Innovative Virtual Parcel Map Viewer: Enhancing Geospatial Data Access in Wisconsin

The Virtual Parcel Map Viewer is a collaborative research project by UW-Madison’s State Cartographer’s Office and UW-Eau Claire’s Department of Geography & Anthropology. This initiative explores the feasibility of integrating existing county web map services into a centralized online platform, initially focusing on parcel data. Utilizing up-to-date web services ensures the most authoritative information without requiring counties to share their data directly. The project aims to create a comprehensive geospatial view while enhancing accessibility for geospatial professionals, counties, and citizens across Wisconsin.

  1. Virtual Parcel Map Viewer A joint research project by: UW-Madison’s State Cartographer’s Office UW-Eau Claire’s Dept. of Geography & Anthropology

  2. Research Project Focus • Examine feasibility of integrating existing county Web map services into a single online map • Initially, the focus is on parcel services • Create statewide view of geospatial data collected and maintained at the county level

  3. A Different Approach! Can be used for any type of geospatial data, not just parcels. Using Web services means we will be displaying the most up-to-date data from the most authoritative source (i.e., the counties). Does not require counties to contribute a copy of their data. Instead, we access services that have already been published online. No stitching, edgematching, or rubbersheeting needed. Users will NOT be able to download data.

  4. Current Status Most counties use Esri’sArcGIS Server technology. ArcIMS services are still widely used, although many counties indicate they are migrating to ArcGIS Server. Small number of counties use non-Esritechnology, i.e., open source Web Map Services.

  9. Who Benefits? PLSS and parcels are the basis of land ownership descriptions -- vital to ownership rights for every property in Wisconsin. PLSS and parcels are critical for many activities that cross county boundaries – from emergency management to economic development. Who benefits? Geospatial professionals – demonstrating ROI (Return on Investment) for the cost of developing and maintaining geospatial data. The county – by being an active participant in a statewide integration effort that will have impacts beyond the county boundaries. Citizens and taxpayers – by seeing maximum utilization of investments they have paid for and obtaining bigger benefits through more effective and efficient governance!
