The
SACOG Mapping Center coordinates Local, State and Federal Geospatial Information
in the six-county SACOG Region. These information layers support the Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) used by all levels of government. Coordinated
base map programs developing among the local governments in El Dorado, Placer,
Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba Counties now manage the parcel and street
layers. SACOG is working with State and Federal agencies to move their planning
overlays to these new base maps.
Regional GIS Clearinghouse
This clearinghouse contains
metadata, file owner-maintainer information, and in some cases ESRI based
shape files for the basic mapping layers in our region. In most cases,
these GIS infrastructure layers have been developed on either the County
parcel base map or SACOG's 2000 Census base map. Users should read each
metadata file to determine the appropriate uses and related layers that
can be used each file.
Reference Maps
One of our main requests in these post-census years is for reference maps showing US
Census Bureau geographies such as tracts and blocks. Other reference maps available are
Regional Analysis Districts-Minor Zone maps for use with Projections, or for Population,
Housing and Employment estimates. Maps are available for our six county region containing
El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba Counties.
