About the IndianaMap Project
The IndianaMap is the vision of a single statewide map for Indiana. It includes
everything that goes into making that map a reality - planning,
partnerships, funding, coordination,
and ways to make it available to people who need it.
Vision
The IndianaMap embraces the role of geographic information, technologies and innovative institutional
agreements to enable improved government service to citizens, and an enhanced ability for citizens to stay
informed and to engage in the democratic process.
To achieve this vision, the IndianaMap encompasses:
- Integration now of the best available data, focusing on local, as well as state and federal sources
- A distribution mechanism - data library
- that provides access to data and metadata
- A viewer with online, tiered access for decision-makers and the public with a non-technical
interface to viewing geospatial information
- Planning for 100% coverage of all 7 framework layers, with variable resolution (minimum 1:24:000),
within 3-5 years
- Education and outreach on the relevancy, importance and capabilities offered by the IndianaMap
The IndianaMap will provide mutual benefit to each level of government that in turn share in its development
and maintenance. The IndianaMap will initiate a locally-based, distributed statewide GIS program of mutual
support to county emergency operation centers; facilitate local, state and federal response to human
(terrorism) and natural disasters; and, establish a foundation to support field operations and public
information.
