Maps Types of map prints available from the Commission are described below. Prices for prints can be found in the aerial photography and map price list. Samples of some maps can be found in the aerial photography and map samples document (PDF). Printing the sample document will show the maps at actual scale. To place an order for map prints, or for more information, please call the Commission Topographic Maps Topographic maps portray the shape and elevation of land through the use of contour lines. Both natural and constructed features are shown and identified, including lakes, rivers, vegetation, roads, boundaries, transmission lines, and major buildings. Topographic maps also contain control survey information, such as Public Land Survey section corners and section lines. Topographic maps are created in either one of two scales. Topos created at a scale of Topographic maps are not available for the entire Region, and some topographic maps are available from municipalities rather than from the Commission. The following PDF files show the areas of each county that have been mapped, the date of the mapping, and where hardcopy prints can be obtained: Base Maps The Commission maintains a series of base maps for use in planning activities. The base maps depict transportation features, municipal boundaries, major lakes and rivers, and Public Land Survey section lines and corners. County base maps are available in scales of Soil Mapping Units Soil mapping units define areas based on soil type, slope,
and erosion. Data for soil maps was gathered between 1963 and 1965 through a cooperative
effort by SEWRPC and the USDA Soil Conservation Service, and is displayed on aerial
photographic images from 1963. The maps are available in two different scales,
both showing a six-square-mile area. Maps at Plan Maps Transportation and land use plan maps for the Region are
available. Plan maps measure Transportation Plan Maps The following plan maps show arterial street and highway
elements for the Region including state trunk freeways and nonfreeways,
county and local trunk highways, freeway-nonfreeway interchanges, numbers
of traffic lanes, transit stations, park-ride and park-pool lots, and
intermodal terminals (airport, bus, passenger rail, seaport). The
Transit and bicycle element maps for the
Land Use Plan Maps These maps show recommended land use development for the Region including suburban density, low density, medium density, and high density residential areas; major commercial, industrial, outdoor recreational, transportation, utility, governmental, and institutional centers; primary environmental corridors; and agricultural and rural residential areas.
Existing Land Use Maps These maps show existing land use development of the Region categorized by single-family and multi-family residential; retail and service; manufacturing, wholesale, and storage; landfill and extractive; transportation, communication, and utilities (except highways, railways, and transmission lines); governmental and institutional; woodland and wetland; recreational; and agricultural and other open lands.
