GIS Metadata Page
Henderson County advocates the use of metadata. GIS metadata is detailed descriptive information about GIS data.
Metadata includes information about: the source of the data, its creation date and format, its projection, scale, resolution, accuracy, reliability and other information.
Henderson County provides metadata for base layers in *.XML format, which is viewable in a web browser or ArcCatalog.
To acquire metadata for Henderson County GIS layers, please click here.*
Not all of our data layers have metadata on this site. If you are interested in metadata for other layers please e-mail gis@hendersoncountync.org to request them.
Henderson County uses several datasets from other sources including state government. The primary source (provider) should be contacted to obtain metadata for these layers.
