TOPEKA — In connection with the Kansas 150th celebration, the new 2011-2012 official state transportation map will focus on 150 years of transportation across the state. The map has an antique appearance and includes a variety of historical and recent transportation photos. This is first state map to be created completely in geospatial information system and it is one of the first ones in the nation to be produced in GIS.
GIS merges cartography, data analysis and database technology. Maps will be available soon at Kansas travel centers, at KDOT headquarters and district offices and at various hotels, attractions and other locations across the state. About one million copies of the maps will be printed in the next two years.
Tuesday, Jan. 25, 3 p.m.
