| Land Survey Information System (http://www.geocommunicator.gov/blmMap/MapLSIS.jsp) |
The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) GeoCommunicator is a GIS application which I find interesting and helpful. GeoCommunicator consolidates GPS data, property descriptions, scanned data and digital data. GeoCommunicator is an interactive publication website for this data. In its earlier form, this included non-BLM surface management lands which have since been removed along with data not managed by the BLM. This application is categorized by Esri as a Government industry (subheading: Surveying). With this application users are able to determine parcel managers, land descriptions, surface land use, and more. For this to be available, GIS was (and still is) used for gathering, managing, and storing survey measurement data from the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) as well as metes and bounds surveys and for making that survey data available to others. Being a seasonal BLM employee (Cadastral Surveying), I have used this particular application in preparation for survey work in addition to using it personally for recreational planning. What I am looking forward to learning more about is the construction of the application itself, how it was originally put together, how it is updated, corrected and maintained, and whether there are any planned changes to the system.
