Yup.  If I understand correctly, they've got one of those federal grants to provide data to the public.  We paid for the service with our tax dollars.  ---------------- From: okgis-bounces at gis.gis.ou.edu [mailto:okgis-bounces at gis.gis.ou.edu] On Behalf Of K C SpainSent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 2:19 PMTo: Oklahoma GIS CommunitySubject: RE: Quad Map and Aerial Photo map service.

RE: [OKGIS] landgrid   If you're using ArcMap, you can add an ArcIMS map service layer from maps.scigis.com to ArcMap and view the quad maps and aerial photos directly without having to download any images from anywhere.  To do this:  * Open ArcMap. * Select Add data. * Browse to GIS Servers. * Select Add ArcIMS Server. * Enter maps.scigis.com and press Enter. * Double click on your new link to maps.scigis.com to view the available layers.  * OK_COLOR_DOQQ  * 2003 NRCS color photography  * OK_DOQQ  * 1995 USGS B/W photography  * OK_DRG  * USGS 1:24K quad maps  * OK_Basemap  * Statewide basemap of oklahoma including aerial pho 
 * Select the layer you want and press Enter. * Enjoy.   ----------------  From: okgis-bounces at gis.gis.ou.edu [mailto:okgis-bounces at gis.gis.ou.edu] On Behalf Of dw.converse at okc.govSent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 1:40 PMTo: okgis at gis.gis.ou.eduSubject: RE: [OKGIS] landgrid Is there are source for USGS Quad maps?  <%20> D.

I knew about it being, I guess I’d call it “face data”, nothing behind it, AT ALL. At this point I’m willing to deal with not having the attributes in the tables if It is somehow possible to make the “sticks” display correctly, that is until I can convince my super that I need better data. Lol. as far as the labels go, that’s a whole other problem. I think this is how I will convince my super that I need better data, huh?    size=2 width="100%" align=center tabIndex=-1> From: okgis-bounces at gis.gis.ou.edu [mailto:okgis-bounces at gis.gis.ou.edu] On Behalf Of Chad CooperSent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 8:59 AMTo: Oklahoma GIS CommunitySubject: RE: [OKGIS] landgrid  Be careful with data exported from Petra.

In ArcMap, I selected to “add data” and added the feature dataset called “Landgrid”. I have checked the projection of all 4 of the feature classes, and they appear to correctly match the projection of the data frame. However, I am unable to display any of them on my map with out selecting “zoom to layer”. What am I doing wrong?  K.C. Spain Tech. Asst. Stephens Production Co. 623 Garrison Ave., P.O.
