Description:
Abstract:
This data set consists of digital map files containing parcel-level cadastral information obtained from property descriptions. Cadastral features contained in the data set include real property boundary lines, rights-of-way boundaries, property dimensions, platted land boundaries, and associated text features. The files were prepared at one-inch-equals-100-feet scale in urban areas of the County and one-inch-equals-200-feet scale in rural areas of the County. The original digital map files are in GenaMap format and are maintained in GenaMap. The GenaMap files
are converted to ESRI shape file format for distribution purposes.
Purpose:
This data set was collected as a foundational element for the Racine County Land Information System. The data set provides real property boundary information to be used with large-scale topographic mapping, zoning mapping, and other resource mapping.

Access Constraints: There are no legal prerequisites for accessing this data set. Potential users should contact the Racine County Department of Planning and Development.
Use Constraints:
This data set was originally prepared with land records and tax roll information from various years, and since has been maintained by Racine County on a quarterly basis. Neither Racine County nor the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission prepared the original records, and the County and Commission do not make any representations concerning, or assume any responsibility for, the accuracy of the information contained in this data set. These data are not intended to depict boundary line discrepancies, lines of possession, or any other matters that a true and accurate land survey would disclose. All distributed digital data is sent out with Racine County's Disclaimer of Warranty.

Data Quality Information
Section Index
Logical Consistency Report:
The features in this data set were collected using either board digitization or coordinate geometry (COGO) input methods. The staff of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission conducted a review of the completeness, accuracy, and integrity of the digital map files. The data set contains lines that intersect where intended; there are no overshoots or undershoots; and all areas are completely described. The area features are topologically structured polygon data with nodes at all intersections.
Completeness Report:
This data set contains digital cadastral map files that cover the entirety of Racine County. To the best knowledge of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission GIS Division, this data set includes all of the intended features from the source material available to the staff at the time of mapping.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
This data set was prepared to meet National Map Accuracy Standards for one-inch-equals-100-feet scale and one-inch-equals-200-feet scale mapping. According to these standards, ninety percent or more of all well-defined planimetric features are within 3.3 feet of their true position for 100-scale mapping, and ninety percent or more of all well-defined planimetric features are within 6.6 feet of their true position for 200-scale mapping. This cadastral mapping data set generally does not depict well-defined planimetric features, but does represent property boundaries and other cadastral boundary lines to the tolerance of National Map Accuracy Standards.

Process Description:
A small portion of this data set (T4N R20E and T4N R21E) was collected by board digitization of manually-drafted hardcopy cadastral maps. The majority of the data set was prepared using coordinate geometry (COGO) input methods.

Overview Description:
Entity and Attribute Overview:
This data set consists of vector map files and text map files originally organized by U. S. Public Land Survey System quarter-section (for 100-scale mapping) or USPLSS section (for 200-scale mapping). Each set of map files are merged into layers covering either a Survey Township or by the entire County of Racine. The digital map files contain groups of cadastral features, collected by board digitization and coordinate geometry (COGO) input methods.
The vector map files consist of the following map prefixes and features:
RW: Rights-of-way
PL: Parcel Lines
PA: Parcel Areas
EA: Easements
SD: Subdivisions
CP: Condominium
CD: Civil Division
The text map files consist of the following map prefixes/suffix and features:
RW_text: Right-of-way
PD_text: Parcel Dimension
PI_text: Parcel ID Number
SD_text: Subdivision
CD_text: Civil Division
EA_text: Easements
The original map files were prepared in GenaMap and are maintained in GenaMap. They are converted to ESRI shapefile format for distribution. The files consist of graphic map features only and do not contain attributes at this time. The exception to this is the parcel area layer which does contain limited owner information and tax roll data.
Entity and Attribute Detail Citation:
Detailed information about the features contained in this data set are contained in two documents entitled "Specifications for GenaMap Cadastral Arc/Node Maps" and "Specifications for GenaMap Cadastral Text Maps", both written by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission GIS Division. The Commission and the Racine County Department of Planning and Development Land Information Office hold copies of these specifications.
