Introduction
It was foreseen in 2004 that the City
of Junction City
would grow faster than normal due the expansion of the Fort Riley
Military Facility. In the past, the City maintained it's geographic
information system in a conventional method. The current GIS Web page
of the City is the preliminary outcome of the farsighted vision the
City Commissioners, Manager, Engineer and the senior staff. To
make this vision a reality, the
City has invested in the procurement of the necessary hardware, software
and in recruiting personnel with the appropriate skills. With the
publication of this web page, the general public will now have access
to the geographic data.
Building of this GIS system is still
in progress. Our strategy has been to give the access to most useful
GIS data as early as possible, while keeping the accuracy of the data
to an acceptable level. Many automated methods were used to capture
land parcel boundaries from available sources. If the source of the
parcel digitized was not from a plat there could be a variation of
dimensions between the deed record and the parcel shown on the map.
The cause for this is the source, which is not a plat or erroneous
plat. The GIS department is in the process of obtaining the original
plats of all the subdivisions to adjust the parcel boundaries to correct
dimensions. Currently the City's GIS Webpage constitutes 9 layers
that are very usefull information for the public.
Continuing GIS work will include,
adjusting the land parcel lines to the platted boundaries, adding
building foot prints, images of the properties, linking past records
of the property development of land parcels, updating CAMA data, updating
water and sewer network, census blocks etc.
