The parcel data set delineates the tax parcels in Lincoln County, Wisconsin. Each parcel is attributed with the county's parcel identification number (PIN). The PIN is used to relate parcels to real property listing databases. Parcel boundaries were derived from a variety of sources including GPS control, digital orthophotography, original PLSS plat maps, an adjusted version of the WDNR LandNet, scanned/registered tax parcel assessment sheets, legal descriptions, certified survey maps (CSMs), subdivision plats, as well as road centerlines and hydrology. These source materials were of several different scales and were from dates ranging from the 1850's to present. Parcels were mapped to fit within Lincoln County's Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid using coordinate geometry (COGO) or screen digitizing. |
