20210202 19345700 1.0 TRUE communities_w_muni communities RSC regional services center municipality municipalities city limits denizens citizens This layer was created by overlaying official municipalities atop our TEBS-GIS' "Communities" layer. The Communities layer was created in 2009 to describe areas often referenced by denizens, as many areas of the County are not within an official municipality with city limits. The five Regional Services Center directors at the time worked with DTS-GIS staff to create geographic areas with which citizens identify, since some of the general place names such as “Bethesda” and “Silver Spring” can cover large swaths of the County and are not specific enough for certain purposes. As County departments used the Communities layer, they realized it would be useful to immediately see it in the context of which areas were within the city limits of one of the County's municipalities. Hence, this layer was created to provide the "best of both worlds." /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAAAAAAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgHBwcJCQgKDBQNDAsLDBkSEw8UHRofHh0a HBwgJC4nICIsIxwcKDcpLDAxNDQ0Hyc5PTgyPC4zNDL/2wBDAQkJCQwLDBgNDRgyIRwhMjIyMjIy MjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjL/wAARCADIASwDAREA AhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQA AAF9AQIDAAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkKFhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3 ODk6Q0RFRkdISUpTVFVWV1hZWmNkZWZnaGlqc3R1dnd4eXqDhIWGh4iJipKTlJWWl5iZmqKjpKWm p6ipqrKztLW2t7i5usLDxMXGx8jJytLT1NXW19jZ2uHi4+Tl5ufo6erx8vP09fb3+Pn6/8QAHwEA AwEBAQEBAQEBAQAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtREAAgECBAQDBAcFBAQAAQJ3AAECAxEEBSEx BhJBUQdhcRMiMoEIFEKRobHBCSMzUvAVYnLRChYkNOEl8RcYGRomJygpKjU2Nzg5OkNERUZHSElK U1RVVldYWVpjZGVmZ2hpanN0dXZ3eHl6goOEhYaHiImKkpOUlZaXmJmaoqOkpaanqKmqsrO0tba3 uLm6wsPExcbHyMnK0tPU1dbX2Nna4uPk5ebn6Onq8vP09fb3+Pn6/9oADAMBAAIRAxEAPwD3+gAo AKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgA oAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACg AoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKAC gAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKA CgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAK ACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoA KACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAo AKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgA oAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKAMvUNcsdNRWuHcZYoNqE5I6iqowdZtQ6GdWrGm ryLdlew39qtxbkmNumRinUpypy5ZDhNTjzRLNQWFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFA BQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQBk32lpe20sUkKPvLY3dOT1+tZR9pTlzw 31FOMZrllsaEEYhgjiAACqBgVrdvWW40ktETUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFAB QAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQBWuJzCqlV3FmxyenGaznPlsBi6 Xrt7f6nJayad5SJyX3dB2PvXbKlSVJTjK9zmhWqSnyuJ0dcx0hQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAF ABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUARyt5cTuOqqTUydk2BzmoatrMF7bxW1tE8UhVSxU8MRnFdGF9j ODdV2aOatOrGSUFodHHv8tfMAD4G7HTPtWTtfQ6Fe2pJSGFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQBFLGJNozjac9 PbH9amUeYCOG2EMzy7izOAOnQCpjDld7gWa0AKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACg AoAKACgAoAKACgBroHRlPQjBpNXVgIDaIWRiWOwgj61n7JXTHcs1qIKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAK ACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoA KACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAo AKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKAIbicQRhypbJAwPeon PkVwRhW/iX7TqxsFspw4Yg888d/TH4/4V2/Vl7P2nMv6/H8DmWJvPk5f6/rzOjrlOkKACgAoAKAC gAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgCOWZIVDOTgnAwO9TKSirsDKg8R2FzqBso 2k84Nt5jIGfSul4aooc5gsRBy5FubNYG4UAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQBDPF5qqAQCrBufaonHmQEMV p5dz5xKcJsAC47560oxknvoGm5crQAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKA CgAoAKAILiIyhAADtcMQaznHmSGijaaXHb6i10sKKxjCbv4jz1NOMqiSg37qI5I83NbU0ZpBDC8h GQoziiUuVNlGBdeJ/s+qx2IsZHZ8YYOOc+g711UaCq0+fmt+nqc1TEOE+TlLGrDUZoZksbjyZNwC k4wBjJzXPRqRhVbqK8TWrGcoe47Ml0Fb3+y43vpzJLJ83I+6PStq06c3emtCaMZqPvvU1qyNgoAK ACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgCOa PzYnjzjcMZqJR5otAVvsWbiKUlBsJbAHUmpUJJ76BoWGgifO5Ad3X3qnCL3AeiKihVACjoBVJJKy AdTAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKA CgAoAKACgAoAKAM+/wBTj0+GSSSKWTy03kRgE4zj1pQtKap7XJnLki5EOi63FrUTyRQyIEOMtgg/ Qiuivh3Std7mdGuquyNasDYhuJhbwtIVLYxwKic+SNwMFvEs39s/2eNOkPzbd2/k+44x+v5V1woQ nS5+b+vz/A5pV5Kpycp0lc50hQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQA UAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAVZoDJIWwjAgDDexJrKUG3cYWNr9lgMfy5LFjt6c1Uea3vPUVkti1V gQzxedHtzjkHOPQ1M48ysBAtni6jmLL8gYABcdetQoST307BoXa1AKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKA CgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAa52oxHYZpN2QHManqetxT24s4YWjcqGOzoT2 OT6elaYSVGcX7Z2f9epz13Wi17PY6SLzPKTzQokwN23pnviola75djdXtqS0DCgAoAKACgAoAKAC gAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgAoAKACgBCAQQehoeoFY 2cZCAs5CEEDPpWXsY6eQ7lqtRBQAUAFABQAUAMZ1QEswAHUk9KFq7IAR1kUMjBlPQg5FDTTsxJp7 D6BhQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQA UAFABQAUAc/q+mRaks8UzMg3hgyjkYXjH41lRqujWc1/SIq0lUhyst6Fp0enaaiKWLv8zljyTXRU xDr2k1YmlSVJWRq1BqFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFA BQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAF ABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUA FABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFABQAUAFAH//Z
