City of Glendale Fire Map Book Database Development
Utilizing a series of cadastral and planimetric data sets for the creation of an inter-City fire map book database, the City of Glendale, in cooperation with its neighboring cities of Burbank and Pasadena and under Esri's support, successfully organized and developed a work plan to build an AML-based menu interface application that has streamlined the production of an up-to-date GIS database. The main objective was to enable the novice user to display, query, analyze, and quickly produce current and reliable 1":400' scale 8.5 x 14 inch fire maps, with an accurately defined cadastral land base housing the essential geographic features such as color coded hydrants (by size), street names, street block numbers, tanks, cisterns, gates, helipads, and helispots. Other integral components and characteristics of the map book database include (1) a referencing system to all adjacent map sheets including a reference to Thomas Brothers map book pages when applicable, (2) a one-inch data overlap from page to page, (3)
a street address table index (4) an inter City-wide map index, and (5) a map book symbols legend.
