Abstract
 Is It a GIS? Transforming Drawings into Intelligent Maps Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Catherine Lorbeer, Aaron Baker The wave of aerial photography and drawing software has propelled many communities into the world of computer mapping. These tools help city planners visualize future development. Oftentimes the products are referred to as GIS maps, but are they really? This presentation will describe how the City of Mesquite, Nevada is migrating a large volume of Autocad drawings and aerial photo resources into a true GIS. The discussion will highlight the accomplishments achieved with a very small staff. Catherine Lorbeer City of Mesquite Planning & Redevelopment 10 E.
