Abstract
This data layer represents addresses for Polk County, Wisconsin in 2019. [This dataset was the result of a 2006 digital map address inventory identification project. The purpose of the project was to identify each geographic address location within Polk County except for the cities and villages who assign their own address. A point map feature was digitized (placed) at each driveway access location that had an existing structure. The primary reference material used for this project were historical Lange Enterprises hardcopy maps located in the Division of Zoning, Department of Land Information, County of Polk, Wisconsin. Also, Polk County 1996 and 2006 aerial imagery were used for address point placement.Polk County 2006, 2010, 2015 Aerial imagery is the primary reference material used to assign new addresses. ArcGIS Online World Imagery file and NAIP imagery are also used for reference purposes. The Zoning Division also uses a Trimble GPS unit to collect gps points of new driveway locations.In the year 2013, the Polk County Sheriff's Department requested that address points be added within cities and villages for reference purposes. The Department of Land Information has been placing address points in the cities and villages that are parcel mapped using the Polk County 2010 aerial image as a reference. Since Polk County doesn't assign addresses within cities and villages this data may not be accurate or complete.]
Purpose
This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [Addressing, E911, and general mapping purposes. The creation of the Polk County RURAL NUMBERING SYSTEM (POLK COUNTY FIRE NUMBER ADDRESS SYSTEM) was adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Polk County, Wisconsin in 1978. Each of the 24 Towns in Polk County participates in the address and road system. Each of the 12 cities and villages, within the geographic boundary of Polk County, has their own address and road system. Town address points are used for the purpose in assigning new and maintaining record of physical real property address locations. These address points are also used in the E911 dispatch mapping center for 911 caller location. City and Village address points are used in aiding the E911 system.]
