Abstract:The Maryland State Highway Administration’s Office of Real Estate processes a high volume of plat information and research
requests on a daily basis. This is a lengthy process which is completed manually. The Office of Real Estate intends to improve
the plat retrieval process by incorporating an automated system. A team of University of Maryland researchers developed a
prototype system in which graphical plat queries may be conducted. In order for the graphical search to work, the four corner
coordinates of each plat must be included in a database that is tied to this system. Currently, this information is missing. A
solution is to geo-reference plats to an ArcGIS map. There are approximately 60,000 plats in the plat inventory which are
currently in use at the Office of Real Estate which need to be geo-referenced in order for this system to be effective. Two sample
sets of plats were given to the University of Maryland research team to estimate the time needed to geo-reference the entire set of
plats.
