County Boundary Pilot Project

County boundaries are the extents for which GIS data is maintained in local government. As such, it is important to local GIS managers to have a dataset that represents boundaries as accurately as possible, so that the extents of each subsequent dataset are known.

Jeff Servatius is the TWG representative for county boundaries in Idaho. EIRGIS has taken on a boundary pilot project to assist Jeff in exploring the feasibility of a statewide county boundary dataset that is maintained at the local level. 

Our inent is to generate a dataset in the eastern Idaho region using the best available data, including local surveys, local aerial photography, watersheds, and GCDB. We will submit a report to Jeff Servatius at the end of the project documenting the process, success and weaknesses, and overall feasibility of the project.
