Scenic Easements in Prince George's County.

The Scenic Easement Layer is a graphic representation of one of the various conservation easements in Prince George's County. This layer is important when making long-range land use planning decisions, and also when on-site development activities occur. This layer is to be used as a tool by the Planning Department when analyzing and researching properties in Prince George's County. It is understood that this layer, for some time to come, will be incomplete, and, it may never be 100% complete simply because of the nature of easements and the fact that they can be established at different times in the process and through different means. The original easement data was recorded up to 2002, known in this layer as legacy data, when updates ceased until project continuation September 2010. Scenic Easements are recorded easements that protect identified scenic elements or viewsheds mainly along designated special roadways that include the parkways, scenic byways and county designated scenic and historic roads.
