Statewide Mapping Highlights Mapping specs

• Statewide: 1”- 400' (1:4800 scale)• ± 4-foot horizontal accuracy• NAD 83, WV State Plane (N-S) Feet

Features• Orthoimagery (natural color aerial photography)• Planimetric road centerlines, hydrology, railroads,

building centroids and footprints• Elevation mass points and breaklines to support

10-foot elevation contours (WVDOH) Federal coops:

• USGS: 1/9 arcsecond NED first complete state in nation• FEMA: FIRM updates• Census Bureau: road centerlines meet MTAIP requirements• USDA/NRCS: soils updates

Private Sector• Licensing of elevation mass points and breaklines

Current activities:

Roads identified and named ESZ's defined TEAM1 phase completed; TEAM2 in process Regional county TEAM2 workshops TN matching and address conflation checking "Addressed" vs. "unaddressed" county differences First pilot areas ready for USPS address

conversion tests Oracle-based Statewide Addressing Maintenance

System (SAMS) "stood up" March 2006 A lot still to be done by December 31 !!

By the end of 2007 WV will have:

ALL rural addresses (RR, HC, Star Route) converted to city-type addresses

County MSAG's for E9-1-1 completed USPS postal address conversion well underway

or completed Statewide Addressing Maintenance System

(SAMS) fully operational Address maintenance occurring at county-level

on continual basis Increased integration of address information

with other county (Assessor) and state offices(WVDMV, etc.)

SAMB Challenges and Opportunities:

Align Census blocks and voting precincts to ridgelines• Breakline or "synthetic" derivation

Strategy for adjusting boundaries(county, municipal, unincorporated areas, etc.)

Transition from paper-based to digital county mapping Synchronization and cross-walking of Census

activities (BAS, LUCA, Enumeration) with the SAMS• Restrictions on MAF exchange?• "One stop" rather than 55 counties?

Funding for Ortho and other mapping updates? Long-term address program management?
