Orthophotography and LiDAR data were acquired for 28 counties in 2011, 6 of which added funds to pay for higher (6-inch resolution) orthophotography. These data will be sent to each county, stored at the state, and also made available to the public via the IndianaMap.
Volunteers from INDOT, IDEM, and DNR are performing the QA/QC of this data prior to acceptance.
Flights have started in the eastern tier of counties to begin the acquisition for this year. The western tier will be acquired in 2013.

12. Improving the NHD (National Hydrography Dataset)
Purpose: To improve the accuracy and level of detail of the data about the surface waters in Indiana
The NHD is a data set that is critical to the study of flooding and water quality.
Streams in blue have been added to the existing NHD (red) through this project

13. Improving the NHD
Funding exists for the 30 sub-basin shown in green (Phase 1)
One of those, the Upper Eel, is serving as the pilot area
Phase 1 is scheduled for completion by December, 2013
This $1.3 million project is supported by the Waters Workgroup, a team composed primarily of volunteers from DNR and IDEM. Mike Martin, DNR, is the workgroup chair.

14. IndianaMap Data Sharing Initiative
Current 87

15. Data Sharing Initiative Status
86 Counties have committed to share GIS data
6,725 Jurisdictional Boundaries
496,440 Street Centerlines Segments
2,389,153 Address Points
2,870,684 Land Parcels
These data support the Who Are Your Elected Officials application, the new statewide dispatch system, day-to-day tasks state agency tasks, and are used by the private sector for everything from real estate sales to lawn care.
These data can be obtained from the GIO library and the IndianaMap

16. Broadband Mapping Wireline Wireless
We are at the half-way point in our 5-year project to determine where broadband service is available in Indiana (and where it isn’t)
