Description: Feature class containing a comprehensive collection of water polygon features in Chatham County and the nearby surrounding area. The data within Chatham County is meant to include all water body features while the data in the surrounding counties only includes features that breaklines existed from the NC QL2 LiDAR data collection project.The data was created in early 2020 by the Chatham County GIS department using a combination of manual heads-up digitization and bulk creation of water body features using the state of NC QL2 LiDAR breakline data. All pond features within Chatham County that did not have associated break line data were heads up digitized by Chatham GIS staff using either 2017 or 2019 aerial imagery. The data is fully attributed with creation type, feature type, etc. All data was QA/QC'd and attributes validated prior to import into Chatham Counties' enterprise geodatabase.The purpose of this data was to create and maintain a highly accurate representation of water polygon features throughout Chatham County, NC to be used in the GIS departments base maps and other thematic mapping applications where allowed. The data will be maintained moving forward through a combination of heads-up digitization, LiDAR data collection, or other imagery analysis techniques deemed appropriate.

Description: The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's Managed Areas are primarily a collection of fee simple properties and easements where natural resource conservation is one of the primary management goals. It does include a number of properties and easements that are not primarily managed for conservation, but that are of conservation interest. This conservation interest ranges from properties and easements which support rare species and intact, high-quality natural communities to those that are open spaces in places where open space is scarce. Lands that are Dedicated Nature Preserves or Registered Heritage Areas are found in this data set. These data are the current equivalent of the Conservation Tax Credit Properties and Land Trust Conservation Properties data set and the Federal Lands in North Carolina data set. Inclusion of a Managed Area in this shapefile in no way implies that the area is open to the public. Some Managed Areas are on private land and are not open to the public; written permission should be obtained from all appropriate landowners before visiting any of these sites.

Description: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2010 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area.
