Usually yes, but it’s often up to the surveyor or home owner to send the gis data to the gis department of the county/city. It really depends on the jurisdiction. Source: have been the gis manager for local jurisdictions in the past.

Wetlands and pony pasture are a must, especially when snappers are breeding. I’ve had really good luck at Bryan park, Both types of sliders there in abundance. Hit me up if you want to go herping together, I go at least a few times a week

Totally agree. It’s like they’re baiting Richmond?

The wetlands! Part of the JRPS, in Richmond city, has views of the water, the wetlands, and is very flat. It has boardwalks, gravel trails, and natural surface trails. It also connects up to pony pasture and hugeunot flatwater relatively easily! I’ve been going for years to get some solidarity, bird watch, and to look for snakes and small critters. I’m always shocked how uncrowded my favorite park in the city is. I will say, It is rather confusing calling a park “the wetlands”, but here we are. I’d also recommend going to the JRPS website and looking at their maps, The city is full trails, mostly running parallel to the river. Unless I’m going to the mountains or the beach, I’d argue that the nature views right in Richmond city can’t be beat.

Although it’s well known, please don’t blow up this spot even more

Vermont is beautiful and all, but please, the south is not a monolith. It’s full a great cities, nature, and culture, not to mention diversity that Vermont definitely does not have. Please understand that these places and experiences you’re referring sound crappy, and I’m sorry for you, but they do not represent the entire southeast.
