The staples
Always visible. Absence is scoped to the inspected publications; “not established” is not absence.
| Layer / official page | Format | Updated | Licence / use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parcels / ownershipBenton_Co_Data contains county parcels and address points. Official landing says service updated weekly. Download ZIP contents/disclaimer destinations were not exposed by readable output. | |||

| Zoning / overlay districtsCounty zoning polygons have ordinance number/approval date/zone fields. Renderer includes PUD, OSD/R-1 and named orderly-annexation areas including St.Cloud-Minden; no claim this replaces St.Cloud city zoning. PUD/OSD and orderly-annexation classifications are integrated in zoning renderer.

Inventory scope
County GIS resources; individual layer extents not checked.
Custom main page readable through WebFetch but direct TLS EOF; unnamed zipped shapefile bundle and its disclaimer destination were not exposed in the readable output. Full file-list completeness remains unresolved.
Official ArcGIS organization cHtpFLI4WlqULV8k is Benton County, Minnesota. Four verified primary reference items (two publicly featured road/Adopt-a-Highway maps plus matched weekly Benton_Co_Data and2023 aerial collection) are not a fabricated Benton hub. Washington Benton hubs rejected.
Public parcel/address service, PLSS, road/Adopt-a-Highway and basemap data verified. Address locations are driveway-road911 signs, NOT rooftops. Basemap has county zoning/FEMA/MCD/roads and includes PUD/OSD/orderly-annexation classes.
2023 spring six-inch EagleView aerial collection is a listed product, not redistribution-cleared imagery. Georeferenced ownership/plat/park PDFs are described; ownership labels only parcels10+GIS acres, annual updates planned.
Missing themes remain uncertain because the unnamed ZIP bundle could not be enumerated. No guessed ZIPs or alternate-state portals.
FindGiS links to official pages. It does not host these local files. Blank update dates mean the source did not establish a dataset update date, not that the data are current.
