Polygon vector map data covering city boundaries for Chicago, Illinois, containing 1 feature.

Boundary GIS (Geographic Information System) data is spatial information that delineates the geographic boundaries of specific geographic features..

This data typically includes polygons representing the outlines of these features, along with attributes such as names, codes, and other relevant information.

Boundary GIS data is used for a variety of purposes across multiple industries, including urban planning, environmental management, public health, transportation, and business analysis.

Available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

​

The data contains Multipolygon information for the Boroughs of Chicago used for geospatial analysis. The Coordinate Reference System is EPSG:4326 (WGS84). The file is compressed with xz.

This map is part of a collection of 10 maps showing the location of Presbyterian Churches in relation to ethnic groups in the city of Chicago. The manuscript title is "The effects of subsity of Presbyterian Churches", by Henry Hughes Presler, and can be found at Mansueto Library, University of Chicago under the call number BX 10999. These maps have been outlined and vectorized as the originals, and points placed for location of churches as they were in the original. Call number for the maps: G4104.C6E1 1948.H6. Map Collection, Regenstein Library, University of Chicago. Drawn from Map 7 - Location of Presbyterian churches in relation to ethnic groups in the city of Chicago, by Census Tracts, 1920.

The following dataset includes "Active Benchmarks," which are provided to facilitate the identification of City-managed standard benchmarks. Standard benchmarks are for public and private use in establishing a point in space. Note: The benchmarks are referenced to the Chicago City Datum = 0.00, (CCD = 579.88 feet above mean tide New York). The City of Chicago Department of Water Management’s (DWM) Topographic Benchmark is the source of the benchmark information contained in this online database. The information contained in the index card system was compiled by scanning the original cards, then transcribing some of this information to prepare a table and map. Over time, the DWM will contract services to field verify the data and update the index card system and this online database.This dataset was last updated September 2011. Coordinates are estimated.

Neighborhood boundaries in Chicago, as developed by the Office of Tourism. These boundaries are approximate and names are not official. The data can be viewed on the Chicago Data Portal with a web browser. However, to view or use the files outside of a web browser, you will need to use compression software and special GIS software, such as ESRI ArcGIS (shapefile) or Google Earth (KML or KMZ), is required.

This dataset shows the bike's rack (map) in the City of Chicago. These maps required a special GIS (Geographic Information System) software such as ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) ArcGIS map.

This file corrects several problems in the original TIGER/line files, notably the inclusion of parts of Lake Michigan within the city limits, and the numerous irregularities that are a function of the way the TIGER/line files were created. This file will consequently not line up with TIGER/line streets or tracts; it will line up with the 1992 ward boundary file. Its author is Christopher Siciliano.

The vertical dimensions of urban morphology, specifically the heights of buildings and trees, exert significant influence on wind flow fields in urban street canyons and the thermal properties of urban fabric, subsequently affecting the microclimate, noise levels, and air quality. Despite their importance, these critical attributes are less commonly available and rarely utilized in urban climate models compared to planar land use and land cover data. In our study, we explicitly mapped the height of trees and buildings (HiTAB) across the city of Chicago at 1-meter spatial resolution, using a data fusion approach. This approach integrates high-precision LiDAR cloud point data, building footprint inventory, and multi-band satellite images. Specifically, the digital terrain and surface models were first created from the LiDAR dataset to calculate the height of surface objects, while the rest of the datasets were used to delineate trees and buildings. We validated the derived height information against the existing building database in downtown Chicago and the Meter-scale Urban Land Cover map from the Environmental Protection Agency, respectively. Given their high spatial resolution, the height maps will enhance the parameterization process in physical-based models ranging from the simplest slab urban canopy model to the much-sophisticated computational fluid dynamics model. In addition, the datasets can also inform data-driven urban models to achieve higher resolution and lower uncertainties. Moreover, our method can be extended to other urban regions, benefiting from the growing availability of high-resolution urban informatics globally. Ultimately, these datasets can substantially contribute to future studies on hyper-local weather dynamics, urban heterogeneity, morphology, and planning, providing a more comprehensive understanding of urban environments.
