Directions to the Phillbrook Museum of Art

The Philbrook Museum of Art's Mobile GIS is the outgrowth of an initiative to develop a comprehensive Tree Management Plan for the 29 acres of grounds. The Philbrook's Mobile GIS became an integral part of the Tree Management Plan by providing the data store and analytical tool to house a myriad of attribute data regarding each of the 1152 trees comprising 115 different species.  The Mobile GIS has become the tool of choice for managing its tree resources by collecting and displaying data on a wide variety of attribute information associated with each tree.  Tree hazards, pruning needs, tree health, tree lighting, tree photos, vine impacts and maintenance actions along with tree genus/species, diameter, height, and crown spread all provide a snapshot in time regarding the management needs and issues surrounding this valuable resource that dates to approximately 300 years ago.

The City of Tulsa has more than 140 parks spanning a land area of over 200 sq. miles. With each park being unique in terms of amenities and location, a system was needed to allow for basic querying, reporting, and mapping while preserving the quality of the parks infrastructure and assets. Tulsa’s GIS Department utilized ESRI’s Local Government Information Model as a pilot project to measure the potential of transforming existing city paper maps into an information rich application. The implementation and integration of the Local Government Information Model provided Park’s staff with a centralized repository of standardized data and a template for dynamic maps. The beautiful, easy to use maps have allowed the GIS Department to promote a standardized and practical application of GIS to the diverse work groups within the City of Tulsa and has served as a vehicle to improve services provided to the public with easy to use spatially enabled tools.
