Just remember Click Before You Dig, It's The Law! | USGS 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP): A New Model for the Nation’s Hydrography Claire DeVaughan U.S. Geological Survey The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Geospatial Program (NGP) provides foundational digital geospatial data representing the topography, natural landscape, and manmade environment of the U.S. and is in the process of establishing the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) to modernize the mapping of the Nation’s inland waters. High-resolution lidar elevation data have been collected across much of the conterminous US through the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). This data will be used as the source to derive a positionally accurate and detailed stream network. 3DHP is the first systematic remapping of the Nation’s hydrography since the original topographic mapping program that was active between 1947 and 1992. By using modern acquisition, validation, and data management techniques, 3DHP will enable analysis and visualization for a broad range of applications. This presentation will provide information on 3DHP, and on partnerships and data acquisition needed to support 3DHP. |
An Innovative Approach for Invasive Species Targeting and Control Using Remotely Sensed Data and Techniques Within the Chickasaw Nation Treaty Territory Marco Micozzi & Justin Baker The Chickasaw Nation & Aqua Strategies Eastern redcedar (ERC), Juniperus virginiana, is increasing in density and range, negatively affecting both agricultural productivity and water recharge of aquifers and surface water bodies. Prescribed fire has proven to be a very effective tool in slowing this growth, but this method is less effective on very sparse or very dense, well-established stands. This project uses an innovative approach to optimize efforts to identify and clear ERC within the Chickasaw Nation (CN) treaty territory and will create a system by which land parcels can be efficiently prioritized for cedar clearing. By applying this methodology, the CN will be able to restore productivity of agricultural ranchland more quickly and economically, while also improving water quality, availability and aquifer recharge conditions. The long-term goal of this project is to provide positive impacts to landowners and water systems and potentially provide a tool that can be applied in other parts of the country. | Pavement Management for Cities & Counties Veronica Schindler & Roy Neberek CItyworks a Trimble Company Cities and counties all have to deal with pavement management issues and identifying the optimal mix of projects to meet their agency's performance goals and maximize ROI with a limited amount of budget.

This presentation will demonstrate how the Utilities Department uses Field Maps and other web-based mapping applications to track lead lines throughout the pilot program. |
Methods on Creating a Tactile Map for the Lawton Public Library Kristi Shannon City of Lawton GIS Division "All maps lie flat, and all flat maps lie," but some lay a little less flat than others. Tactile maps are maps that can be read by touch, usually for those who are blind or seeing impaired. While these maps take on many formats to provide users with information about their surroundings, they usually have one element in common: raised vectors. Tactile maps improve situational awareness for those who are blind or visually impaired by using braille and 3D points, lines, and polygons. Since these maps are intended to be read by touch, the level of detail is less complex. Generalization of symbology, detail, and scale are three of the more challenging components to tactile cartography. Although not a novel idea, tactile maps are not common in municipalities in SW Oklahoma. The intent of this presentation is to show how a tactile map was created for the Lawton Public Library and to provide insight on the capability of any organization to provide tactile maps for their community. | Think Beyond Work Management to Asset Lifecycle Management Brent Wilson Woolpert Explore Asset Lifecycle Management using Trimble Owner and Public Sector (O&PS) solutions.

OK-EFRA: An ArcGIS® Web Application to Visualize EHS Flow and Incident Risk on Oklahoma Roadways Manjunath Kamath, Dr. Diana Rodriguez Coca, Dr. R. Scott Frazier, Timman Nyamagoudar, & Felipe Carreno Urquijo Oklahoma State University This presentation includes a demo of the OK-EFRA application, an overview of the ongoing research project that supports its development and deployment, and some representative use cases to illustrate the application of this tool in practice. OK-EFRA’s purpose is to inform LEPCs, first responders, and other local bodies in Oklahoma counties as to what dangerous materials may be transported on county roads and highways with an assessment of incident risk to serve as input to their emergency preparedness planning activities. The source data was collected by the OSU research team through an online survey of facilities in the state that store extremely hazardous substance (EHS) on site and send and/or receive such EHS materials on a regular basis. The OSU research team developed mathematical models to estimate the EHS flow, EHS incident risk, and risks related to health, fire, and instability/reactivity for Oklahoma roadways. | Small Town GIS Robyn Murray How to build layer that shows zoning by parcel using disparate data layers.
