Description: The All Places of Worship dataset was created from the IRS master files containing the public national record of all 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations (found at https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/exempt-organizations-business-master-file-extract-eo-bmf). The dataset was queried to include only places of worship and geocoded the dataset using the reported places of worship addresses to create a geospatially enabled All Places of Worship dataset. The dataset was delivered to the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD), and the HIFLD Support Team (HST) performed some quality control (QC) tasks on the dataset, such as populating metadata based on the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File Extract (EO BMF).

Description: This Public Schools feature dataset is composed of all Public elementary and secondary education facilities in the United States as defined by the Common Core of Data (CCD, https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/ ), National Center for Education Statistics (NCES, https://nces.ed.gov ), US Department of Education for the 2019-2020 school year. This includes all Kindergarten through 12th grade schools as tracked by the Common Core of Data. Included in this dataset are military schools in US territories and referenced in the city field with an APO or FPO address. DOD schools represented in the NCES data that are outside of the United States or US territories have been omitted. This feature class contains all MEDS/MEDS+ as approved by NGA. Complete field and attribute information is available in the ”Entities and Attributes” metadata section. Geographical coverage is depicted in the thumbnail above and detailed in the Place Keyword section of the metadata. This release includes the addition of 3917 new records, modifications to the spatial location and/or attribution of 97,771 records, and removal of 4563 records not present in the NCES CCD data.

Description: Historical markers have been a part of the Texas landscape since 1936, when the Texas Centennial Commission placed more than 900 markers and monuments around the state to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Texas Revolution and the establishment of the Republic of Texas. The current Official Texas Historical Marker program dates to 1962, and it has been a popular means for interpreting local and state history and encouraging heritage tourism for almost four decades. Probably the most visible program of the Texas Historical Commission, historical markers commemorate diverse topics - from the history and architecture of houses, commercial and public buildings, religious congregations and events that changed the course of local and state history, to individuals who have made lasting contributions to our state, community organizations and businesses, military sites, and many more. Age, significance and architectural requirements govern the eligibility of topics and sites when applying for either a subject marker or a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark marker.
Description: Texas is home to more than 2,000 museums. Whether housed in a historic structure or a state-of-the art new building, each one is dedicated to telling the story of a community’s unique history. The list of museums in this database continues to grow. This is not a complete list of Texas museums. Any museum can contact Museum Services Program staff to learn how to add a museum to this database. The information is provided by each museum and is kept up to date by the museum. Changes and updates to museum listings can be submitted through the Report Error function on the Atlas.
Description: The National Park Service (NPS) maintains the National Register of Historic Places, the nation's official list of properties significant in American history, architecture and archeology. More than 3,200 properties and sites in Texas have been added to this list, providing a comprehensive and growing index of Texas' cultural resources.

Description: This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the United States and its Territories. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). The National Wetlands Inventory - Version 2, Surface Waters and Wetlands Inventory was derived by retaining the wetland and deepwater polygons that compose the NWI digital wetlands spatial data layer and reintroducing any linear wetland or surface water features that were orphaned from the original NWI hard copy maps by converting them to narrow polygonal features. Additionally, the data are supplemented with hydrography data, buffered to become polygonal features, as a secondary source for any single-line stream features not mapped by the NWI and to complete segmented connections. Wetland mapping conducted in WA, OR, CA, NV and ID after 2012 and most other projects mapped after 2015 were mapped to include all surface water features and are not derived data. The linear hydrography dataset used to derive Version 2 was the U.S. Geological Survey's National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Specific information on the NHD version used to derive Version 2 and where Version 2 was mapped can be found in the 'comments' field of the Wetlands_Project_Metadata feature class. Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and near shore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. By policy, the Service also excludes certain types of "farmed wetlands" as may be defined by the Food Security Act or that do not coincide with the Cowardin et al. definition. Contact the Service's Regional Wetland Coordinator for additional information on what types of farmed wetlands are included on wetland maps. This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Wetlands_Project_Metadata layer, which contains project specific wetlands mapping procedures and information on dates, scales and emulsion of imagery used to map the wetlands within specific project boundaries.
