The Kansas Historic Resources Inventory (KHRI) is a searchable inventory of the state's surveyed historic properties. The initial creation of the online inventory included the scanning and uploading of thousands of paper inventory forms submitted to the Kansas State Historic Preservation Office since the 1960s. These initial records have been edited and supplemented with thousands more digital-born records documenting non-archeological sites and properties across Kansas. This interactive database is intended to serve as an educational and reference tool for preservation professionals and the general public. It is open to the public and actively updated daily. DEMO – Demolished is a building that either was listed, eligible for listing, or determined ineligible that has been demolished.

NOTLISTED – Not Listed is used for buildings determined ineligible for the National Register, or if they had a nomination denied by the National Park Service.

NRC - National Register Contributing is used for historic districts. This is a building that is actively contributing to whatever the historic district is for (black neighborhoods, historic downtown, etc.).

NRNC – National Register Non-Contributing is for districts and is the opposite of the NRC Contributing category. This building, while it may be within the given boundary of the district, is NOT a contributing member of what the historic district is highlighting (like a modern building in a lot among historic downtown buildings).

NRY – National Register is a site that has been successfully added to the National Register.

SRC State Register Contributing and SRNC Non-Contributing operate in a similar way as the National Register version, only just for State Register entries.

SRY – State Register is a site added to the State Register.Acknowledgements – The Kansas Historic Resources Inventory (KHRI) website is updated by members of the public, professional consultants, and staff from the Kansas Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). SHPO staff review submissions routinely, but information on every record has not been completely vetted by an architectural historian or professional historian. Records can be edited at any time. Update frequency - Data within KHRI (the website) is updated daily by staff of the Kansas Historic Preservation Office as well as consultants and members of the public. The website is openly available to public users who may edit records with an active user login. DASC harvests the updated KHRI data and updates this feature service and map on a weekly basis.Agency contact Melinda Dome Archeology Administrative Officer 785-272-8681, ext. 258melinda.dome@ks.gov 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/

This web mapping application displays geology in Shawnee County, Kansas. The geology data is from the NCGMP-09/GeMS program.

The geologic data from this map (along with other counties) can be downloaded from the DASC Hub.

Public Land Survey System - Township Range. Data originally published by the USGS and shared by the Kansas Geological Survey. It has been clipped to isolate the State of Kansas. This data was edited March 2024 to better fit Kansas county data.

The Kansas County Databases of the U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS) provide, for each of the 105 counties in Kansas, high quality digital representations of basic Kansas land divisions first established by the PLSS, primarily between the years of 1854 and 1877. They are derived from data contained in PLSS databases of the USGS 24K Digital Line Graph (DLG) series and data from the Kansas Cartographic Database (KCD) developed by the Kansas Geological Survey. All of the data is derived from USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles. Only minimal edge matching was performed between DLG databases. Features represented in the county databases include the basic point, line and area features established in the original Public Land Surveys of Kansas. Currently lacking from this collection is a complete representation of Indian land boundaries surveyed in Kansas as part of the original PLSS while those Indian lands were still excluded from the public lands. The data from the KCD was captured using in-house KGS software, GIMMAP (Geodata Interactive Management, Mapping and Production). Using Arc Macro Language (AML) files, DLG"s for individual quadrangles covering each county were imported into Arc/Info using the "dlgarc" command. The individual DLG"s were then merged and cleaned to form the county databases. This procedure was only possible after the original USGS DLG"s were reformatted to establish uniform numbers and sequences of attributes for all nodes, areas, and lines in the original USGS DLG"s.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/

First published in 1937 and last revised in 1991, the state geologic map is updated periodically to incorporate new geologic information and up-to-date rock classifications. This new 2008 data revision includes a shift in the boundary between the Pennsylvanian and Permian bedrock, which was recently redefined by the geologic community. The data for the 1991 map was digitized from an original paper copy publication of Map M-1, "Geologic Map of Kansas," (1964), which incorporated a 1:500,000-scale USGS base map. The goal of that project was to capture, in GIS format, the spatial and attribute information portrayed on the 1964 map. This data is from the Kansas Geological Survey - Cartographic Services and its predecessors.

