Data Creation

Data creation includes workflows which allow extraction in digital form of real world data to be used for analysis and visualizaton?

Important geospatial information is contained in a wide variety of maps available in the form of images and CAD data. The conventional approach is to manually extract data and store it in digital format. We can scan maps, georeference and assign real world coordinates and convert images to valuable geo-spatial information.

Raster Data

A wide variety of data used in GIS are encoded in raster format. Those formats include digital elevation data, satellite images, digital orthophotos, scanned maps, and graphic files.

Raster data falls into four main categories, "Raster as basemaps", "Raster as surface maps", "Raster as thematic maps", and "Raster as attributes of a feature. Measurements values can also be broken into four types; ratio, interval, ordinal, and nominal. The picture to the right is an example of raster interval data. Raster Interval data can include the Fahrenheit temperature scale, and pH values. The values are on a linear scale but is not relative to a zero point. For example 0° does not indicate that no temperature exists and 0 feet does not indicate a lack of elevation because it indicates mean sea level.

Recorded documents are assigned a sequential identifying number (known as the book and page number) and are then scanned into the registry's computer system. The resulting images are available for viewing and printing from public access terminals at the registry and at your home or office over the Internet. In addition, all registries microfilm all recorded documents and most continue to produce record books containing document images on paper. In most cases, original documents are returned to the land owner. To assist customers in finding relevant documents, registries create a searchable index that contains the names of all parties to a document and the property address.

National Geographic

National Geographic is allowing everyone to easily download any USGS 7.5 minute topo map in the continental U.S. as a multi-page PDF that can be printed on letter size paper on any printer. These are the same topographic maps that were published by the U.S. Geological Survey for decades, with nice additional features from their much-loved, but discontinued TOPO! software product, including:

  • Page 1 is an index map showing each of the printable quarter-quad maps in their broader context
  • Pages 2-5 are the topo quarter-quads, sized and scaled to print on US-letter size paper
  • Hillshading has been added to help visualize the topography.

NOTE: Since the USGS stopped updating their printed topos decades ago, some of these maps do not accurately reflect the current landscape. For the most detailed and up-to-date maps of popular outdoors recreation areas, we recommend their Trails Illustrated Maps
