Mapping & Surveying
The Engineering Division is responsible for preparing and maintaining many of the official maps for the City. These maps include the City Street Map, the City’s Tax Maps, and the various maps showing the City’s corporate boundary. This office also has a large collection of subdivision plats and construction drawings for various sections of the city. Aerial photographs of the City from various time periods are available for inspection or purchase, and the City has the ability to have topographic mapping prepared for any area covered by these photographs. The Division maintains a network of survey control monuments around the City, and makes this information available to local surveyors and engineers. The Division is also responsible for maintaining legal data on streets, alleys, and public rights of way throughout the City.
Aerial Photographs
The City periodically has aerial photographs taken of the entire area contained within the corporate limits; these photographs are used at the base map for many planning and design efforts, and are also used as a tool to monitor the pace of development within the City. The latest set of photographs were taken in 2006; they are color photographs with a 6” pixel resolution, and have been geo-referenced to the City’s datum. It is also possible to produce topographic mapping at a 2’ contour interval from these photographs.

Purchase The photographs are available for sale in digital or hard copy format. Topographic mapping has also been produced for certain areas in the City and is available for sale as well. Upon request, the City can also produce topographic mapping for areas not previously mapped; pricing depends upon the size of the area to be mapped and the density of features in that area.

Detailed Data
The Engineering Division maintains detailed information on all of the streets, alleys, and public rights of way within the corporate boundary. This information includes curb-to-curb street widths, right of way widths, and other legal information. The division also keeps records of unimproved (“paper”) rights of way throughout the City; these are parcels of land that were set aside for public use, but may or may not have been actually accepted into the City’s system.

Monument Locations
The Engineering Division has established a network of survey control point monuments around the City to aid surveyors and engineers in coordinating their work with the established City horizontal and vertical datums. These monuments have established coordinates on the city grid (NAD 83 / NAVD 88), and are periodically recovered by the City surveyor to ensure that they have not been disturbed.
