GIS Mapping and Data Services
Buckeye Hills has been utilizing computerized GIS mapping technologies since the early 1990s. Buckeye Hills uses this technology to supplement funding packages, to track and maintain local statistical information, and to help gather and disseminate pertinent spatial data to interested parties throughout the district. While most of the services are for our member local governments and related parties, we can occasionally do other projects as time and resources permit. Some of these services include:
- customized Census maps
- digital photography
- technical assistance with projections, datum and file conversions
- GIS analysis-overlays, viewsheds, slopes, etc.;
- CD and DVD Recording of digital data and Census data;
- sub-foot GPS capability;
- technical assistance, training, demonstrations, or troubleshooting;
- small or large full color maps for reports or plans; and
- other custom maps.
GPS Data Collection Services
The staff at Buckeye Hills has been collecting unique spatial data using a GPS data collection unit since 2003. Buckeye Hills is currently utilizing two Trimble Geo XT/XH (submeter and subfoot) GPS data collection units. The resulting data is used to compliment Buckeye Hills' GIS activities with high accuracy local data. Some examples of projects completed using these GPS technologies include:
- storm sewer inventories
- small municipal public water systems (hydrants, valves, meters, etc.)
- vegetation inventories
- signage inventories
- floodwater benchmarking
- crash locations
- utility location and inventories
