The realigned State of Tennessee Senate and House districts maps have been updated on KNOXnetWhere, KGIS's interactive mapping site. The boundaries were realigned based upon the 2010 Census data, and are administered on the KGIS by the Knoxville MPC.

To view the boundaries, just click on the "Select a Map Theme" drop down box in the upper right corner of the KNOXnetWhere application; then select either the State Senate or State House options from the Political Districts Theme.

 

Users of the KGIS Lite and MPC Cases applications will see a new format in the KGIS Owner Card report beginning Friday, Jan. 13th, 2012 to accommodate the newly implemented workflows of the Knox County Property Assessor's Office.

However, the Owner Card in the KNOXnetWhere app, and in the Online Reports section of www.kgis.org will retain its old format until these applications are upgraded sometime later in 2012.

Click here for more details. 

KGIS users should be aware that the Deed Recorded Date will not be available to KGIS applications (such as the Property Map & Details Report, and the Property Details sections of the Interactive mapping web sites KnoxNetWhere and KGIS Lite).  Hopefully this is temporary until such time that the new Appraisal system can make this information available again to KGIS users. (However, the Deed "Sale Date" is still accessible via the KGIS Owner Card. )

 

County Commission and School Board district boundaries have been adjusted on the KGIS websites to reflect the 2011 approved re-districting, which called for the boundaries of both school board and commission to be coincident with one another. To display the new boundaries, visit KnoxNetWhere or view them within MPC's Case Mapping site. For more information on the Knox County Redistricting process, go here.

The Metropolitan Planning Commission and KGIS have collaborated on the launch of a new "beta" online application which provides access to boundaries and details for about 17,000 MPC cases dating back to the early 1980’s through a mapping interface. Try the MPC Case Mapping Viewer here:  http://www.kgis.org/mpccases.

This version of the application is considered a beta or a preliminary release. At this point, all major functionality that will be included in the application is present, but users may experience some issues related to stability and performance. Internet Explorer 7.0 is the only fully supported browser, although older versions may work with limited or inconsistant functionality. For more information go to:
http://www.knoxmpc.org/gis/case_mapping/ 

A new, "beta" version interactive mapping site, called KGIS Lite,  has been added to KGIS.org.  It is a streamlined version of the KNOXnetWhere site, and is built upon the latest generation technology to provide a more seamless and faster experience, along with access to the most current data. It has been designed primarily for Internet Explorer 7, so other browsers may experience some problems, or speed issues. Click here for an introduction to the new site, and feel free to email us on what you think. 

KGIS has now made City Ward and City Block numbers available to the general public on its public website, www.kgis.org. This new information is now included under "Parcel Information" on the right side of the screen. It can be accessed by activating the "IDENTIFY" icon and then clicking inside the subject parcel boundary. This new ability should be helpful to many users, especially surveyors and engineers.  

KGIS has added its newly acquired, 1-ft.-resolution aerial ortho-photography to KNOXnetWhere?.  The 1ft resolution image is derived from 6" resolution data. The photography was flown back in March 2008 as part of KGIS's landbase update project with Sanborn & Co. KGIS is scheduled to receive updates to its other landbase data (incl. building footprints, edges of pavement, hydrography, topography, etc.) in 2009.

KGIS's three-year-long M2E GIS Upgrade Project (with CH2M Hill) officially ended at a ceremony today in the Small Assembly Room of the City County Building. As part of the project, more than a half-terrabyte's amount of data (comprised of >195 unique feature categories) and 20 distinct GIS applications were transitioned to ESRI's most recent and  industry-standard software platform. During the ceremony, KGIS also recognized 26 different City, County and MPC employees who contributed mightily to the project in their roles as data contributors. And on a final note, the project was also under budget!

 

Directions Magazine, one of the premier sources of information for geospatial industry professionals, has recently posted a feature article about KGIS, and its most recent efforts at modernizing its GIS operations. Check it out by clicking here! 

The Knox County Property Assessor's Office, which has recently completed its transition to a new GIS software environment, is featured in the most recent edition of the Sidwell Company's The Source quarterly newsletter. The article makes note of the Property Assessor's integration of their Computerized Assessment and Mass Appraisal (CAMA) system with the GIS. 

The Register of Deeds Office has requested that the recently- implemented links to the recorded PLAT DOCUMENTS be removed from KGIS's websites. However, KGIS users (both inter-departmental and general public) will still be able to access the recorded DEED DOCUMENTS (or what KGIS users may know as "Owner Documents"). In the meanwhile, if you need to access the recorded plat documents ( or what KGIS users refer to as "Parcel Documents"), you will need to contact the Register's Office or access them via their subscription service.   

The Knox County Register of Deeds Office has provided KGIS (and KNOXnetWhere) users with new "hyperlink" tools which provide access to recorded deed documents. By integrating the Registers' computerized imaging system with the Knox County Property Assessor's database (hosted on KGIS), users are provided with a map-based entry point to recorded deeds (from which some of mapped parcel boundaries are derived). For more information on how to access the new hyperlinks, click here. 

