Description: 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.Note: 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.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.

Description: 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. Data includes the main lanes of highways only: ramps and access roads are not documented.Note: NCTCOG's metadata includes the following caveat: This file is not for engineering purposes. This file is for reference use only.This feature class is useful when mapping areas near the city boundary, as it covers far beyond the city limits. Fields SHIELD and HWY_NUM have been set up to allow ArcGIS Pro to procedurally generate highway shields via labelling and label markers. The data within appears to have been imported into CFWGIS database from an NCTCOG dataset in 2008. No information regarding any updates since that time could be located. An updated version of the source dataset is available from NCTCOG's Open Data Hub as Highways (2024).

Description: City limits represent the corporate boundary for the City of Fort Worth. The initial boundaries were set in the city's charter and have regularly expanded through a series of ordinances in a process called Annexation. This data is managed by Fort Worth's Development Services department and is updated regularly as new annexations are completed. For more about Annexation, see Development Services' <a href='https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/development-services/annexation' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Annexation Program page</a>.<div><br /></div><div> Annexed areas fall into two categories: full purpose and limited purpose. This data includes polygons marked with a designation of either full purpose or limited purpose. Per Chapter 24 of the comprehensive plan:<div><ul><li><b>Full-purpose annexation</b> includes an area into Fort Worth and provides full municipal services including emergency response, public facilities, and maintenance of roadways and stormwater/drainage services. The city enforces all ordinances and assesses property taxes as well as sales taxes. </li><li><b>Limited-purpose annexation</b>: Fort Worth enforces planning, zoning, and health and safety ordinances. The property owners do not pay City property taxes, and the City does not provide police or fire protection, roadway maintenance, or other services. Residents can vote in City Council and charter elections, but not bond elections, and cannot run for office. The City must annex an area for full purposes within three years after limited- purpose annexation, unless a majority of the affected landowners and the City agree to extend the deadline </li></ul></div></div>

Description: This feature class is a polygon representation of rivers and select large streams in North Central Texas. The data includes rivers flowing through the 16 county North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) service area.The schema for this feature class was updated in June 2025 to better align with USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). 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.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. It has been retired as of October 2023, so updates are not anticipated in the near future. USGS is working to produce new data under the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP).
Description: This feature class is a polygon representation of lakes and large ponds in North Central Texas. The data includes waterbodies located in the 16 county North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) service area.The schema for this feature class was updated in June 2025 to better align with USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). 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.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.

Description: The extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) is a legally designated area of land located a specific distance beyond a city’s corporate boundaries that a city has authority to annex. Chapter 42 of the Texas Local Government Code defines the size of the extraterritorial boundaries according to a city’s population. The statutes allow a five mile ETJ for cities in excess of 100,000 in population. Fort Worth’s population exceeds 100,000 persons, therefore it has a five-mile ETJ. Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) is an area outside the city limits where cities can regulate some activities through agreements with the county. For more about the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, please visit Fort Worth Development Services' page on the topic. This data is updated regularly by the Development Services Department to reflect changes from new annexations.

Description: This feature class depicts railroad tracks within Fort Worth. Ownership of each individual track segment is documented, although trackage rights are not noted. Large railroads divide their network into subdivisions, and the subdivision operating each track segment is also documented in this data.Railroad tracks can be categorized into several different types depending on use, and this documented in the feature class. Mainlines are through tracks used by trains traveling between locations, and these are labeled M1 or M2 (M = Main. Double-tracked mains will have both M1 and M2 side by side.) For large scale mapping purposes, filtering the data on TRACK_TYPE IN M1 or M2 is recommended. Yards are local tracks used to disassemble, sort, reassemble, and store trains. Spurs are tracks used to deliver cars to customers for loading and unloading.This data is from an unknown source and was loaded to the CFWGIS database in 2011. Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) current North American Rail Network (NARN) dataset was created in 2016, so this data may be based on an older FRA dataset which is no longer available.Transportation Public Works operates a Railroad Safety Program to coordinate railroad crossing upgrades and quiet zones. For more about this program, please see the program website.
