We have just added two new layers to the Hydrology folder on IndianaMap showing karst sinkhole information. “Karst Sinkhole Inventory (2011)” and “Karst Sinkhole Density (2011)” were produced by staff of the Indiana Geological Survey for the United States Forest Service. Click the IndianaMap "Apr2013 Karst Map" to launch the IndianaMap viewer with these two new layers checked on in the map.
You may download these data or examine the metadata for each layer using the links below:
The layer showing “Karst Sinkhole Inventory (2011)” shows a sinkhole inventory for southern Indiana and Kentucky. It was created to support statistical regression analysis of potential sinkhole development areas in and around the Hoosier National Forest, United States Forest Service. This layer was used as the basis for the related “Karst Sinkhole Density (2011)” layer.
The layer showing “Karst Sinkhole Density (2011)” shows the density of sinkholes per square kilometer in southern Indiana and Kentucky. It was derived from the “Karst Sinkhole Inventory (2011)” layer using a kernal density function in ArcGIS 10.0. It is in TIFF format, with a spatial resolution of 30 meters.

For the past several years the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) has exhibited topical posters in the State House tunnel display windows. This year the IGS created six posters, five for the Geological Survey showing how it servers the state’s citizens, commerce, environment, and government. Additionally the IGS made one poster for IndianaMap highlighting 10 way GIS is used in Indiana, the 2011-2013 LiDAR and Orthophotography projects, and an overview of IndianaMap.

For this project the State has been divided up into three acquisition areas: center (2011), east (2012), and west (2013).
In 2011 twenty-eight Counties in the center column of Indiana were captured by Indiana's contractor Woolpert. Six of these Counties elected to buy-up to 6-inch imagery. Woolpert also acquired and delivered to the State of Indiana 1.5 meter nominal-post-spacing LiDAR from which they also created a 5-foot pixel bare-earth hydro-flattened Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the same area.
The 2011 data is currently making its way out to all 28 of the 2011 Counties, and is in the process of being published to the IndianaMap and other outlets. Anna Radue at IU Bloomington has already made all the 2011 data available for viewing, downloading, and as web services through the Indiana Spatial Data Portal (gis.iu.edu). For more information (and METADATA) for the 2011 data click here .
IGIC Corporate or Institutional Members who would like copies of multiple counties of the new 2011 data [or the complete 2011 data set] can contact Phil Worrall via email at IGIC pworrall@igic.org. IGIC Corporate or Institutional Members can check out a hard drive containing all the 2011 imagery (2.31 TB total), a hard drive containing all the 2011 elevation data (1.0 TB total), or both drives if they want to make a complete copy of all the data quickly and easily.

The first 1/3 of our 3-year update cycle to create new Orthophotography & LiDAR Data products for the State of Indiana is well under way. Mother Nature provided us with yet another challenging flying season this Spring, but we are happy to report that our vendor Woolpert completed the initial imagery and elevation data capture phase for the center 1/3 column of the State.
Product deliverables will be scheduled to start this summer. Each county will receive a portable disk with the photos. The data will also be posted to the IndianaMap for viewing and ISDP for download.
Product Deliverables Are:
- 4-band orthophotos (GeoTIFF & ECW) for all center column Counties (except Hamilton County scheduled for 2012). Base product is 12-inch pixel, with 6-inch buy-ups for six Counties.
- Base product 1.5-meter post spacing LiDAR Point-Cloud classified data, with 1.0-meter buy-up for One County. (Capture Exception – Hamilton County and counties with existing new LiDAR).
- 5-foot pixel Hydro-enforced DEM (ERDAS Imagine IMG) Tiles.
The cost for the first 3 years of the orthophotography program is about $4.6 million. The primary funder is the Lt. Governor’s Office of Community and Rural Affairs. Other funders include IDHS, INDOT, NGA, NTIA, USGS and NRCS.
All of the initial photo capture is complete (the first flight was March 19, the last was April 19. It was a difficult flying season). A few areas need reflights due to cloud cover or hardware issues. This year, the 6-inch counties are Marion, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko, Bartholomew and Harrison. Note, Hamilton is getting a 6-inch product this year using their own aerial photo vendor; the state will capture new photos in Hamilton next year. Ortho delivery is anticipated to run from July through September.
The LiDAR has been collected (the first flight was March 13, the last was April 19). Boone County opted to buy-up to 1-meter LiDAR. DEMs should be delivered in October. The State is not collecting new LiDAR for communities who already had a project within the last 3 years.
A program website is under construction at: http://www.indianaimagery.com We anticipate that detailed production progress can be viewed online shortly.

"Essential Facilities" is a classification for the following map layers defined by FEMA's Hazards U.S. Multi-Hazards (Hazus-MH) program - Police Stations, Fire Stations, Medical Care Facilities, Schools, and Emergency Management Facilities.
Four of these new layers have been added to the IndianaMap. Fire Stations (MHMP) , Medical Care Facilities (MHMP), Police Stations (MHMP), and Schools (MHMP).
These new statewide layers were provided by The Polis Center and were produced as part of several "DMA2000 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning" (MHMP) projects. Sixty-seven counties participated in the MHMP projects, the goal of which was to improve the data provided by the Hazards U.S. Multi-Hazards (HAZUS-MH) program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Therefore, these data are more complete and more spatially accurate than the data provided with the Hazus-MH software. Attributes include the name, address, and contact information.
The four new layers can be found in the following folder in the IndianaMap list of layers: INFRASTRUCTURE > Other Infrastructure.
You can also download the metadata and shapefile for each of these new layers, as well as click on the links below to view these new layers on the IndianaMap:

Over 2.5 million point addresses covering almost 70 of Indiana's 92 counties have now been published from the IndianaMap on OpenAddresses.org. Similar to OpenStreetMaps.org, OpenAddresses.org is an open source web portal for the management of Open worldwide geolocated postal addresses.
OpenAddresses is currently in BETA and not all of the functionality is currently in place. To date, Indiana is the third U. S. State to have joined this effort, joining North Carolina and Arkansas.

Indianapolis, IN (Friday 5/14/2010). The Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA) acting on behalf of the Indiana Office of Technology (IOT) today released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for new orthophotography for the State of Indiana.
The last statewide orthophotography project for Indiana was flown in 2005/2006. Under this new program, new orthophotography would begin to be flown in the spring of 2011. Funds for the statewide orthophotography program will come from state agencies, local governments, grants and other sources.
The Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) and the Indiana Geographic Information Office (GIO) have worked closely together to develop this RFP and to develop a funding and partnership model to create this program for new orthophotography across Indiana.
A goal is to acquire imagery for at least one-third of the state per year in an ongoing rotation. The first year (2011) will be the middle third of Indiana (though this has yet to be finalized), since this provides the most challenge in terms of delivery in multiple coordinate systems.

Delivery of all new products will be no later than September 30th of the year that the imagery is captured. The final extents and distribution of each resolution for this project will be fixed during contract negotiations.
This new program will include imagery acquisition, and subsequent delivery of digital color orthophotography and selected optional mapping products, at resolutions of 18-inch, 1-foot, 6-inch and 3-inch imagery. Depending on pricing and availability of funds, IOT intends the base product to be 18-inch pixel resolution orthophotography statewide, plus ancillary data products. Local and regional government entities, and other groups will be encouraged to participate in this program and buy-up from the base product resolution as well as purchase ancillary and additional data products. All orthophotography and ancillary data products produced through this contract shall be public domain data without restrictions on distribution or use.
