Abstract
This point data layer represents buildings for Washburn County, Wisconsin in 2017. It is a feature class within the geodatabase, Washburn_Buildings_2017.gdb. [This data set consists of digital map files containing addressing or building information obtained primarily by conducting lab work using aerial imagery. Features contained in the data set include all building or primary structure points countywide and associated attributes. Building points sometimes are referred to as primary structures, however these data typically represent the main building(s) that have been addressed on each parcel. The Washburn County plans to maintain this digital data in ESRI's ArcGIS 9.x geodatabase environment using ArcMap tools. Some of the data was developed using field data collection techniques and field data collection will be used extensively to maintain the data. There are attributes in the data documenting the source for each record. Site access points are always present as a related feature class, however not all site access points are accompanied by a building point.]
Purpose
This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [There are numerous reasons for developing the building feature class. 1) Existing address documentation; 2) Enhance methodology to issue new addresses; 3) Provide locational information for emergency services within Washburn County; 4) Publish hard copy map products like platbooks and emergency services atlases 5) Help maintain accurate parcel addresses in the property tax database; 6) Help improve the accuracy of the telephone company's ANI/ALI database 7) Many other uses in other County Departments]
