Courthouse Buildings
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data
Other_Citation_Details:
This dataset contains point features representing some types of courthouse buildings in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This includes county courthouses, state supreme courthouses, and the Supreme Court of the United States. The purpose is to document the spatial location and physical address of courthouse buildings for general cartographic representation purposes on USGS mapping products at 1:24,000 scale. This dataset does not contain appellate courts, federal courts, tribal courts, municipal, village, or town courts, specialty courts (e.g., family, probate, juvenile, or bankruptcy courts), or historic courthouse buildings which no longer function as an active court. The information in this dataset was collected between 2017 and 2018 by volunteers through the USGS The National Map Corps (TNMCorps) crowdsourcing project. Although these data and associated metadata have been reviewed for accuracy and completeness, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the display or utility of the data on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. Supplemental information: The County level court buildings handle the bulk of county-level court functions, usually located in the city designated as a county seat. The state supreme courthouse data represents the court buildings, usually located in the city designated as the state capital, which house the ultimate judicial tribunal in a state's court system. The Supreme Court of the United States is represented by a single data point. County level courts are referred to differently in different states. The data points for county courthouses may also contain superior, circuit, and district courts where the "County" court designation does not apply within an individual state court system.

City and Town Hall Buildings
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data
Other_Citation_Details:
This dataset contains points representing city hall and town hall government buildings in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This includes a building or building complex that serves as a primary location for a local or municipal government’s administrative functions. These buildings are generally called City Hall, Town Hall, Village Hall, Municipal Building, Municipal Center, City Building or similar designation. The purpose of this dataset is to document the spatial location of such buildings for general cartographic representation purposes on USGS mapping products at 1:24,000 scale. Supplemental information: Excluded are county, state, or federal level administration buildings or historical buildings that are no longer used for government administration. This dataset is dynamic and not complete at this time. Additions and updates are provided by volunteers through the USGS' The National Map Corps (TNMCorps) crowdsourcing project. Although these data and associated metadata have been reviewed for accuracy and completeness, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the display or utility of the data on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.

Fire Stations
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data
Other_Citation_Details:
This dataset contains points representing building locations of fire stations in the United States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Included are manned fire stations and buildings from which a fire response occurs, such as a volunteer fire department building to which fire fighters report for duty, but which is not continuously manned. Some locations are approximate. Locations solely for storing or maintaining fire equipment, or fire stations without a permanent location, or locations with only administrative functions are generally excluded. This data set may not be complete and is subject to change at any time.
