Minor transportation contains the non-primary road polygons in Fairfax County. The original data in this layer was captured during the 1997 data conversion effort for Fairfax County. After that an update capture was completed in 2014 using stereo models from the 2009 Virginia State imagery. Subsequent to that an update capture was completed in 2022 using stereo models from the 2017 Virginia State imagery. The most recent planimetric update was completed in 2024 using orthoimagery from the 2023 and 2022 Eagleview Orthophotos.

The data in this layer provides the areal extent of the paved and unpaved driveways, paved and unpaved shared driveways, paved and unpaved parking lots, and paved and unpaved private roads, up to the edge of pavement. Minor transportation features are features that exist outside of the right of way. These features will typically have a match line where they coincide with the major transportation features.
