IndianaMap Vision

• Consistent• Accurate• Maintained• Efficient• Local• Regional• Statewide• YOURS!

Because a man with one watch always knows what time it is.

A man with two watches is never sure.

One Map for Indiana

What do these things have in common?

• Property assessment• Emergency response/e911• Economic development• Voter registration• Taxation• Critical infrastructure/utility management• Sex offender registry • Environmental remediation• Groundwater protection• Transportation planning• Recreation management• Illegal drug enforcement• Invasive species control

The IndianaMap

• They all need a common base map: Orthophotography Addresses/geocoding Roads Parcel/property info Boundaries Land elevation/topography

They all need a consistent data infrastructure so data are compatible at all levels of government

What is the IndianaMap?

One Map for Indiana

• Seamless• Accurate• Local• Consistent• Available• Multi-purpose

BUILD ONCE, USE MANY TIMES

It’s a common base map that will unify information throughout the state

IndianaMap Framework Data

Framework data make up the

common “base map”

Framework data are those needed

by the most people,

most often,to support the

most applications

(defined by Indiana Code 4-23-7.3-3)

BASE MAP

Elevation

Boundaries

Water

PLSS

Streets & Addresses

Parcels & Ownership

Orthophotography

Geodetic Control

With a seamless, accurate base mapthe layers will overlay correctly

Without a seamless, accurate base mapthe layers will not overlay correctly

How Is It Used?

• Flood Insurance Rate Map Modernization (IDNR/FEMA/local communities)

• Economic development (IEDC)• Environmental remediation (IDEM,

private business)• Transportation planning (INDOT)• Homeland security / public safety (IDHS,

counties)• Invasive species control (IDNR – Forestry)• And so much more!

IndianaMap is already being used for:

Return on Investment

• Saves local tax payers money $$

• Saves State agencies time and money $$

• Increases value of other local and State data by establishing a consistent framework (standardized data fit together)

Status

• The 2005 Orthophotography and Elevation data were the first completed IndianaMap framework layers

• Planning and activitiy is underway for addresses and waters

• Proposal underway for on-going maintenance $

• Currently, NO FUNDING is in place for future

• Help by contacting your local elected officials and representatives to let them know how you use GIS and that the IndianaMap is important for what you do!
