Exchanging maps on CD (Alameda Co.)

sako · Post by **sako** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:15 pm

I'm looking for somebody who has all the survey maps (ROS,TM, PM, CR) for Alameda County. I could exchange them with San Mateo County Maps or Santa Clara County Maps.
If you are interested, please respond to this post or send me a private message, or call me at 408-691-8891

Thanks

San Mateo is available on line. there is no such beast for Alameda county that I know of. They have all their info on an INTRANET and they have not made that web available to the rest of the world. Research in Alameda county means that you have to GO there.

The Central Valley Chapter is in the process of uploading and providing access to Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Merced and the adjoining Counties maps that we have into our members library:
http://www.californiacentralvalleysurve ... rary.shtml

We are looking for copies of Santa Clara and Alameda County maps to upload.

(Also San Benito)

Ken, please call me (209) 524-3525 (x106) or email directly (KSpencer@nseng.net) at your convenience, to discuss costs (or swapping of files, or a contributor password, or ....)

PS -

And if you want bulk copies, contact me for more information. If you provide the medium - (flash drive - mini-drive) the only charge will be the shipping.

I'm aware that BPS in Oakland sold at least one set of CDs containing the Alameda County maps.

I thought the counties wanted to sell them, for like $1000 per set? Of course, that's the beauty of digital copies in the public domain.

Alameda county tiffs are very poor quality. Make sure sure you can read them before scheduling field work

I was told maps being sold now are images from microfiche. The original copies of maps are being scanned, these will have better resolution and replace microfiche images.

BPS has different scans than those that Public Works has.

okay

On a smaller scale -

A little publicity is a good thing.
