  1. Title: Erosion Hazards of Monterey County, California, 2001

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts hazardous areas of relative soil erosion for Monterey County, California. Erosion can be defined as the wearing away of the land surface by flowing water, waves, or wind, or by such process as mass wasting and corrosion. Water and wind erosion are important in assessing the health of the soil and in assessing the soil's potential for different uses. Removal of increasing amounts of soil increasingly alters various properties and capabilities of the soil. Properties and qualities affected include bulk density, permeability, organic matter content, tilth, and can degrade surface water quality. In Monterey County, farming is a major source of employment and revenue; hence, protecting the county's soil resources is important. This layer is part of a collection describing Geology resources and constraints Monterey County, California. The purpose of this map is to provide a comparison of relative soil erosion hazards for regional planning studies. County of Monterey, Environmental Resource Policy Department and Rosenberg, Lewis I.

  6. Title: Census Places, Monterey County, California, 2010

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile represents 2010 census designated places (CDP) in Monterey County, California. Places, for the reporting of decennial census data, include census designated places, consolidated cities, and incorporated places. Each place is assigned a five-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code, based on the alphabetical order of the place name within each state. If place names are duplicated within a state, and they represent distinctly different areas, a separate code is assigned to each place name alphabetically by primary county in which each place is located, or if both places are in the same county, alphabetically by their legal description (for example, ''city'' before ''village''). Census designated places (CDPs) are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide census data for concentrations of population, housing, and commercial structures that are identifiable by name but are not within an incorporated place. CDP boundaries usually are defined in cooperation with state, local, and tribal officials. These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or other legal entity boundary, have no legal status, nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions. CDP boundaries may change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary.Consolidated City. An incorporated place that has combined its governmental functions with a county or subcounty entity but contains one or more other incorporated places that continue to function as local governments within the consolidated government. This layer is part of a collection of GIS data for Monterey County in California. This dataset is intended for researchers, students, and policy makers 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.

  11. Title: Catch Basins and Culverts, Monterey County, California, 2015

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile depicts catch basins and culverts within Monterey County, California. The source data for this layer is the "Monterey Regional Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan" by the Resource Management Agency Department of Public Works.
