Henderson County 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 three formats:
ESRI's *.shp.xml -- in Green
ASCII text (tab format) *.txt -- in Red
HTML format *.html -- in Blue
*All formats are FGDC compliant.

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. Henderson County does not redistribute these datasets. The primary source (provider) should be contacted to obtain metadata.
