Description: This layer was constructed by combining several intermediate layers which were developed in April 2010 from a database constructed several years earlier by DPZ staff. On this layer almost all features are shown as planimetric shapes. A few features are shown as 220-foot diameter circles placed as closely as possible over the center of the feature. In the table, a show_as_point column identifies these features with a "yes." There are also 5 linear-style features expressed as polygons. These are roads shown as 125-foot wide buffers following the centerline of the inventoried feature. All features appear only once in the layer except for Great Falls Park Historic District Park, which is split into two polygons, one for the portion in Upper Potomac Planning District and one for the portion in McLean Planning District.Contact: Daniel WhiteData Accessibility: Publicly available to Fairfax County Employees and represented to citizens and the public through a number of GIS applications.Update Frequency: As neededCreation Date: April 2010Feature Set Name: DPZMGR.HISTORIC_AREASFeature Layer Name: DPZMGR.INVENTORY_OF_HISTORIC_SITES

Description: This data set contains a variety of easements that are captured from recorded subdivision plats and easement plats. Once a document has been recorded then the GIS office receives that document and creates any features that are shown on the recorded document. This layer contains the easement type by category and the name of the easement as stated on the plat. For newer easements there is also the deed book and deed page. This is used to perform research on the original document in the Courts system.This layers does not contain all easements. There are many easements before the GIS office started capturing all easements that did not get into the layer because they were not on the original mylars where this data was captured from. Also, in 2016 the GIS Division stopped capturing stormwater easements into this layer as there is different layer that contains the stormwater related easements.Contact: Fairfax County GIS DivisionData Accessibility: Publicly availableUpdate frequency: DailyCreation date: 1/1/2000Layer name: GISMGR.EASEMENTSDataset Name: GISMGR.ENCUMBRANCES
