Welcome to the Arlington County Maps and Data web pages. Compiled here are the most up-to-date data and maps of Arlington
County, including a wide variety of population, housing, land use, and geographic information about the County.
The GIS Mapping Center published their 2009 set of products. This includes a 487 page Real Estate Map Book in both hard copy and PDF format and a GIS data CD.
The street names used in our GIS are the most current and official listing of names and spellings. We checked the County records from 1934 (when the board approved new street names) forwards to find any changes and applied those corrections in 1999. We are very confident that our listing is correct according to the County records. The Post Office does not assign street names so they are not the authority. Also if you spot an incorrect spelling on a street sign, please report it.
This PDF contains a compiled list of errors our cartographers and others have reported finding on Google Maps. If you find any others on Google or other services please email us the errors and we will list them. As these are private firms we are not able to make/force any changes but we can at least list their errors. Please send any errors to the contact listed at the bottom of this page for the GIS Mapping Center.
Digital copies of old aerial photo’s are now available online for viewing. Use our document viewer site to click on a map of the County to retrieve a list of all available images at that location. You can then download any of the images as Adobe PDF’s. Images date from 1934 to 1989. Not all sets cover the entire county however. You can also view the yearly indexes and access the PDF’s in our online mapping service (see link below for Interactive Maps).
Remember when using online mapping services, companies may not have the latest street data displayed. Be careful not to mistake the copyright date for the date of currency. If doubts still persist, check Arlington’s GIS Mapping Center’s interactive mapping site which displays Arlington County’s most recent street data.
