Boundaries of municipalities which do not participate in the Powell Bill Program are also included in the layer. These boundaries are periodically updated from maps and GIS data submitted by the local towns or counties to the North Carolina Department of Transportation - GIS Unit. Sources for the boundaries vary in scale and format based on what was supplied. Purpose: This data were created to assist governmental agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS). Municipal boundaries are recognized as a base cartographic layer for location analysis. Supplemental_Information: 2006 Powell Bill Information: 505 Cities/Towns are participating in the Powell Bill Program. This includes Butner, which is federal property and is not considered an incorporated town. 45 Cities/Towns are not participating in the Powell Bill Program, but are incorporated and are included in the layer. Total: 550 Cities/Towns. Powell Bill Participants are responsible for submitting paper maps to the NCDOT Powell Bill Administration annually, if there have been changes to their boundaries since the previous year. For the Powell Bill Participants, the NCDOT GIS Unit updates the boundaries for the municipalities that have submitted maps. For Non-Powell Bill Participants, the NCDOT GIS Unit updates the boundaries periodically. Sources for these updates come from contacting the local government agencies. Attributes for all municipalities are updated on an annual basis, where applicable.

Some informal attribute validation was applied. Logical_Consistency_Report: Topology was verified to check for overlapping polygons. Completeness_Report: These data represent the locations and identities of incorporated municipalities in North Carolina according to the North Carolina State Demographics Unit. Butner is unincorporated, but is included in this dataset because it is a Powell Bill Participant. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of the individual municipal boundaries in this data set vary according to the sources of the boundaries and other resources used as reference to digitize the boundaries. Sources for the boundaries vary in scale and format based on whatever the municipality supplied. Other resources used as reference are submitted do the Department of Transportation - GIS Unit by local government agencies in GIS format. The Department of Transportation - GIS Unit should be contacted for specific information on a particular municipality.
