ArcGIS Pro: Creating Map Books Using Map Series
2023-01-10 13:30 - 17:00
Although we live in a digital age, sometimes will still need to print hard copy maps. For maps that we take into the field, smaller is often easier to handle. However, the smaller the map, the harder it is to see the detail that we may require. This is where map books come in handy. Map books allow us to print maps covering larger areas at our desired scale by breaking the area into individual sheets, which form the pages of a book. In ArcGIS Pro, this functionality is called a Map Series.

Boundary Technical Working Group
2022-12-06 13:00 - 14:00
To continue towards the goal of creating more Idaho framework data layers, the State ITS office has been reviewing county boundary and ZIP code area GIS data from counties across the State. During this meeting we will discuss the findings and strategize how best to remedy discrepancies, such as gaps and overlaps between neighboring counties, and recommendations for on-going maintenance.

Boundary TWG
2022-10-11 13:00 - 14:00
Please join us for the Boundary TWG on Tuesday October 11 (notice that this is one week later than originally scheduled – we did not want it to overlap with the GIS conference in Boise). Our office is currently focused on Next Generation 9-1-1 and so we are re-visiting the Counties dataset and start work on the Zip Codes.

Previously we determined that the Census data will be the authoritative source for County boundaries in Idaho. While ultimately this will be the case, we need to talk about the best available data for each county right now, and work with Census to get the best available information into the Census dataset.
Zip codes are a difficult layer even though a number of different datasets exist depicting zip codes. Has your county worked on zip codes with your post masters? Are you willing to share your zip code layer, experience and help other counties obtain the most correct zip codes?

Please join us to work towards improving county boundaries and the zip code layer for Idaho.
