| Description | The North Carolina Department of Transportation-GIS Unit developed the digital Municipal Boundaries - Powell Bill 1994 data set from the 1994 Powell Bill boundaries which incorporated municipalities in North Carolina are required to submit to NCDOT on a regular basis. The following municipalities did not submit boundaries (they may not be incorporated any longer): Bald Head Island - Brunswick Co., Boardman - Columbus Co., Chimney Rock Village - Rutherford Co., Lake Park - Union Co., Marvin - Union Co., Momeyer - Nash Co., Sandyfield - Columbus Co., Whitsett - Guilford Co., Weddington - Union Co. The population figures in the Polygon attribute table are 1993 estimates acquired from Dean Benson in the NCDOT Program and Policy Unit. The following cities have a POP93 value of -1 because no population data were available: Palmyra, Gold Point, Research Triangle Park, Gold Hill, Chadwick Acres, Hollyville, and Varnamtown. Satellite Annexations for towns carry the same population figure that the main town polygon contains, and towns split by county lines have the same population figure in each polygon. Sources for the boundaries vary in scale and format based on whatever the municipality supplied. The October 1996 update added 1994 population figures from the Dept. of Cultural Resources, State Library of N.C. |
