NebraskaMAP Geospatial Data Portal

Looking for GIS Data in Nebraska? Try the Geospatial Data Portal. The portal searches through metadata records harvested from many state and local government agencies. The portal provides quick access to geospatial resources throughout Nebraska and is independent of data location or type.


Nebraska State Base Map

If you need a nice looking base map for ArcMap or your ArcServer applications you might want to consider using the Nebraska State Base Map. It was built using street centerline data from all 93 counties.

If you would like to view/use the recently released 2009 FSA Aerial Imagery we have created a service at...

http://nebraskamap.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/2009/MapServer

Be warned though that these are county tiles that are Mr. SID files. So they have collars (black areas beyond the county boundary). Since they are Mr. SID files they have to uncompress on the fly, so this will not work quickly. And the projection is in UTM Zone 14 North.

Finally the imagery is in the QA/QC process, so you may find some mistakes with the imagery.

I am working on removing the collars but I have to review my tech notes on how to do that.

If you are looking to match some addresses we have completed creating a geocoding service that you can use from our REST services site.

http://nebraskamap.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/DBO.Nebraska_Address_Locator/GeocodeServer

The Geocode Server will provide addresses for all counties except for Cherry, Keya Paha, Brown, Morrill, Garden, Pierce, and Webster. The missing counties will be added to this service later this spring.

And you must have ArcMap to be able to use this service.
