Description: This dataset is one of several available datasets related to California counties that were created as a group designed to work in topological sync with each other. Further details about these paired datasets can be found in their respective metadata. Further details about the full process and update notes can be found in the GDB container metadata.This specific dataset represents the basic (ie simplified) county dataset without the extra coding that can be found in the "full" dataset. In this dataset, all bays (plus bay islands and constructed features) are merged into the mainland, and coastal features (such as islands and constructed features) are not included.

Description: Complete accounting of all incorporated cities, including the boundary and name of each individual city. From 2009 to 2022 CAL FIRE maintained this dataset by processing and digitally capturing annexations sent by the state Board of Equalization (BOE). In 2022 CAL FIRE began sourcing data directly from BOE, in order to allow the authoritative department to provide data directly. This data is then adjusted so it resembles the previous formats.Processing includes:Clipping the dataset to traditional state boundariesErasing areas that span the San Francisco Bay (derived from calw221.gdb)Querying for incorporated areas onlyDissolving each incorporated polygon into a single featureCalculating the COUNTY field to remove the word 'County'Version 22_1 is based on BOE_CityCounty_20220225, and includes all annexations present in BOE_CityAnx2022_20220225 and BOE_CityAnx2023_20220223.Note: The Board of Equalization represents incorporated city boundaries as extending significantly into waterways, including beyond coastal boundaries. To see the representation in its original form please reference the datasets listed above.

Description: CAL FIRE adminstrative levels include statewide (Headquarters), Regions and Units. This dataset provides the polygons associated with CAL FIRE field Units, and contract counties.V16_1 notes: Updated to match cnty15_1 where appropriate, especially along the coastline.V18_1 notes: Updated to match cnty18_1 where there was a boundary change between Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties.V18_2 notes: Updated to match cnty18_2 where there was a boundary change between Madera and Fresno Counties.V19_1 notes: Updated schema to have unit and unitcode as seperate fields and remove domains, in order to make it easier to query those fields from a Map Service. Also includes and adjustment to the Los Angeles County - Orange County boundary to match changes in cnty19_1.
