On Demand, Custom, Topographic Maps with topoBuilder Claire DeVaughan, USGS The U.S. Geological Survey’s National Geospatial Program has released the public application topoBuilder, which enables users to create topographic maps on demand using the best available National Map data. In topoBuilder, users can generate topographic maps, called OnDemand Topo, centered anywhere in the United States or Territories, with customized contour smoothing, and export formats GeoTIFF or GeospatialPDF. Maps are made at 1:24,000-scale for the conterminous United States and Hawaii, 1:20,000-scale for U.S. territories, and 1:25,000 for Alaska. Future releases are planned for additional customizations such as user-selected layers, user-added content, GIS data exports, and other map scales. TopoBuilder, its capabilities, and OnDemand Topo maps will be demonstrated. | Madeline Dillner, Brownfield Program Project Coordinator - Oklahoma Corporation Commission How to zhuzh up your StoryMaps to tell your stories, impress your peers, and connect with your audience. The sky's the limit! | Multivariate Mapping: If One is Good, is Many Better? Michael Larson, Manager Geospatial Systems - OSU Cartography Services This short introduction to Multivariate Mapping examines some of the ways we use and visualize multiple variables of statistical data on a single thematic map. We will jump back (way, way, way back) in time to the ever exciting middle 19th century and explore the development of statistical/thematic mapping and look at the early pioneers in data visualization techniques. We will follow their trail and look at examples of visualizing tabular data, single variable (univariate) data, two variable (bivariate) data, and then focus on multiple variable (multivariate) data with examples including, but not necessarily limited to, weather station models and Chernoff faces. |
Cherokee Nation Rural Water District mapping Janelle Ivey, GIS Data Coordinator - Grand Gateway EDA Grand Gateway is leading a project to map all the rural water districts within the Cherokee Nation Reservation. As per the Wilma Mankiller-Charlie Soap Water Act of 2021, this project will provide potable water to every Tribal cardholder in the Cherokee Nation. | Utility Mapping on a Budget: 10 Years Later Rhonda Baber, GIS Mapping Technician / Utility Mapper - TAHLEQUAH PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY Ten years ago, I started at TPWA creating a new utility atlas from scratch and with few resources. Today, GIS has moved TPWA into the 21st century. Tahlequah city administration and pubic works are a bit different from more traditional municipalities. I will briefly outline the history, process and current mapping for Public Works in Tahlequah and how GIS has been the medium to get us where we are today. | Using Competition to Foster GIS Interest in Schools Kansas Abernathy, GIS Specialist II - Oklahoma Transportation Cabinet In this presentation, I will speak on the ESRI Web map competition which is facilitated by Oklahoma Transportation Cabinet Information Technology. I will review our previous outreach efforts and new avenues which we are exploring as well as why it is beneficial and important to get children interested in GIS at the middle and high school levels. I’ll outline a few ideas for projects to illustrate how this competition can be incorporated into the curriculum for various subject matters. |
Use of GIS in off-range pasture suitability and planning for America's wild horses Rebecca Theodorakos, Planning & Environmental Specialist - US Bureau of Land Management America’s Wild Horses and Burros are a symbol of the spirit of the American West. The US Bureau of Land Management is responsible for the management of these animals on 26.9 acres of federal lands in ten western states. Populations of horses on BLM lands have been steadily increasing, straining water resources and native plants, and outcompeting local fauna. In an attempt to balance the horse population with the natural ecosystem, excess animals are gathered from rangelands to be shipped to various parts of the country and adopted by local horse enthusiasts and trainers. Unadoptable or older animals are sent to private off-range pastures (primarily in Oklahoma and Kansas) to live out the rest of their lives. This presentation will illustrate how GIS is used for the Off-Range Pasture Program, particularly to determine stocking rate, rotational grazing, cultural resource protection, water resources, and various other issues associated with wild horse management on private lands.

Updating for NG911 into legacy Systems | Suitability Mapping as a Tool for Survey Prioritization: Monarch Habitat on Oklahoma's Highways Leah Pearman, Graduate Research Assistant - University of Oklahoma The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus plexippus), one of the most iconic insects in North America, has experienced massive population declines, due to habitat loss, increased exposure to Conservation of Nature listed the monarch as endangered. The Nationwide Candidate Conservation Agreement of Monarch Butterfly on Energy and Transportation Lands (Monarch CCAA), finalized on April 7, 2020, attempts to mitigate the loss of monarch habitat by enrolling lands managed in the energy and transportation infrastructure. Since the I35 corridor roughly traces the monarch migration route, Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) Rights-of- Ways (ROWs) were enrolled into the Monarch CCAA, thereby adopting the goals for an annual increase in acreage. However, this created the need to assess the suitability of ODOT’s extensive land holdings for suitable habitat. The objective of this project was to create a data layer of potentially suitable habitat associated with ODOT lands using the Oklahoma Ecological System Map and the ODOT highways shapefile. A binary raster was built from the ~300 ecological systems of suitable or unsuitable habitat. By rasterizing the polyline file and overlaying the binary suitability raster, suitable monarch habitat on ODOT ROWs were identified. A map was then generated for field verification. The results of this verification showed that when filtering the results of this map to include only suitable areas with ROWs greater than <70ft, all sights surveyed were suitable for enrollment into the Monarch CCAA. Given the number of positive occurrences, this data layer will be useful for OKDOT field personnel for managing habitat and not only for the monarch, but also for other species of concern. |
OCC WELL DATA FINDER: Leveraging ESRI Enterprise For Oil and Gas Data Colin Brooks, Regulatory Manager - Oklahoma Corporation Commission The Oil and Gas Conservation Division (OGCD) at the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) has recently deployed an ESRI Enterprise GIS platform to modernize mapping and spatial data awareness at our Agency. The first project completed in the new platform is OCC’s WELL DATA FINDER application. OCC WELL DATA FINDER was designed and configured with the modular ArcGIS Web AppBuilder interface available in ESRI Enterprise 10.X and 11.0. WELL DATA FINDER replaces the OCC’s legacy GIS data mining website which reached end-of-life in 2022. Contained within the web mapping application are feature layers for much of the public spatial data our Agency and Division curate. Feature Layer data include historical and active well data from our databases, UIC injection/disposal well information and imaging links, geologic and hydrologic data from partner Agencies, and many cultural boundaries for Oklahoma. Much of the data is updated nightly via automatic processes from our production databases. Several pre-configured tools allow well data to be queried and results viewed in the map, distances between points of interest or between well data locations to be measured, and printing user configurable maps of OCC’s Oil and Gas data. Goals of the project were achieved with the creation of a performant web-based mapping application to serve OCC Oil and Gas data to the Public. | Charles Brady III, GIS Coordinator - City of Ardmore We all have probably heard the phrase… “Beyond Here There Be Dragons” Where did it come from and does it even apply now? Throughout the pages of history the cartographer’s maps have not only bore record, but also help shape the future by portraying the past & present. This professional responsibility is said to have carried an ominous warning of danger to the end user. While today’s GIS leverages some of the most technological resources known to mankind, my question is “Have we overcome all the challenges our predecessors faced and slain all their dragons or have our dragons been upgraded as well?” This presentation a unique perspective of some of the common pitfalls mapping professionals still need to be aware of.
