This data set is a spatial representation of counties in New Jersey developed by the New Jersey Office of Information Technology (OIT), Office of Geographic Information Systems (OGIS). It is not a survey document and should not be used as such. The polygons delineated in this data set do not represent legal boundaries.
This data set improves upon previous versions of county boundaries through the integration of coincident features from several high quality source data sets, as a component of the OGIS statewide Parcels Normalization Project concluded in March 2010. Updates continue to be made as necessary.
To provide basic jurisdictional information. This data set was developed to produce the most accurate delineation of county boundaries achievable from existing data sources.
Spatially referenced data were derived from the following GIS data sets to build the municipal boundaries this data set is aggregated from. They include:
Delaware Geological Survey - New Jersey/Delaware boundary data
New Jersey Department of Agriculture, State Agricultural Development Committee, Farmland Preservation Program - preserved farmland boundary data from property surveys
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Green Acres Program - open space boundary data from property surveys
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - New Jersey/New York boundary data for Ellis Island
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - hydro (stream) centerline data
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - land use/landcover data
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Geographic Information Systems - municipal boundaries data from US Geological Survey topographic maps
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Geological Survey - New Jersey/New York boundary data for the northern border of New Jersey, and New Jersey/New York boundary data through Shooters Island off the shoreline of Bayonne
New Jersey Department of Transportation - road centerline data

Data delineated to represent the centerline of the Delaware River were developed for the project. An inventory of Delaware River islands with state jurisdiction was developed from information in "The Story Of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries 1606 - 1968" by John F. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography, Trenton, New Jersey, 1969. Using this information, a delineation was generated to represent the centerline of the Delaware River from the New Jersey/New York border to the 12 mile circle at the New Jersey/Delaware border. The delineation of the centerline of the Delaware River was generated by manually digitizing the river's visible shorelines, interpreted from New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of Geographic Information Systems 2002 orthophotography (+/-4 feet). A centerline was generated from the shorelines utilizing the DUAL COLLAPSE command in ArcGIS ArcInfo 9.2. Using the automated centerline as a guide, the final delineation was manually digitized to provide a smoother, more visually suitable centerline.
The centerline of the Delaware River represents the boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These data were used to represent municipal boundaries coincident with the river centerline as shown on municipal tax maps.

A null value polygon sliver measuring approximately 0.5 square feet was removed from Burlington County. It is assumed this data artifact developed during processing the municipalities data set, from which this data set was derived. Four null value polygon slivers measuring approximately 5 square feet were removed from Ocean County. It is assumed these data artifacts developed during use of the DISSOLVE command when converting the municipalities data set into counties. The data set was visually checked for possible additional slivers and none were found.

As a component of the New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (OGIS) Parcels Normalization Project in 2008-2010, parcels boundaries were modified to match municipal, county and state boundaries data developed by OGIS in 2008 where those boundaries were coincident. During this process, modifications were made to the municipal, county and state boundaries data sets to improve spatial and temporal accuracy where research was necessary to resolve boundary conflicts, and in areas where higher quality data became available subsequent to the 2008 boundaries data release.

Supported by tax map documentation, a modification was made to the municipal and county boundary along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond between Bernards Township in Somerset County and Harding Township in Morris County. The modification was made by the New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (OGIS) in consultation with both municipalities and counties.
It was reported by the US Census Bureau to OGIS in July 2010 that the delineation in the statewide municipal boundaries dataset was inconsistent with the municipal boundary submitted by Harding Township as part of the the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program. It was subsequently determined that the cause for the incorrect statewide municipal boundaries delineation was an incorrect delineation of a parcel (Harding Township, Block 48.01 Lot 8) in the statewide composite of parcels data (for which the parcels data were used as source data for the municipal boundaries). The west boundary of the parcel is a segment of the municipal boundary along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond.
The change to Block 48.01 Lot 8 necessitated a modification to four contiguous parcels (Harding Township, Block 48.01, Lots 4, 5, 7 and Block 52, Lot 2) in Harding Township along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond. Since the west boundaries of Block 48.01, Lots 4, 5, 7 and Block 52, Lot 2 are also segments of the municipal boundary, the municipal boundary was modified to match the change to the parcels.
Two Bernards Township parcels (Block 804, Lot 17 and Block 1701, Lot 1) in the statewide composite of parcels data were also modified to be consistent with the change to the municipal boundary and Harding Township parcels.

An update to parcel boundaries in Marlboro Township in Monmouth County necessitated a change to the municipal boundary and the Monmouth/Middlesex County boundary. The change also affected the boundaries of the adjacent municipalities of Aberdeen and Manalapan Townships in Monmouth County, and Old Bridge Township in Middlesex County. The change was up to approximately 20 feet for Marlboro, Manalapan and Old Bridge Townships, and up to approximately 0.25 feet for Aberdeen Township.

An update was made to the Woodbridge Township municipal boundary which necessitated a change to the Middlesex County boundary. The municipal and county boundary along the Arthur Kill was represented to extend out to the middle of the river to coincide with the state boundary. However, the municipal and county boundary was changed to coincide with the shoreline, based on a preponderance of supporting information. The Woodbridge Township boundary is described as the shoreline in The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries 1606 - 1968. Tax maps indicate that riparian grants were conveyed to a Pierhead Line extending out to the middle of the Arthur Kill, which approximates the state boundary and is likely the source of any ambiguity regarding the municipal and county boundary. In addition, boundaries for all other municipalities in New Jersey along the Arthur Kill coincide with the shoreline.

An improvement was made to the municipal/county boundary between Pittsgrove Township in Salem County and Vineland in Cumberland County. Segments sourced from parcel boundaries were replaced by an NJDEP hydro centerline segment and a 2007 NJOIT orthophoto delineated segment of a photo-identifiable water feature. The affected municipal/county boundary segments are coincident with the eastern boundaries of block 2502, lots 5.01, 7.01 and 17 in Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, and the western boundaries of block 2601, lots 14-18, and block 2608, lot 1 in Vineland, Cumberland County.

A correction was made to the municipal/county boundary between Clifton in Passaic County and Garfield Borough in Bergen County coincident with the centerline of the Passaic River, just south of the Garden State Parkway. A boundary segment sourced from an NJDEP hydro centerline that did not represent the middle of the river was replaced by a segment through the middle of the river delineated from 2007 NJOIT orthophotos.
