Description: This data layer contains polygon features representing the approximate locations of dam break inundation zones and special flood hazard areas (Floodplains and Floodways). It was created to provide users the ability to overlay these features onto the parcel boundary layer.The dam break inundation zone layer provided by the Virginia Department of Conservation. The special flood hazard area layer was provided by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Users should consult these agencies for legal inundation zone and special flood hazard area boundaries.

Description: This feature class consists of polylines. Sidewalk centerlines run parallel to a sidewalk through the center of a sidewalk polygon. A sidewalk is a paved path meant for pedestrians at the side of the road and any short, paved spurts that connect the main path to a point of interest (POI), like a building or parking lot. Sidewalks may also include short paths between buildings on public, MFA, commercial or high-use facilities (such as a college or hospital). It may also include short paths from a parking lot to a point of interest. Created new in 2021 from 2017 imagery by The Sanborn Map Company. 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.

Description: 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.

Description: A Green Infrastructure map county of Prince William, VA was developed to provide quantification of canopy and associated data for environmental monitoring. Digital aerial imagery, collected for the National Agriculture Imagery (NAIP) 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.
