However, this dataset DOES NOT attempt to provide a legally definitive boundary.\n\nThe layer was originally developed from TBHASH, which was the master VGIS town boundary layer prior to the development and release of BNDHASH.\nBy integrating village, town, county, RPC, and state boundaries into a single layer,\nVCGI has assured vertical integration of these boundaries and simplified maintenance.\nBNDHASH also includes annotation text for town, county, and RPC names.\n\nBNDHASH includes the following feature classes:\n\n1) BNDHASH_POLY_VILLAGES = Vermont villages\n2) BNDHASH_POLY_TOWNS = Vermont towns\n3) BNDHASH_POLY_COUNTIES = Vermont counties\n4) BNDHASH_POLY_RPCS = Vermont's Regional Planning Commissions\n5) BNDHASH_POLY_VTBND = Vermont's state boundary\n6) BNDHASH_LINE = Lines on which all POLY feature classes are built\n\nThe master BNDHASH data is managed as an ESRI geodatabase feature dataset by VCGI. The dataset stores village,\ntown, county, RPC, and state boundaries as seperate feature classes with a set of topology rules which binds the features.\nThis arrangement assures vertical integration of the various boundaries. VCGI will update this layer on an annual\nbasis by reviewing records housed in the VT State Archives - Secretary of State's Office.\nVCGI also welcomes documented information from VGIS users which identify boundary errors.\n\nNOTE - VCGI has NOT attempted to create a legally definitive boundary layer.\nInstead the idea is to maintain an integrated village/town/county/RPC/state boundary layer which provides for a\nreasonably accurate representation of these boundaries (refer to ARC_SRC and SRC_NOTES).\nBNDHASH includes all counties, towns, and villages listed in \"Population and Local Government - State of Vermont - 2000\" published by the Secretary of State.\nBNDHASH may include changes endorsed by the Legislature since the publication of this document in 2000 (eg: villages merged with towns).\nUtlimately the Vermont Secratary of State's Office and the VT Legislature are responsible for maintaining\ninformation which accurately describes the locations of these boundaries. BNDHASH should be used for general\nmapping purposes only.\n\n* Users who wish to determine which boundaries are different from the original TBHASH boundaries should refer\nto the ORIG_ARC field in the BOUNDARY_BNDHASH_LINE (line feature with attributes). Also, updates to BNDHASH are tracked by version\nnumber (ex: 2003A). The UPDACT field is used to track changes between versions. The UPDACT field is flushed\nbetween versions.", "summary": "Depict Vermont's village, town, county, RPC, administrative, and state boundary lines.", "title": "BoundaryOther_BNDHASH", "tags": [ "boundaries", "Vermont", "boundaries", "villages", "towns", "county", "RPC", "LEPC", "Vermont" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "VCGI", "licenseInfo": "Although every effort has been made to assure the\naccuracy of features and their attributes, VCGI is not accountable for any\nerrors or misuse of the data.
