More Eyes Equals Better Data

The Arkansas Road Centerline File effort is unique because it does not seek to just create the data. The effort includes a continued effort to have road centerlines maintained at the local level. There is also great deal of value that comes from having the data used.

User provided feedback is one benefit of having the data readily available for public and private use. AGIO staff met with a major user of the data set last week. The user commended the state on the development of the file and provided feedback on possible errors that they had identified. This feed back has resulted in an updated  ACF file that is available for download. http://www.geostor.arkansas.gov/G6/Home.html?q=ACF+DL

Thank you to all of those that create, maintain, use and offer specific edits. The Arkansas GIS Community has once again proved itself invaluable.

GeoStor Outage

We are experiencing some issues with our WFS services and map viewer. We were attempting an upgrade of the map viewer last night and everything has gone downhill since. We will try to get everything back online and working as quickly as possible.

Road Centerlines: One Step Closer

The Arkansas Road Centerline file has been updated and now includes Cleveland County. Data sharing in Arkansas is nothing short of awesome. Big THANK YOU to those that continue to contribute to the Arkansas Road Centerline File effort. AGIO staff are working with Newton County and hope to have it posted in the coming months.

The ACF file has exceeded the capability to be downloaded via clip, zip and ship as a shapefile. Other formats work properly.
