*The Location Based Response System (LBRS) is an initiative of the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP). The LBRS establishes partnerships between State and County government for the creation of spatially accurate street centerlines with address ranges and field verified site-specific address locations. Funding to support the development of LBRS compliant systems is available to counties through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that establishes roles and responsibilities for program participation. Participating counties provide project management and QA/QC on road names, addresses, etc to develop data that is compatible with the state's legacy roadway inventory. The Ohio Department of Transportation is the LBRS Program Sponsor, providing technical guidance, support, and QA/QC services. The program is being administered by OGRIP, the state's coordinating body for Geographic Information System (GIS) activities. Through the collaborative efforts of State and Local government the LBRS program is producing highly accurate field verified data that is current, complete, consistent, and accessible. LBRS data is maintained as an Ohio asset by local resources and is provided to the state as part of a coordinated long-term effort by OGRIP to reduce redundant data collection by developing data that meets the needs of several levels of government. The LBRS supports a multi-jurisdictional approach to protecting the health, safety and welfare of the state’s constituents. *http://ogrip.oit.ohio.gov/ProjectsInitiatives/LBRS.aspx

Download .zipMaps and data associated with oil-and-gas wells represent one of the largest datasets at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. This GIS data layer contains all the locatable oil-and-gas wells in Ohio. The feature is derived from coordinates obtained from the Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management (DOGRM) oil and gas well database – Risk Based Data Management System (RBDMS). The RBDMS database has a long history and is a comprehensive collection of well data from historic pre-1980 paper well records (digitized by the Division of Geological Survey (DGS)) to post-1980 DOGRM database solutions.Since 1860, it is estimated that more than 267,000 oil-and-gas wells have been drilled in Ohio. The compressed file also includes a feature used to connect the surface location to the bottom location of a well that has been drilled directionally or horizontally. This feature is NOT the actual wellbore path, it is simply a graphical representation indicating the relationship between the two well points.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Oil & Gas ResourcesOil and Gas Resources Management2045 Morse Road Bldg F-2Columbus, OH, 43229-6693Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov Data Update Frequency: Every Saturday

Download .zipA soil mapping unit designates a specific type of soil which has unique characteristics including texture, slope, and erosion class.

This coverage was converted to digital format from a recompilation of the original soil survey onto a mylar USGS quadrangle base at a scale of 1:24000. The original soil survey was published in July of 1976 by the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service. Recompilation was accomplished by soil scientists from the ODNR, Division of Soil and Water Conservation. The individual quadrangle maps were scanned by a commercial data conversion firm at a density of 500 dots per inch and then converted to ARC Grid format. The GRID files for each quadrangle were then converted to ARC/INFO coverages and edited through various software routines and manual heads-up digitizing. Quadrangle coverages were converted to state plane coordinates, edgematched and then joined into a final county coverage. Because the quadrangle base is in NAD27 all work was done in NAD 27. After the completion of this work this coverage was created in NAD 83 using the ARC/INFO project command.

This coverage replaces the old Lorain County Soil coverage created with the OCAP raster system. Anyone who has a need for this old coverage should email or phone the contact person.

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 Data Update Frequency: As Needed

Download .zipThis theme shows generalized zoning in Lorain County as provided by the Lorain County Regional Planning Commission.

This coverage was digitized from data drafted onto USGS quadrangle maps using a run length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these horizontal lines was one decafoot (10 feet). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county raster based file which was subsequently converted to ARC/INFO format.

The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the data as drafted. Additional details on the digitizing process are available on request.
