Planimetric Updates
Thursday, February 07, 2013
AIMS has recently published updated datasets for buildings, edge of pavement and water features for all of Johnson County, based on the 2012 orthophotography. A total of 3,337 new buildings were added, 1,255 were modified and 1,140 were deleted. 0.5 square miles of new pavement edge were added, along with 78 acres of new water features. The photo date has been calculated to 3/4/2012 for new features in the western ¼ of the county, and 3/24/2012 for the eastern ¾ of the county. In addition, some fences, vegetation points, and water structures that no longer existed due to development were removed. Lastly, some 1998 photo dates were corrected to 1999 based upon that year’s flight. Please contact the Mapper of the Day at 913-715-1600 with any questions or concerns.