The 30-m USGS National Elevation Dataset grids stored on DASC for W, WC, EC, and E regions of Kansas were downloaded and mosaicked. Using ArcGIS Pro (v2.9), vertical units were converted from meters to feet, and then these new data were converted to 5-ft contours. All polyline features less than 0.001667 degrees in length (approximately 180 meters, or six 30-m pixel lengths) were then deleted to eliminate very small features. According to DASC metadata, the component raster grids were published in 1999, indicating that the entire dataset pre-dates any inclusion of LiDAR.

These results are sufficient for developing inundation maps and/or an emergency action plan. However, due to limitations in the understanding of and ability to model flow dynamics of such severe, abrupt, and debris-laden breach waves, the modeling is approximate. The results must be, in turn, considered approximate. The nature and limitations of these predictions must be kept in mind when using these results. This dataset represents the water surface during a dam breach event.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/

The USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is the nation's inventory of protected areas, including public open space and voluntarily provided, private protected areas, identified as an A-16 National Geospatial Data Asset in the Cadastral Theme (http://www.fgdc.gov/ngda-reports/NGDA_Datasets.html). PAD-US is an ongoing project with several published versions of a spatial database of areas dedicated to the preservation of biological diversity, and other natural, recreational or cultural uses, managed for these purposes through legal or other effective means. The geodatabase maps and describes public open space and other protected areas. Most areas are public lands owned in fee; however, long-term easements, leases, and agreements or administrative designations documented in agency management plans may be included. The PAD-US database strives to be a complete “best available” inventory of protected areas (lands and waters) including data provided by managing agencies and organizations. The dataset is built in collaboration with several partners and data providers (http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/stewards/). See Supplemental Information Section of this metadata record for more information on partnerships and links to major partner organizations. As this dataset is a compilation of many data sets; data completeness, accuracy, and scale may vary. Federal and state data are generally complete, while local government and private protected area coverage is about 50% complete, and depends on data management capacity in the state. For completeness estimates by state: http://www.protectedlands.net/partners. As the federal and state data are reasonably complete; focus is shifting to completing the inventory of local gov and voluntarily provided, private protected areas. The PAD-US geodatabase contains over twenty-five attributes and four feature classes to support data management, queries, web mapping services and analyses: Marine Protected Areas (MPA), Fee, Easements and Combined. The data contained in the MPA Feature class are provided directly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Protected Areas Center (MPA, http://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov ) tracking the National Marine Protected Areas System. The Easements feature class contains data provided directly from the National Conservation Easement Database (NCED, http://conservationeasement.us ) The MPA and Easement feature classes contain some attributes unique to the sole source databases tracking them (e.g. Easement Holder Name from NCED, Protection Level from NOAA MPA Inventory). The "Combined" feature class integrates all fee, easement and MPA features as the best available national inventory of protected areas in the standard PAD-US framework. In addition to geographic boundaries, PAD-US describes the protection mechanism category (e.g. fee, easement, designation, other), owner and managing agency, designation type, unit name, area, public access and state name in a suite of standardized fields. An informative set of references (i.e. Aggregator Source, GIS Source, GIS Source Date) and "local" or source data fields provide a transparent link between standardized PAD-US fields and information from authoritative data sources. The areas in PAD-US are also assigned conservation measures that assess management intent to permanently protect biological diversity: the nationally relevant "GAP Status Code" and global "IUCN Category" standard. A wealth of attributes facilitates a wide variety of data analyses and creates a context for data to be used at local, regional, state, national and international scales. More information about specific updates and changes to this PAD-US version can be found in the Data Quality Information section of this metadata record as well as on the PAD-US website, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/history/.) Due to the completeness and complexity of these data, it is highly recommended to review the Supplemental Information Section of the metadata record as well as the Data Use Constraints, to better understand data partnerships as well as see tips and ideas of appropriate uses of the data and how to parse out the data that you are looking for.

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.In steep terrain, it is possible that the individual contours lines may cross each other. Due to the processing steps of creating individual lines and then merging lines into a single file, overlaps may exist and have not been and will not be fixed.For more detailed information on the Kansas LiDAR project areas: LinkPresentation at the 2023 Kansas Association of Mappers conference: LinkThe 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/
