The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The All Roads Shapefile includes all features within the MTDB Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in MTDB that begins with "S". This includes all primary, secondary, local neighborhood, and rural roads, city streets, vehicular trails (4wd), ramps, service drives, alleys, parking lot roads, private roads for service vehicles (logging, oil fields, ranches, etc.), bike paths or trails, bridle/horse paths, walkways/pedestrian trails, and stairways.

This dataset is a single centerline road network representation of 120,000 miles of the Kansas non-state highway system with limited attribution. It includes rural roads and city streets. The roads were digitized using 2002 1-meter DOQQs and KDOT's county map series as references. The non-state system is a portion of KDOT's All Roads Network. The All Roads network, which includes both non-state system and state system single centerline road networks, is mutually exclusive, and can be combined into one layer. Network graphics are not true representations of scaled mileages for road segments which are functionally classified as 'Local.' Otherwise, mileages are adjusted, via an attribute table, to allow for traveled distance which considers changes in elevation.

Summary: This dataset serves as a core reference layer in support of the Unified Government's Enterprise GIS (E-GIS). It is used for visualization, query, analysis, and address matching/geocoding of road network. It is also used by the Unified Government's CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) 9-1-1 system as geographic location aid, and is also shared with Kansas City area's Mid America Regional Council regional E9-1-1 emergency response system.Description: Best cartographic rendering at map scale 1:6000 or smaller. Contains federal, state, county, and city roads, park drives, cemetery drives, plus private roads, ramps, service roads, alleys, and some private drives. Includes street name directional prefix, street name proper, and street type attribution, along with theoretical block address range information. Roads are depicted as a single line in center of pavement (not double-line, edge of pavement).By using this dataset you acknowledge the following:Kansas Open Records Act StatementThe Kansas Open Records Act provides in K.S.A. 45-230 that "no person shall knowingly sell, give or receive, for the purpose of selling or offering for sale, any property or service to persons listed therein, any list of names and addresses contained in, or derived from public records..."

HydroEnforced DEM: Hydro-Enforced DEM (HDEM) countywide mosaic representing the bare earth DEM with hydro-connectors burned into the surface. The Hydro-Connectors determine the lowest ground at each end of the DEM and slopes the elevation across the burn for a more realistic connection on the surface. DEM mosaics were created from LiDAR bare earth tiles from Kansas LiDAR projects ranging from 2015 thru 2018. HydroEnforced Geodatabase Products:Breaklines: A spatial Dataset with line features identifying meaningful breaks in the terrain that are important for 2D hydraulic modeling. Breaks captured include Dam, Levee, Lagoons, and Roads. Levees from the NLD or Dams from the NRCS/KDA databases are included with specific Levee/Dam names attributed for reference as well. Not all AG-Dams have been captured in this process, but rather, those lower in the watershed that are more likely to impact contributing waters for downstream flood modeling.HydroConnectors: A spatial dataset consisting of lines that represent underground water connections such as culverts. Drainage area is computed and based on drainage area values, a score is applied to the hydro-connector buffer. The buffer will define how wide the hydro-connector should be for burning into the DEM. Hydro-Connectors representing valves from the NLD are applied and those generated for Dams focus on using the primary spillway. Underground pipe networks provided by respective cities were used to help define flow path for streamlines in urbanized areas.Road Breakline: A spatial dataset consisting of lines that have been topographically corrected for road networks within each county. These serve as additional hydraulic breaklines where the road centerline has been adjusted to the high ground of the road from the DEM as opposed to simply digitizing the centerline.Contour lines were generated at 2 foot intervals by county using Kansas LiDAR Bare Earth DEMs collected from 2015 through 2018. The source LiDAR Bare Earth DEM tiles are 1 meter resolution USGS QL2 data. A contouring script developed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources was adapted to create Kansas contours at every 2 feet, 10 feet at a time. Contour lines were then simplified using a 2 foot tolerance, and lines less than 100 feet were removed. There is a identifier in the attribute table for 10 foot contour lines. Generalization of the contours lines over water bodies and roads will have a triangular appearance due to their lack of elevation data.The full Kansas geospatial catalog is administered by the Kansas Data Access & Support Center (DASC) and can be found at the following URL: https://hub.kansasgis.org/Counties may have multiple years available. Download file may contain streams, ponds or lakes depending on features for that county.

Geologic mapping, in support of the USGS Omaha-Kansas City Geologic Mapping Project, shows the spatial distribution of artificial-fill, alluvial, eolian, and glacial deposits and bedrock in and near Omaha, Nebraska. Artificial fill deposits are mapped chiefly beneath commercial structures, segments of interstate highways and other major highways, railroad tracks, airport runways, and military facilities, and in landfills and earth fills. Alluvial deposits are mapped beneath flood plains, in stream terraces, and on hill slopes. They include flood-plain and stream-channel alluvium, sheetwash alluvium, and undivided sheetwash alluvium and stream alluvium. Wind-deposited loess forms sheets that mantle inter-stream areas and late Wisconsin terrace alluvium. Peoria Loess is younger of the two loess sheets and covers much of the inter-stream area in the map area. Loveland Loess is older and is exposed in a few small areas in the eastern part of the map area. Glacial deposits are chiefly heterogeneous, ice-deposited, clayey material (till) and minor interstratified stream-deposited sand and gravel. Except for small outcrops, glacial deposits are covered by eolian and alluvial deposits throughout most of the map area. Bedrock is locally exposed in natural exposures along the major streams and in quarries. It consists of Dakota Sandstone and chiefly limestone and shale of the Lansing and Kansas City Groups. Sand and gravel in flood plain and stream-channel alluvium in the Platte River valley are used mainly for concrete aggregate. Limestone of the Lansing and Kansas City Groups is used for road-surfacing material, rip rap, and fill material.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Hazardous Material Routes were developed using the 2004 First Edition TIGER/Line files. The routes are described in the National Hazardous Material Route Registry (NMHRR). The on-line NMHRR linkage is http://hazmat.fmcsa.dot.gov/nhmrr/index.asp With the exception of 13 features that were not identified with the Tiger/Lines, Hazmat routes were created by extracting the TIGER/Line segments that corresponded to each individual route. Hazmat routes in the NTAD, are organized into 3 database files, hazmat.shp, hmroutes.dbf, and hmstcnty.dbf. Each record in each database represents a unique Tiger/Line segment. These Tiger/Line segments are grouped into routes identified as character strings in the ROUTE_ID field in the hmroutes.dbf table. The route name appearing in the ROUTE_ID is assigned by FMCSA and is unique for each State [this sentence could be deleted - it doesn't add a lot to it]. The hmstcnty.dbf table allows the user to select routes by State and County. A single shapefile, called hazmat.shp, represents geometry for all routes in the United States.

Tallgrass Heartland, state boundaries, and county boundary datasets. The Tallgrass Heartland is a region covering the "core" part of the Flint Hills in Kansas where additional wind farm development is discouraged. The region was delineated with lines that follow roads and county boundaries for easy interpretation and utilization as delineated by Governor Brownback’s staff and a team of wildlife/Environmental advisors in Spring 2011.

The traffic counts shown on this layer represent estimates of the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) for the most recent full year. The roads included are under the jurisdiction of county and city government and classified as Arterial or Collector. These AADT's are developed from 24-hour volumes recorded by portable traffic counters. Heavy commercial volumes are estimated from statewide factors, and are not specific to the individual road segments. For an assortment of count maps, please visit Traffic Count Maps.
