Description: The Rail Network is a comprehensive database of West Virginia's Railway System at 1:24,000 to 1:100,000 scale as of April 1. 2022. Data was obtained from the US Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statics United States Railroad Feature Class. which can be found here: https://geo.dot.gov/server/rest/services/Hosted//North_American_Rail_Lines_VT/VectorTileServer. Data was then verified against imagery, official railroad division timetables and track diagrams and publicly obtained radio dispatching frequencies. Information included in this feature are FRA Railroad Node to and From, railroad line ownership, railroad owner short, railroads that have trackage rights over the line, passenger service on the line (Amtrak, Maryland Area Rail Commuter Agency (MARC), Tourist Lines, etc.), Railroad Division, Railroad Subdivision, Railroad Dispatcher. Data is then matched up up to WV GIS Tech center mosaic and cleaned up. Additional railroad lines are added where there are multiple tracks to represent the railroad line.

Description: *This layer is primarily composed of U.S. Census Data, but also contains updated polygons for incorporated places that have submitted annexed town boundaries to the WVDOT.Incorporated places are concentrations of population such as cities, towns, and villages, thathave legally prescribed boundaries, powers, and functions. Incorporated Places weredownloaded from the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line Shapefiles 2023.Demographic data was joined to this feature class in the following fields:PopCalcYear contains the year that the PopCalc data is from.PopCalc contains total population estimates 2018-2022, Table DP05,PopDecYear contains the year of the latest biennial census survey.PopDecCount contains the 2020 official U.S. census population count.

Description: This data was developed by the United States Forest Service, and is frequently updated as boundaries are corrected or adjusted. There are several datasets available, each clipped to different extents or containing unique information. Each is described below: National Forest Proclamation Boundaries, 2004. This data has been clipped to the West Virginia boundary and contains the full extents of lands within the Monongahela, George Washington and the Jefferson National Forests. Since these are proclamation boundaries, the forest service does not own all land within the boundary, but may operate within the area.National Forest Surface Ownership Boundaries, 2005. These files contain polygons of the lands within the proclamation boundaries of each forest that the USFS actually owns and/or manages.National Forests of the Surrounding Region, 2004. These files are the complete boundaries of the National Forests that abut or are proximal to West Virginia.
Description: National parks. Existing or proposed boundaries for Bluestone National Scenic River, Gauley River National Recreation Area, and New River Gorge National River originated from deed descriptions located at the Land Resources Office, New River Gorge National River. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park boundary was extracted from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' (BTS) 2000 National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD-2000), version 2.0, release 0. This GIS coverage was originally created in November 2000, boundaries for Bluestone National Scenic River, Gauley River National Recreation Area, and New River Gorge National River were updated in September 2003 with new information from the National Park Service.
