KGIS receives the final corrected 2016 Aerial Photography flown by The Atlantic Group, LLC back in March 2016.  Atlantic fixed a few issues and calibrated the color to remove some of the green and red color. These corrected aerials are available on all KGIS Mapping Applications, ESRI ArcMap Image Services, and TIFF images. 

Please contact KGIS at (865) 215-2641 if you have any questions or problems accessing the new aerials.

The Office of Neighborhoods (OON) is proud to announce the launch of a Neighborhood Groups map layer on KGIS. With support from KGIS and the City of Knoxville’s Engineering Department, OON was able to map the boundaries of approximately 100 neighborhood groups throughout the city.

Also, KGIS and OON have created the “Neighborhood Groups Viewer” --- an application that allows the site visitor to get a bird’s eye view of neighborhood group boundaries, search for groups, import other map layers, and perform other functions. For tips on using the Viewer, click on the “Help” button and download the PDF document.

The  City of Knoxville's Engineering & Public Works department has unveiled a new Capital Improvements map application highlighting the locations of current construction and design projects. The application is based upon Google Maps, and provides hyperlinks to PDF documents further describing the scope of each project. KUB also provides an interactive map (based upon the same mapping technology as KGIS) highlighting its larger capital Construction Projects. (click here for more information)

We have made a significant upgrade to our website Read More about it HERE. 

The Aerial map theme has been updated in KGIS Maps, and in other web-based sites such as City Survey Control, to reflect the recently flown 2016 ortho-photography (acquired from The Atlantic Group LLC). 

Previously, the Aerial theme had reflected spring 2014 vintage photography. To gain access to that original 2014 data, users can click on the 2014 Aerial theme located under the Historical Aerialscategory of Map themes (see image). READ MORE....

Several precinct boundary changes and new voting location changes have been announced by the Knox County Election Commission. Click HERE for the more information, including maps courtesy WBIR. A map of all Voting Precincts can be found on KGIS's Ready-made PDF Maps page, and an interactive map can be found in KGIS Maps. 

A new 2016 Aerial (Preliminary) map theme has been added to KGIS Maps. Since these aerials are preliminary, by-products of the Spring 2016 Knox County Property Assessor project with EagleView - Pictometry , they don't quite meet the product standards of past KGIS aerial products. Therefore, instead of replacing the default Aerial Theme (which is still vintage 2014), the preliminary aerials are located under the Historical Aerials category of Map themes (see image).
