Downloadable data sets comprised of shapefiles and metadata
The GIS Basemap is a planning level set of data developed at a scale of 1:24,000. The data set includes information about transportation features (roads, railroads and navigable waters), boundary information (state, county, and municipal boundaries; MnDOT District boundaries; civil and congressional townships; state forests and parks; military reservations; Indian reservation lands; national forests and parks), and stream and lake locations.
This site does not enable you to compose or view maps online (to view GIS Basemap data online, visit the MnDOT Interactive GIS Basemap). This is an internet-based spatial data acquisition site that allows users to download compressed shapefiles for use in their Geographic Information System (GIS), image processing system, or traditional database environment. To use the data present on this site, you must own or have rights to software that is capable of reading the data files. The data on this site is primarily targeted for ArcView® and ARC/INFO®. All users must have the capability to uncompress zipped format archives. This page was developed to support the distribution of ArcView GIS Resources to MnDOT staff and to the general GIS public. The site includes links to extensive data descriptions (metadata) to support our users. All of these resources are provided free of charge and accordingly, are not warranted for any specific use. We do, however, strive to produce accurate data and would appreciate any comments that you may have.
