Coordination, technical skills transfer, and data sharing are critical to
generating effective outcomes from Utah's investment in GIS. Coordination pays
off by leveraging the efforts, talents, and success within the GIS community.

UGRC encourages GIS professionals and students to periodically contribute news
and updates, to both our blog pages and newsletter. Use the form at the bottom

GIS MAP DATA

Utah's State Geographic Information Database (a.k.a. "the SGID"), was
established by policy makers to ensure that GIS map layers were developed in a
coordinated fashion and shared openly, without redundant effort. Roads,
boundaries, addressing, parcels, aerials, elevation, etc...you’ll find it
available for download and as web services from the SGID.

The vision for the SGID was created almost two full decades before the
government 'open data' and 'transparency' initiatives began hitting their
stride. And, to the credit of the GIS community across the state, the SGID's GIS
data resources are among the most mature and extensive in the nation.

Today, interoperable GIS server technology has diminished the importance of a
completely centralized map data repository. But, it's actually more critical
that the latest and best quality GIS data resources are readily discovered and
accessed. And that's true for resources available to users as downloadable
shapefiles as well as resources available as connections to live streaming data
services. UGRC strives to ensure that the SGID stays current as a state-level
channel to aide in the discovery, access, and use of GIS data resources.

BASE MAPS AND IMAGERY

UGRC hosts aerial photography and pre-rendered base map services on its Discover
cloud-based server. After obtaining an organizational login, GIS users, CAD
users, and web apps can connect to these multi-scale maps using the Open
Geospatial Consortium WMS and WMTS protocols. The Discover service provides
images and tiles in the Web Mercator projection, an industry standard for web
map display.

Layers accessible from the Discover server include themed base maps built from
local & state GIS data in terrain, lite, topo, and hybrid themes. Aerial
photography offerings include the latest 6" statewide imagery licensed for
state, local, & tribal government from Google, as well as public domain color
NAIP, Wasatch Front HRO, CIR/NRG imagery, and the historic B/W DOQ series.

Until January 31, 2017 UGRC provided base maps from its mapserv.utah.gov server
in UTM NAD83 coordinates. These base map services have been retired in favor of
the cloud-hosted OGC services served through Discover.

IMAGERY PLUS OVERLAY BASE MAPS

LITE BASE MAP

UGRC's atlas.utah.gov website allows for a quick preview of the most popular
base map services. Zoom in for richer map content, click the map for key
location-specific info, and use the base map selector in the upper right corner
to select your base map of choice.

Among the locally sourced map layers that UGRC incorporates into its base maps
are: municipal boundaries, building-specific address points, road centerlines
per UDOT specs, and State-stewarded public lands boundaries.

APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

There are many possible approaches to publishing data to web maps and web
services. UGRC assists with a full range of web map solutions, from the simple
to the most complex.

Our dev group specializes in custom applications, designed with agility to meet
defined requirements, that maximize the communication, logical organization, and
usability of information.

SOME OF OUR RECENT, AND OCCASIONALLY AWARD-WINNING, WORK INCLUDES:


WRI (DNR-DWR)

The Watershed Restoration Initiative website uses a shared web map to enable
interagency project and resource coordination.

SGID RASTER SEARCH (UGRC)

Get map-based results for all of the imagery, elevation, lidar, and scanned maps
available from Utah's SGID.

LOCATE.UTAH.GOV (GOED)

Utah's Economic Development Map depicts the landscape of what's important to
businesses considering relocating to Utah.

ENVIRONMENTAL MAP (DEQ)

Search for site-specific information relating to DEQ programs including
regulated environmental sites, facilities, and designations.

SGID PARCEL VIEWER (UGRC)

Zoom in to view parcel boundaries and basic attributes as assembled statewide by
UGRC, in coordination with County Recorders.

APIS AND JAVASCRIPT WIDGETS

APIs available through api.mapserv.utah.gov enable common tasks like address
location (aka geocoding) and map search (point-in-polygon query) to be built
into web applications and data-handling processes without the immediate need for
GIS-specific software. These APIs are at the core of sites like Who Represents
Me?, Who Taxes me? etc.

UGRC's dev group maintains a library of Utah-specific map widgets that provide
common tools desired in web mapping applications. The library includes
FindAddress (geocoding), TRSSearch (finds PLSS sections), and Sherlock (can be
used to search for any feature in the SGID or layers in a map services. We also,
on occasion publish customization for ArcGIS desktop like our geocoding api
tool.

We are into git. By default, the UGRC dev team keeps its code current in UGRC's
GitHub repository. If it's a web site, widget, desktop add-in, or even the
content of this website itself, it should be findable, and open-sourced in the
UGRC repo.
