Download .zipThe C, D Law Coal Permit Maps county coverage sets were developed using the original mine maps for over 2500 coal mining and reclamation permits issued under Ohio law and finalized (i.e. operations completed) between 1975 and December 2002.

Ohio started issuing coal mining licenses in the 1940s. The earliest license and permit requirements were minimal and did not include submittal of a map or other delineation of the mined area. Significant changes to legal requirements are reflected by the alphabetical designation of each subsequent law revision, i.e., earlier A-law permits (circa 1966) through contemporary D-law permits. The ODNR-Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM) has attempted to create as complete a database as possible from available archive records, however, research has identified missing permit files. Thus, this GIS data is known to be incomplete due to the loss of archival records.

The C and D law permit maps were scanned at a density of 200 dots per inch (dpi). The scanned image was then heads-up digitized using Microstation computer aided design software (CAD) to create design files grouped by county location. Data captured within the design file includes permit boundary, affected boundary, test hole locations, and associated attributes. The design file was then "placed-to-ground" using ODNR Division of Geological Survey's "ODNR Land Sub-division Background Design Files" NAD83 State Plane coverages and DOQQ aerial images obtained through the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP)/Ohio Department of Administrative Services. The design file was then converted to ARC/INFO coverage and projected to State Plane Ohio Coordinates, NAD83:

Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Ohio_South_FIPS_3402_Feet

Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983

A complete county coverage set consists of five data files for the permit area, affected area, and test hole locations. For example, the coverage for Athens County includes:

athens_c_permitted (Athens County, C-permit area polygons) athens_c_affected (Athens County, C-permit affected area polygons) athens_d_permitted (Athens County, D- permit area polygons) athens_d_affected (Athens County, D-permit affected area polygons) athens_testholes (Athens County, Test Hole points)

In addition to the ArcView shape files in the county data sets, the scanned TIF images for source documents are available at DMRM. The scanned mine map depicts information about the operations conducted, environmental resources, and extracted coal resources. If more detailed information is desired, the available archival record for each captured permit can be accessed at either the State Archives at the Ohio Historical Society or the ODNR-DMRM central office.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Mineral Resources ManagementAbandoned Mine Land Program2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

Download .zipThe B Law Coal Permit Maps county coverage sets were developed using the original mine maps for coal mining and reclamation permits issued under Ohio law from 1973 through 1976. Approximately 1285 B-Permits were issued during this time period, however, only approximately 414 records could be located and captured at this time. The Division of Mineral Resources Management will continue to search for missing B permit archival records as resources allow; additional B permit data may be added to this existing coverage in the future.

A complete county coverage set consists of three data files for the permit area, affected area, and test hole locations. For example, the coverage for Belmont County includes:

belmont_b_permitted (Belmont County, B-permit area polygons) belmont_b _affected (Belmont County, B-permit affected area polygons) belmont_testholes_b (Belmont County, Test Hole points)

Basemap datasets comprise six of the seven FGDC themes of geospatial data that are used by most GIS applications (Note: the seventh framework theme, orthographic imagery, is packaged in a separate NFIP Metadata Profile): cadastral, geodetic control, governmental unit, transportation, general structures, hydrography (water areas and lines). These data include an encoding of the geographic extent of the features and a minimal number of attributes needed to identify and describe the features. (Source: Circular A-16, p. 13)

This coverage was digitized from paper maps at a scale of 1:24000. Digitizing utilized run-length encoding techniques, sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these lines was one decafoot (10 feet) Additional details of the digitizing process are available upon request.

The coverage was subsequently converted to Arc/Info vector format.

Original coverage data was converted from the .e00 file to a more standard ESRI shapefile(s) in November 2014.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesReal Estate & Land ManagementReal Estate and Lands Management2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

Download .zipA potentiometric surface map is a contour map that represents the top of the ground water surface in an aquifer. The contour lines illustrate the potentiometric surface much like the contour lines of a topographic map represent a visual model of the ground surface. A potentiometric surface map is very similar to a water table map in that both show the horizontal direction and gradient of ground water flow.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Geological Survey2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6693Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

Download .zipThese data were derived from multiple sources, one of which was the USGS DLG data which was captured at 1:24,000-scale. The accuracy for DLG data is ± 40 feet. Although the USGS does not claim legal responsibility for the accuracy of these data.These files were obtained from the GIS Support Center, Ohio Department of Administrative Services and were originally prepared by the Ohio State University Center for Mapping in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey with additional funding from several state agencies and other groups. These files were augmented in a few instances with hand digitizing where small missing line segments were found. Originally the Lake Erie shoreline and islands in Lake Erie were added from the Hydrography layer (hy). At the time, the quadrangles used varied over a wide rangle of years this line does not represent a particular water level and is for illustrative purposes only. For example there is a wide offset between the shoreline on the Metzger Marsh Quadrangle and that of the Oak Harbor Quadrangle. This distance is so large that no attempt was made to edgematch the two quadrangles. The line connecting the two shorelines represents the quadrangle boundary. For the purposes of this map Sandusky Bay and Muddy Creek Bay were included as a part of Lake Erie. The Lake Erie shoreline is not meant to represent any Lake Erie shoreline which may be used for regulatory puposes. This has since been modified to be more accurate and inline with the NOAA project that mapped the bathymetry of the Great Lakes. The boundaries were modified to better match these data. An updated boundary for Fairfield-Licking-Perry Counties within Buckeye Lake was included by digitizing the boundary from a more recently updated quadrangle map.

Conversion from the dlg format to ArcInfo was accomplished using ArcInfo software in conjuction with an AML program to adjust the quadrangles so that their corners fall on the exact coordinates of the quadrangle corners. Due to the way in wihich coordinates are stored in the dlg's there is some variation in the quadrangle corner coordinates.

Since 200; additional edits to these data were made in 2002 by ODNR staff through the creation of the Public Lands Survey digitization project.

Further edits were made in 2012 in conjunction with a BLM project to establish cadastral standards.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesOffice of Information TechnologyGIS Records2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

In 2012, the City of Columbus and Franklin County, OH obtained 1-foot contours covering an approximate area of 600 square miles, which contained all of Franklin County and small portions of Delaware, Licking and Fairfield Counties. The contours were produced from aerial LiDAR data (acquired in 2011) and 3D compiled breaklines produced from aerial 3-inch imagery (acquired in 2011). 3D stereo compiled breaklines were only placed where the LiDAR was not sufficiently depicting the ground surface (i.e. edge of river banks, etc.). The resultant DTM (digital terrain model) was then used to produce 1-foot project wide contours with a vertical accuracy of +/- 9-inches. The 1-foot contours were produced in ESRI Shapefile and AutoCAD DWG formats, with the ESRI Shapefiles being produced in block/regional coverages and with the AutoCAD files being produced in tiled format (mirroring the same size and naming convention as the 3-inch ortho-imagery produced in 2011).
