Twenty-one layers provided by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, Office
of Land Quality, have been updated. These layers can be found in the following folder: ENVIRONMENT/BIOLOGY > Environment. If you are a user of
these data, you may wish to re-download them.
Several incorrect values in the field named "Parcel_ID" in the layer
named "Landsurvey - Sections" have
been corrected. This layer can be found in the following folder: REFERENCE > PLSS & Quad Boundaries. If you are a user of these data, you
may wish to re-download the layer.
The seven Web Map Services (WMS) providing framework data for GIS professionals have
been updated. Please review the Web page titled

The IndianaMap Atlas and its associated Web pages are being redesigned to provide an appearance that is consistent with
Web pages of IndianaMap.org, hosted by the Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC).
The four layers that provide county-based framework data (including address points, street centerlines, land parcels, and governmental boundaries) have been updated.
The layers were compiled from data maintained by various county agencies in Indiana, as part of the
IndianaMap Data Sharing Initiative between
Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC), Indiana Office of Technology (IOT), Indiana Geographic Information Office (GIO), Indiana Department of Homeland
Security (IDHS), Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) and participating Indiana counties. The layers named
"Address Points (IDHS)" and
"Street Centerlines (IDHS)"
can be found in the following folder: INFRASTRUCTURE > Roads. The layers named
"Land Parcels (IDHS)" and
"Government Boundaries (IDHS)" can be found
in the following folder: DEMOGRAPHICS > Political & Other Boundaries. These layers are not currently available for download.
NOTE: These new layers represent the second set of data harvested through the ongoing Data Sharing Initiative program by IDHS from local government
sources in Speptember 2009. As a preliminary data set, these data have not been completely quality control checked for completeness, accuracy or content and are
provided for program demonstration purposes only. These partial data are provided "as-is" and are not to be used for any official or business purpose. Be
sure to read the metadata for each layer.
NOTE -- SCALE DEPENDENT VIEWING: These datasets are not viewable at the full statewide extent. The intended scale of viewing for these data is approximately at the level
of county, and trying to view these high-resolution layers at full statewide extent would greatly affect the performance of the map. The layers "Address Points (IDHS)" and
"Street Centerlines (IDHS)" are only viewable on the map at a scale of 1:200,000 or smaller. The layer named "Address Points (IDHS)" is only viewable on the map at a
scale of 1:100,000 or smaller. Users can determine which Indiana counties have contributed data by accessing the metadata documents for each layer.
