revenue's Office. The GIS Office maintains the parcel geometry based on available plats and deeds that are recorded with the Courts. The data associated with these parcels are maintained by the Commissioner of Revenue's Office by those same recorded deeds and plats. We do our best to stay as current as posssible, though there is always an unavoidable gap between transactions and the data associated with those transactions being available online.

Mile Marker Signs

The purpose of this data set is to provide a geographic representation of the location of each state mile marker sign in the Commonwealth, and is to be used in a number of other products and projects. The locations of state mile marker signs on interstates and primary routes are important sources for various traffic studies as well as information for travelers. This GIS layer displays the locations and corresponding information of state mile marker signs. The signs may have been placed close but not exactly at the mile point due to geographic restrictions. ──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Attribute Name│Contents ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── FID │Internal Feature Number ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Shape │Feature Geometry ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── HTRISDEF │HTRIS Definition in the Roadway Inventory ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ROADSIDE │Locations of Mile Marker Posts (Right, Left, or Median) ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── LATITUDE │GPS latitude for each Mile Marker point in decimal degrees ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── LONGITUDE │GPS longitude for each Mile Marker point in decimal degrees ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── SIGNSTYLE │0: Small & Non-MUTCD Compliant, 1: MUTCD Standard (D10-1, D10-2 or D10-3), 2: MUTCD Enhanced (D10-4 or D10-5) ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── SIGNVALUE │Numeric Value from the Sign Text except NULL, -1, and -2 values ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── SIGNTEXT │Full Sign Text ──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── M_JURISDIC │Maintenance Jurisdiction Code ──────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
