LABINS: An Internet Tool for Distribution of Survey and Mapping Data Track: Surveying Author(s): Georgianna Strode, Alvin Gloer The Land Boundary Information System (LABINS) was begun in 1984 by the state of Florida as a means for distributing survey and mapping related data. Today LABINS is available over the Internet providing a multitude of data sets of interest to a variety of sectors. Today's site includes digital mapping images and databases for viewing and downloading including DOQQs, DRGs, DLGs, and DEMs in various formats and projections. Survey-related data includes horizontal and vertical control, original land records, sectional land corner records, mean high water elevations, or methods used to determine mean high water datums on the states tidally affected water bodies. An ArcIMS mapping component was added to visually display data in geographical context. All data sets are available for download at no cost. Since the web site has been in place, Florida's Bureau of Survey and Mapping has experienced as much as a 75% reduction in data requests.
