In the last month another five (5) Counties have signed the Data Sharing Agreement to become partners in the IndianaMap Data Sharing Initiative. This brings us up to 72 of 92 Indiana Counties on board. The latest counties to sign up are: Clinton, Porter, Sullivan, Warren, and Warrick Counties.
Each county has agreed to dynamically share their GIS Parcel Polygons, Point Addresses, Street Centerlines, and Jurisdictional Boundaries with the State and the IndianaMap over the Internet as OGC Web Feature Services (WFS). Our project team is currently working on testing the counties WFS connections and then publishing their data to the IndianaMap. Currently 42 of the 72 counties have provided IDHS with Web Feature Service URLs for testing. Of these, IDHS has initially tested parts of 33 counties and is working on the rest. The map below shows the 33 counties in dark green that are being tested, the 9 counties in olive green are ready for testing, the 30 counties is yellow are working on setting up their services for testing, and the last 20 counties shown in white still need to join the program:

These last 20 Indiana counties include:
Allen, Benton, Blackford, Boone, Carroll, Decatur, Floyd, Fulton, Gibson, Knox, Lake, Lawrence, Marshall, Martin, Montgomery, Newton, Ohio, Randolph, Union, and White.
This is an important program for Indiana, so if you live in one of the counties listed above, please talk to your County Commissioners and discuss with them the importance, value and timeliness of your counties participation. If you need help with this conversation, please email Jim Sparks, Roger Koelpin, or Phil Worrall for support.
To help the County EMA Directors accurately and quickly submit their "2007 LETPP WebGIS" grant requests, Roger Koelpin at the Indiana Department of Homeland Security has provided them with on-line templates in their iGMS system. For more details click here.
As previously indicated, we have published our preliminary harvesting results for parts of 33 counties onto the IndianaMap. The layers named "Address Points (IDHS)" and "Street Centerlines (IDHS)" can be found in the following folder: INFRASTRUCTURE > Roads. The layers named "Land Parcels (IDHS)" and "Government Boundaries (IDHS)" can be found in the following folder: DEMOGRAPHICS > Political & Other Boundaries.
NOTE: These layers are not currently available for download or streaming. As a preliminary data set, these data have not been completely quality control checked for completeness, accuracy or content and are provided for program demonstration purposes only. These partial data are provided "as-is" and are not to be used for any official or business purpose.
Finally, here are some quick-link bookmarks that allow you to quickly view this preliminary data on the IndianaMap:
