Data Description

The municipal ward boundary is a publication of polygons of city wards in Arkansas. The Arkansas GIS Office maintains this file in coordination with the municipalities of the State. It represents the contemporary wards of the city. The exterior ward boundaries are derived from the municipal boundary. When necessary the data was adjusted to conform to known physical features. This dataset does not represent exact legal boundaries as per surveyed description, but, rather a set of boundaries used for the administrative purposes that conforms to logical & administrative rules. These polygons may be edited for the purpose of small spatial alignment changes based on new, enhanced or improved supporting basemap data, such as orthoimagery, public land survey, or cadastral data that improves the spatial accuracy of the existing geometry.
