Maps and GIS Data
Below is information to access drive and fly times, geography, transportation systems and other geospatial data.
The Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC) was established as Arizona's primary forum and oversight group for geographic information and geographic information technology issues and coordination efforts. AGIC identifies standards, development and implementation strategies to provide a framework in order to optimize the state's investment in geographic data and technology.
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has an interactive map that has information on hydrography, air quality, underground storage tank programs, waste programs and permits.
Arizona Department of Transportation has an extensive collection of maps that include the Arizona highway system, transportation board districts, engineering and maintenance districts, alternative modes of transportation and tourism/commerce.
Arizona State Cartographer's Office provides geospatial Web services, including the Geospatial Debate white paper; the Arizona Geodata Portal, which provides users with links to Internet map services, FGDC compliant metadata, and geospatial data downloads; and Arizona Imagery Server, which allows the viewing of Arizona orthophotography.
The Arizona Geodata Portal hosted and maintained by the state cartographer's office, is designed to provide GIS users with links to Internet map services, FGDC-compliant metadata and geospatial data downloads.
Arizona State Land Department provides both interactive maps and static maps. The interactive map provides spatial data on state land boundaries, grazing allotments and land ownership.
Maricopa Association of Governments offers numerous maps of the Phoenix metro area, Maricopa County and the state of Arizona and interactive maps. Static maps include population projections for the state, socioeconomic modeling, census 2000 data and traffic counts.
Pima Association of Governments has both static and interactive maps. The static maps include watershed planning, building permits and Tucson metro bicycle routes. The interactive maps provide data on air quality, census 2000, orthophotos, transportation analysis zones, traffic counts and traffic demands.
Ramona GIS Inventory is produced by the National States' Geographic Information Council as a tool for states and their partners. Its primary purpose is to track the status of GIS in U.S. state and local government to aid the planning and building of spatial data infrastructures.
