This dataset represents the official boundaries of municipalities within York County. It is a polygon layer delineating the spatial extent of incorporated cities, towns, and other municipal entities. The data is compiled from authoritative sources including local government records, cadastral data, and legal boundary descriptions. It is maintained to support land-use planning, emergency response, infrastructure development, taxation, and general governance activities. Each polygon includes attributes such as the municipality name, type (e.g., city, town, borough), unique identifier codes (such as FIPS or local codes), and relevant administrative information. The dataset is intended for use in Geographic Information System (GIS) applications and is accurate to 1:2400 scale. This dataset is updated as needed and reflects the most recent boundary changes. Users are advised to consult with the respective municipal planning departments for the most up-to-date legal boundaries. |