Google Maps has implemented the "Street View" capability that allows users to virtually drive the streets of Knoxville from the comfort of their personal computer...now if we could get Google to do something about those gas prices. Click here for an example image (showing KGIS's office at 606 Main Street). 

KGIS has created another map theme within its KNOXnetWhere mapping site specifically for display of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1:24000 scale topographic maps (also known as the 7.5-minute quadrangles). Within the theme, users will be able to display current-day KGIS features (such as parcel boundaries) on top of the USGS quads, which continue to be a great cartographic reference even though they have not been updated since the early 1990s, when the USGS 1:24000 program ended. For access to other historic USGS maps covering other areas of East Tennessee,  visit the Univ. of Tennessee Map Library's Online Topographic Resource. 

Some of TVA's 1935 Aerial Photography of the City of Knoxville has been added to the Aerial Photo Theme within KGIS's KNOXnetWhere mapping site. The source photography was scanned and rectified by the MPC to fit with the KGIS basemap. To display the photos, users will need to turn on the appropriate "Aerial Photo 1935" map layer within the Layers tab of the site. (The photos are also viewable within the newly added USGS Quads theme). For more information, click here. 

On April 1, 2008, the Knox County Property Assessor's Office became the latest department to transition its map-related workflows to KGIS's new GIS platform,  which is based upon the ESRI ArcGIS software suite. There are 187,000+ parcels of land in Knox County, and the Mapping Department of the Property Assessor is using the Sidwell Company's Parcel Builder™ software (the first organization in Tennessee to do so!) in order to manage its many land and ownership records.  This is all part of KGIS's three-year project to transition more than 29 mapping-related City and County workflows to the latest technology. 

Microsoft's Google-like map website , called Live Search Maps, has added some very detailed 3-d imagery for Knoxville, allowing users to virtually fly-around Knoxville from the air. And they've added most of the downtown buildings into their 3-d Virtual Earth models (which requires a download of their plug-in viewer). The Bird's Eye view photography was flown in Dec 2006 / Jan 2007 timeframe.

 

Regional (and statewide) aerial photography and other map-based information can now be viewed via the State of Tennessee's Enterprise GIS Portal (or TNMAP). GIS-related news, metadata and links can also be found at the site. 

KGIS welcomes its newest data sharing partner: The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (MKAA). The Authority owns and manages the Downtown Island Airport (DKX) here in Knoxville, along with the much larger McGhee Tyson Airport located in Blount County. The Authority plans to use the KGIS landbase data to assist with its inventory of assets and infrastructure. Welcome Aboard MKAA! 

KGIS has added its newly acquired, 1-ft.-resolution aerial ortho-photography to KNOXnetWhere?.  The photography was flown back in March 2007 as part of KGIS's landbase update project with Sanborn & Co. KGIS is scheduled to receive updates to its other landbase data (incl. building footprints, edges of pavement, hydrography, topography, etc.) in 2008 and 2009 based upon this same photography.  

KGIS, and its representative City and County mapping departments, is in the midst of a major software upgrade project, wherein we will be transitioning to new GIS software: ArcGIS from ESRI. And today, October 10th, 2007, marks a major milestone of this transistion, with the MPC Addressing Department going "live" on the new software for its address and street name assignment / map management.

The school zone search (under the Online Data pulldown menu above) has been updated to include both 2007 and 2008 High School Zones. Simply key in your street address, and the results will show two entries under the High School column - the first of which represents the 2007 High School zone; the second one indicating the 2008 High School Zone. To actually view the High School zones on a map, you'll want to initiate the KNOXnetWhere? interactive mapping tool, and then select one of the High Schools options from the Select a Map Theme pulldown menu. 

The new High School zones have been added to the KnoxNetWhere mapping website. To display the new school zones click on the KNOXnetWhere? link and change the theme by clicking on the dropdown box under Select a Map Theme and select "high schools & zones 2008" subtheme under the Schools Theme. The map also shows the location of the new Hardin Valley School that is scheduled for completion in 2008. 

KGIS, and its Executive Director Keith Stump, was presented with the 2007 GIS Champion Award at the recent Tennessee Geographic Information Council (TNGIC) Annual Conference in Chattanooga, TN. The award recognizes outstanding efforts at promoting the use of geographic information systems (GIS). In recognizing Keith and KGIS, it was noted that Knox was an early adopter of GIS back in the mid '80s, and that it still serves as a successful model even today. TNGIC has a membership of more than 400 members from all corners of the State.

 

KGIS.Org and its hosted websites (including KNOXnetWhere?) received a slight "power boost" this week! By replacing the previous 6-year-old servers with newer models, it is our hope that users are provided with a more responsive website. If you are aware of any site that directly links to some of the KGIS.Org Online Data tools, such as School Zone Search, or Voting Location Search, then you will want to update those links to the new, slightly adjusted URL paths. Please send feedback or any suggestions for change to kgis@kgis.org.
