County Highway Map Series - Georeferenced Image Files (GeoTIFF and EPPL7 formats)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
This set of GeoTIFF and EPPL7 files represents the Minnesota Department of Transportation's County Highway Map Series in georeferenced image formats. These images of the standard Mn/DOT County Highway Map product can be used in GIS systems and overlayed with other GIS information. The origin of this data is Mn/DOT's Microstation CAD system, where all linework, feature type coding, and symbolization is stored and updated. To produce these data sets, Mn/DOT exported the data from Microstation into postscript files. LMIC then imported the data into GIS systems for georeferencing and further processing. The GeoTIFF data are distributed in both County Highway Map map sheet and full county extents; EPPL7 data sets are distributed only as full county files. Map collars have been removed. This data set represents the Mn/DOT County Highway Map as of January 1, 2002.

Topic Category:  transportation, Basemaps, County Highway Maps, Roads, Rivers, Lakes, Cities, Townships, Public Land Survey, Cultural Features
purpose:
The GeoTIFF version of the County Highway Map Series images were created by LMIC as background imagery for the Environmental Quality Board's High Voltage Transmission Line project. It has since been used as background imagery to support a number of GIS-supported activities, including pipeline mapping and municipal boundary updates. The EPPL7 county files are part of the Minnesota Environmental Atlas Project and the Local Planning Assistance (Hazard Mitigation) project. As a georeferenced background layer these data files can be used in GIS project and overlayed with GIS data.
