These county maps identify routes that make up the North Carolina Department of Transportation State Highway System. These routes are maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation and consist of Primary and Secondary roads.
The SRMU Mapping Section is beginning the process of moving its mapping operation from the MicroStation platform to the ESRI Arc platform. This change is in an effort to streamline data maintenance and to utilize the best data available. The County Maintenance Map Series will be the initial product moved to Arc. Other products will follow after the county maps are completed. Initial estimates to complete the migration of the county maps are around 7+ months. Please check this web site periodically for updates on the completion schedule and when the newly formatted county maps will be available online. During this transformation period, the SRMU Mapping Section will not be updating any map products available on our website, and the availability of staff to provide customer support will be very limited. We would like to thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to move in a direction that will better serve the public and support NCDOT’s over all Goals.
If you have questions concerning this process, time frame, or map product support please contact:

About the Bridge Location Maps
The bridge location maps are based off County Maintenance Maps. The bridge lcoations and bridge numbers were identified using information obtained from the Bridge Maintenance Unit (last updated in September, 2005). The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) data currently reflects the 2006-2012 version. The next revision date has not been set.
Federal Aid Route Maps
About Federal Aid Route Maps
The purpose of these maps is to identify routes that are eligible for release to local governments participating the debris memorandum of agreement program. In the event of a Federal Disaster Declaration, the routes that are highlighted in red receive federal reimbursements from the Federal Highway Administration and are not eligible for release to local governments that have executed debris Memorandums of Agreement (MOA) with the North Carolina Department of Transportation. Routes not highlighted in red receive federal reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and are eligible for release.

Leveling Resources
These Microstation-J files are provided by the State Road Maintenance Unit Mapping Section. They are available in meters or feet, depending on your application. The metric version of the designfiles should have all data available for all counties, including plot elements such as legends, sheet cells, titles, etc. The metric designfiles also show greater detail (on the 4X insets) that do not get converted to the designfiles stored as stateplane feet. We are providing this data with no guarantee regarding the accuracy or completeness of the data. You should examine the Leveling Chart to understand the structure of the County Maps.
Convert Metric to English
Copy the seed file (SRMU_MS_ENGLISH_seed.dgn) to your local drive. Download a copy of the metric lin file that you need to your local drive with the seed file. Open the seed file; reference the metric lin from your local drive. In the reference dialog box under file, merge into master. This will make the conversion to English.
The state transportation map is the department's most popular publication. The map features the state's extensive highway system, as well as important safety information. Along with the Division of Travel, Tourism and Film Development, NCDOT prints nearly two million copies each year.
This map identifies all the North Carolina interstate, US and NC routes. It is based off our NC State Travel Map.
This map shows county names and their respective boundaries.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation divides the duties of building and maintaining the infrastructure into 14 divisions across the state.
Each North Carolina Department of Transportation division is also divided into 2 or 3 districts.
This map shows North Carolina Department of Transportation divisions and approximate Latitude and Longitude lines.
Crash Data
For more information about transportation safety performance measures and how NCDOT tracks this information, head over to the Performance Dashboard.
The Transportation Mobility and Safety Division and the NCDOT Executive Committee for Highway Safety have collaborated with the NCDOT - State Road Management Unit - Mapping Section to develop and produce County Crash Distribution Profile Maps for North Carolina. These visual representations of the distribution and frequency of the most current five (5) years of reported 1) Fatal, 2) Fatal + A injury, and 3) Total Crashes provide a user friendly tool for the public, NCDOT’s safety partners and the department’s leadership team.
This collection of high level summary maps effectively displays regions that are experiencing higher frequencies of target type crashes. The three series of maps (All Vehicles, Motorcycle, and Large Truck) provide a simple safety performance overview and support data-driven efforts to identify specific regions, corridors, and specific intersections.
