Ashland County, WI has a beautiful setting along the southern shore of Lake Superior and is host to numerous northwoods activities. Â The County recently decided to upgrade its cadastral GIS layers to take advantage of Esri's newest tools including the parcel fabric. Â To accomplish this they choose Cloudpoint Geographics to provide professional services involving migrating their data into the parcel fabric within the ArcGIS environment. Â In addition, Cloudpoint will help the County clean and submit their parcel layer, among others, to Wisconsin's State Cartographer's Office (SCO) as part of Version 3 of the Parcel Database initiative project resulting from Act 20. Â This work will involve refining parcel data for updated right-of-way information, and linking subdivision plans and survey plats. Â The County also has a well-established set of GPS control points that will be utilized as part of the project as well. Â They continue to refine their PLSS monument network and look forward to providing a high-quality GIS system for its internal departments as well as local businesses and constituents. Â Cloudpoint's professional staff will provide onsite training on the parcel fabric workflows and hands-on assistance with planning future GIS layer creation and development. We are very excited to assist Ashland County in achieving the goals they have established!
