GIS Mapping Sites

GIS for the Internet

ArcIMS provides the foundation for distributing high-end geographic information systems (GIS) and mapping services via the Internet. ArcIMS software enables users to integrate local data sources with Internet data sources for display, query, and analysis in an easy-to-use Web browser.

ArcIMS revolutionizes the way users can access and interact with Internet mapping and GIS data.

Vanderburgh County Assessors Office

Here is the Vanderburgh County Assessors Parcel Site. Here you can view details about properties. There is a lot of functionality built into this site and the data is searchable in many different ways. Be sure to explore the many tools on the toolbar under the map. In addition to Property Information, there are also Subdivision Boundaries, and Proposed Land Valuations. Zoom in, turn on the aerial photo and see the surrounding area!


Evansville Police Department

On this site you can view weekly and monthly crime stats, police beats, reporting areas, subdivisions/apartments, neighborhood associations and other useful layers. The aerial photography becomes active the closer you zoom in. The crime data can be queried based on which crime layer is active. There is also a site tutorial created to assist the user in maximizing the type of information they can view. the aerial photo and see the surrounding area!


Evansville / Vanderburgh
Building Commission

On this site you can find contours and flood zones. Please note the new proposed FEMA Flood maps are not enforced until 2003. The Building footprints (color outlines) are from1990 so when you zoom in close enough to activate the 2000 aerial photo you can see what has been constructed (no color outlines) in the last 10 years! The upper left button (legend) on the tool bar will display the meanings of the color lines.


Vanderburgh County Surveyor

Here you can view details about section corners, elevation benchmarks, the Indiana/Kentucky State line, Burdette Park property pins, and other useful land surveying information. The data can be queried based on which layer is active. As you zoom in, the aerial photos come into view. Please understand that this page is under construction. It may change as additional data and layers are incorporated. The point data will grow as survey crews gather more GPS points.
 


Evansville/Vanderburgh
Area Plan Commission

On this site you can view the different zoning classes, special uses, with conditions, preservation areas and other useful planner related layers. Users can query information based on Owners Last Name, Property Address, Docket Number, Parcel Number, and Subdivision Name. If the user is not sure of particular information to query, they can enter a “%” sign which acts as a wildcard.

This site contains details about trees in the City of Evansville. In 2002 the City of Evansville began a tree inventory, which consists of inventorying all public trees and street trees in the City. This site will show locations of trees, tree canopy cover, State champion trees, forested areas, and other significant trees. To view canopy tree cover or aerial maps please zoom into an area of interest. The inventory data will grow as inventory crews gather data through 2005.

ArcIMS Technology

Implementing ArcIMS technology allowed us to give internal users the ability of viewing the various types of data they need to collect in their daily jobs.  With the information at their fingertips, there is no more travel time to other offices, standing in line or copying cost.  Users are more efficient and best of all, there is not a cost for this service.

Public Access

While implementing the ArcIMS technology for internal users it was apparent that the public could also benefit.  We post public information on our web servers that also saves any person or business the cost and travel associated with going to the specific offices for information.  We have had very positive feedback from the public for making these services available.

Behind the scenes

We host and manage our own web servers.  Doing so allows us to maximize our investment into GIS.  We are able to custom code the many different sites we have to make them interact with the public in different ways.  One site may interact with a database miles away and others very simple.  By us controlling it all, we are able to provide functionality and a level of support unprecedented in our area.
