Abstract:Since the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) began archiving right of way (ROW) maps in the 1940s, MDOT has updated the information technologies it uses for map creation and archival. Past efforts to standardize this archive have revealed the need for a coordinated approach. With the goal of modernizing ROW maps using a geographic information system (GIS) platform, research efforts evaluated the mapping formats across the state, including current efforts to modernize the archive, and proposed three options for proceeding. Results of a proposed pilot project for modernization outline the steps, resources and training needed to convert ROW mapping to GIS.
