Title: School Project, Engineers/DOT Available?
Post by: PColumbus73 on October 28, 2013, 02:34:16 PM
Afternoon!

For my graduating project, I'm developing a road here in Myrtle Beach, SC (not an actual road). I've been trying to figure out how to get geographic/GIS Data into AutoCAD so I can work on developing the proposed corridor. Contacting the City and County hasn't returned much fruit thus far. I'm basically looking for parcel data, cross streets/highways and geographic features that will help make this project as accurate as possible.


Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Highway use TIGER (http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger.html). For parcels, I don't know South Carolina at all but a lot of state assessors office have parcel layers available for download.

For other stuff I assume you've seen http://www.gis.sc.gov/data.html

I've tried the Horry County GIS Service but I can't upload it into AutoCAD to work with.

Your Google Maps Engine map isn't public, we can't see it.

It sounds like the County sells GIS Data, but I haven't gotten a response from the GIS department about it. If it's too expensive, I'll just have to wing it.

Edit: Here is a rough outline of where I am working with, the proposed corridor is in yellow. It maybe hard to see, for which I apologize.
