Version 1 of general quadrant boundaries used for data analysis, survey result survey analysis for the City of Lawrence, Kansas.Updated as needed.

The parcels layer displays property boundaries and contains ownership information. Parcels data is updated weekly and is maintained by the Douglas County, KS Information Technology Department GIS Division. Parcel boundaries are a representation of ownership and are not suitable for marking property boundaries.

This layer includes data on stormwater pipes, catch basins, culverts, and other drainage structures, excluding assets for the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University. It provides essential details such as material, diameter, and condition, enabling municipalities to monitor the integrity of the stormwater network. Data is updated continuously.Stormwater Pipes: This segment of the infrastructure layer provides data on the extensive network of pipes that transport stormwater runoff. Information such as pipe diameter, material composition, installation date, and maintenance history is recorded. GIS mapping allows authorities to visualize the spatial distribution of pipes, facilitating effective monitoring and maintenance planning.Catch Basins: Catch basins, also known as storm drains, are vital components of the stormwater system. GIS technology precisely maps the location of catch basins and includes attributes such as size, condition, and connectivity to the pipe network. This data aids in identifying critical points in the system where debris often accumulates, potentially causing blockages and localized flooding.Culverts: Culverts are structures that allow water to flow under roads, railways, or embankments. GIS mapping of culverts includes parameters like dimensions, material type, and flow capacity. This information helps in assessing the structural integrity of culverts and ensures that they can handle stormwater flow during heavy rain events.Retention/Detention Basins: GIS technology identifies the locations of retention and detention basins, which are designed to temporarily hold stormwater and release it slowly. Attributes such as size, depth, and drainage area are recorded. This data is essential for managing the storage and controlled release of stormwater, preventing downstream flooding and erosion.
