MSDIS General News

MSDIS has published two basemap services based on the latest US Census Bureau TIGER/Line data. The first – MissouriTIGERBasemap – includes twenty-two layers with five label layers. The second – MissouriTIGERBasemap_Basic – includes only the state boundary, county boundaries, place boundaries, and labels for the counties and places. Both of these services are still works in progress but users are welcome to connect to them for basic reference layers.

 

MSDIS Bicentennial Project

To celebrate Missouri’s Bicentennial, Team MSDIS has been working on a small application to highlight all of the important, interesting, scenic, and oddball places around the state. The project is currently under construction and can be found HERE. You’ll notice that Team MSDIS has already seeded the project with a few photos, but the goal is to incorporate photos from the entire MSDIS family. Our friends in Mizzou Geography have begun advertising the project to undergrad and graduate students, but we wanted to use this space to invite our MSDIS users to submit their own photos. If you are interested in adding to the collection, and we hope you are, all you need to do is email your photo to msdismail@missouri.edu with the name of the location and a brief, three(ish) sentence description of why the location is important to you. You can send us as many photos as you’d like, though if we end up going over the 200 photo mark, we will have to make some cuts.
