2012 Election Precincts Available on GeoStor

The 2012 County Election Precincts are now available on GeoStor.

http://bit.ly/arkansas_precincts


This data set contains polygons and attributes which represent the election precincts for the counties in the State of Arkansas. It includes the precinct name or number assigned by each County Election Commission following the redistricting process. The data was generated following the release of the
2010 Census data and was finalized in 2012. During the redistricting process a number of administrative boundaries were redrawn. The election precincts include multi-part polygons that are not contiguous in some counties. The compilation of this data is an effort of the Secretary of State to aid in election administration and future redistricting.


A tremendous thanks goes to each of the County Election Commissions, the County Clerks and the Secretary of State Office for creating, gathering and assembling this important collection of data.

AHTD Log Mile Points Now Available on GeoStor

We are very excited to announce the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) has added Log Mile Points for on System and Off System log miles.  These two data sets represent a major undertaking by the Department.  For every road on the State Highway System AHTD calculated the log mile point in 100 foot increments.   They also calculated these points for Off System Roads that are potentially eligible for Federal Aid.

The attributes include information such as Route, Section, Log Mile, traffic count, access, median status, Latitude, Longitude and a number of other metrics.  This layer was originally generated to aide the crash locators with law enforcement and the AHTD. Each crash on the State Highway System has to be reported with the log mile of the crash location. This layer provides an easy method for finding those log miles.

The data can also be accessed via GeoStor feature services under the transportation category.

Once again, AHTD is leading the way in providing an important transportation data set that can be used by Law Enforcement and Public Safety users to locate emergencies.

Thanks AHTD for sharing this important data set to the GIS community at large.
