MappingCAD to GIS Conversion
BeginningCAD maps, Approximately 30,000 Parcels, 423 Maps including 13 Index Maps and detail maps from 500 scale to 20 scale, spatially
referenced. Originally digitized at +/- 10% accuracy requirements.
Conversion Phase 1
• Direct conversion of CAD maps to GIS
• July 6, 2009, L.R. Kimball sends a person to train mapper.
• 2.5 days of training.
• Additional time booked for questions.
• April 21, 2010, Conversion Completed (about 9.5 months)
Phase 1 Conversion Goals
• No data loss from CAD to GIS, Accomplished
• Similar look to printed maps, Accomplished
• Seamless GIS map, Accomplished
Conversion Notes
• When complete, there were 13 differences between the IAS (Integrated Assessment System) and the GIS database.
• 6 were mapping/survey errors which are fixed
• The rest are parcels that technically should be but are not on IAS. Most were sold to the State in the 1930’s. We are working with the State Auditor to resolve these.
Completed Phase 1

necessary.

Conversion Phase 2
• Delayed due to upcoming ESRI version 10 release which changes the, as yet unpublished, Parcel Model and temporal additions which will be integral portions of phase 2
• Will involve remapping the entire county to survey standards including the roads, rivers and railroads. (We need to be able to answer questions such as: Is that road owned by the state?, Is it an easement?, Is it a right of way?)
• This will be the beginning of the Jefferson County Land Records Information System
• Projected to take 3 to 5 years to complete
Other Changes

• New Website on a Web Server
• All Plats Scanned from the County Clerks Office
• Data book, Commercial Data book and Lookup books are now available in the mapping office
The Future
