Abstract

The 2019 Inventory for King William County was generated using on-screen, digitizing techniques in ArcGIS® -ArcMap v10.4.1 while viewing conditions observed in 2017 imagery from the Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP), Google Earth, and Bing high resolution oblique imagery. Five GIS shapefiles are developed. The first describes land use and bank conditions (KingWilliam_lubc_2019). The second portrays the presence of beaches (KingWilliam_beach_2019). The third reports shoreline structures that are described as arcs or lines (e.g. riprap) (KingWilliam_sstru_2019). The fourth shapefile includes all structures that are represented as points (e.g. piers) (KingWilliam_astru_2019). The Tidal Marsh Inventory is included as the fifth file (KW_tmi_2019). The tidal marsh boundaries have been readjusted to match the 2017 imagery. No field surveys were completed but the plant community information from the 2010 fieldwork was retained. Metadata files accompany the shapefiles and define attribute accuracy, data development, and any use restrictions that pertain to data.
