Dataset of Iowa's counties, including boundaries, county seats, major cities, and downloadable map resources. This lightweight version includes a representative sample of five Iowa counties.

Vector polygon map data of property parcels from Polk County, Iowa containing 175,356 features.

Property parcel GIS map data consists of detailed information about individual land parcels, including their boundaries, ownership details, and geographic coordinates.

Property parcel data can be used to analyze and visualize land-related information for purposes such as real estate assessment, urban planning, or environmental management.

Available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

In September 2018, approximately 13 miles of continuous seismic profiling (CSP) surveys were collected on the Des Moines River and Beaver Creek in Des Moines, Iowa. The swept frequency (chirp) CSP subbottom profiler was used to characterize the unconsolidated materials above the bedrock. The CSP subbottom profiler is an acoustic sound source that travels through the water column and reflects off the bottom and sub-bottom layers and is received at the transducer. Applying a water column velocity, the two-way travel time can be converted to distance. CSP methods provide the depth to water bottom, and when sufficient signal penetration is achieved, CSP can be used to delineate the depth of subbottom layers and topography of the bedrock surface. Data were collected concurrently with CRP methods. Both methods used the same .gps files for georeferencing. Starting and ending coordinates for each line are specified in the file "readme_CSP.txt". This data release contains the raw instrume ...

In September 2018, approximately 13 miles of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys were collected on the Des Moines River and Beaver Creek in Des Moines, Iowa. The CRP method was used to characterize the resistivity of the water column and the underlying geologic materials. Three CRP line profiles were collected during one day of field work and were collected concurrently with continuous seismic profiling (CSP) methods. For this investigation, 11 electrodes spaced 10 m apart and mounted in a streamer were towed behind a manned boat and data were collected using the dipole-dipole array type. The first two electrodes, closest to the boat were used to inject current into the water and river bottom, and eight electrical potential measurements were made using the remaining nine electrodes. With this system, a complete suite of measurements is collected every 2.8 seconds. Considering the boats slow rate of speed a complete measurement is taken about every 3-5 meters of bo ...
