CURRENT PROJECTS

Complete conversion and updating of Township maps to digital Autocad format

  • All seventeen villages and cities and all 22 townships within the county are in digital format residing on the county datum and are available for viewing on the Mapping Home page.

Training and Upgrading

  • The mapping department had upgraded our GIS software to Autodesk's Map Guide version 6.5. This combined with Rapid Integration Toolkit will allow us to display our property maps with orthophotography and other coverages along with the tax parcel data. We hope to have this GIS up and running within the next six months.
  • Provide training and support for all departments who develop land records GIS project.

COMPLETED PROJECTS

Digital Orthophotography

  • Obtained county-wide 1" = 2,640.00' scale aerial photography.
  • Sauk County has 24 HARN (High Accuracy Reference Network) Stations which were included along with other needed ground control.  HARN information is available on the: Sauk County Surveyor page.
  • All ground control was targeted before the flight.
  • Prepared an analytical aerotriangulation solution for the block of photography.
