Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This feature class contains line features which depict highways within the 16 county North Central Texas Council of Governments service area. Despite the table name, the data contains more than just limited access highways. Most US Routes and State Highways are included, although business routes are excluded.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>TRN_STREETS is the authoritative record of street centerlines within Fort Worth City Limits. This feature class is maintained by Development Services and includes information which supports development planning, such as address range and street classification. As new subdivisions are platted, street segments are added by Development Services as a precursor to address assignment. Both public and private streets are included in this data, which is noted in the field PRIVATE.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">Note: </SPAN><SPAN>Speed limits in the SPEED_LIMIT field are procedurally generated based on the CLASS field and may not reflect the posted speed limit. This value is used to estimate emergency vehicle travel times.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>These segments are further processed and combined with datasets for adjacent 911 agencies as a basis for Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) routing for emergency services.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This feature class is a polygon representation of lakes and large ponds in North Central Texas.

Following the schema updates, newer NHD waterbody data was loaded to replace historic data of unknown provenance dating to the 1990s. The NHD data was first filtered to the 16 county area of interest, then filtered by FTYPE 39004 or 39009 (Lake/Pond: Perennial and Lake/Pond: Perennial - average water elevation). Any named waterbodies were captured along with waterbodies larger than 10,000 sq ft.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) represents the water drainage network of the United States with features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, coastline, dams, and streamgages. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>It has been retired as of October 2023, so updates are not anticipated in the near future.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This feature class is a polygon representation of rivers and select large streams in North Central Texas.

Following the schema updates, newer NHD area data was loaded to replace historic data of unknown provenance dating to the 1990s. The NHD data was filter on FTYPE = 46006 (Stream/River: Perennial) and clipped to the 16 county area of interest. IT-GIS joined USGS Geographic Names Information Systems (GNIS) data to the geometry to provide name information for polygons. IT-GIS also split two items (NHD_PERM_ID 131643486 and 131642614) as these had originally included two waterways. Finally, IT-GIS revised the geometry of the West Fork Trinity River to the North and East of Downtown Fort Worth to better reflect channelization efforts since the USGS data was digitized.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) represents the water drainage network of the United States with features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, coastline, dams, and streamgages.
