Products

2004.  1:24,000 Public Land Survey System.  This is a fully-attributed node, arc, polygon coverage for the state of Missouri.  Spanish Land grant numbers were researched at the Missouri Historical Society Archives.  This layer is available at the Missouri Spatial Data Information Service (MSDIS) and is available at:  Metadata, PLSS.

1997-2005.  Various digital soil survey products available at the Missouri Cooperative Soil Survey Website (http://soils.missouri.edu).

2000-2002 Iowa Floodplain Mapping Project.  This project used automated GIS technologies to map approximate 100 year floodplains in Tama, Grundy and Hamilton Counties, Iowa.  Floodplain maps existed for some municipalities in the study area.  These were incorporated into the final product-a geospatial layer.  A set of 7.5' quadrangle maps were created for review.  FEMA (The Federal Emergency Management Agency) is producing Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) from the data layers.

1997-1996 Highway Naming Project. This project included entering new road names into Missouri TIGER Line 1995 files in preparation for attribute conflation to MODOT's 100K DLG files. New Roads were located and entered. State Highway TIGER names were standardized and private roads identified. This project was funded by MO Department of Transportation. Conducted at Geographic Resources Center (MSDIS).

1995-1997 Block Boundary Suggestion Project. Using TIGER Line 1995 files, census enumeration block boundaries were determined and requested for Census 2000. This was Phase I of the Census Data Redistricting Program. In addition, a data layer of November 1994 voting precincts and corresponding voting data was produced. A county map series of November 1994 voting precincts (115) was produced. This Project was funded by the MO Office of Administration. Conducted at Geographic Resources Center (MSDIS).

1994-1995 Missouri School District Map Series. School District Data was created from county taxation records. A school district map(s) was created for each county (145 sheets) and a map of each school district (528) was created. This project was funded by Department of Secondary and Elementary Education to create a data layer for the U S Census Bureau for use in Title I School District funding. Conducted at Geographic Resources Center (MSDIS).
