Some of the latest improvements to the GIS survey index app include:
- The app works on any computer browser and will scale down to nicely fit mobile device screens (smart phones and tablets). If used on a smart phone with GPS, the "Find by location" will locate you on the map.
- The main "Search" box lets you search by addresses and Parcel ID numbers.
- Find the Town-Range-Section, Private Claim, and other PLSS information via pop-up by clicking on the map when zoomed out. When zoomed in, the PLSS information is labeled as map text.
- The advanced search lets you search by subdivision name, Town-Range-Section, surveyor name, and survey date.
- The map Layer List lets you filter surveys by type (CSM, Subdivision, Plat of Survey, Transportation Plat, etc). Checking "on" survey map layers by type will highlight surveys of the type you choose and the extent of the survey types will be easier to see on the map as they will have a solid fill and include map text labels. If labels are not wanted, you can turn them off.
- More surveyor-specific map layers have been added, such as two-foot contours.
- Section corners are labeled on the map with the corner name. Click on the corner symbol to view the tie sheet image and other information about the corner.
- Better printing capabilities (more page sizes, a better map legend, export options such as PDF, etc).
Brown County Planning & Land Services staff are continuing efforts to finish indexing the remaining surveys within the City of Green Bay (yellow area on the map). This incomplete area does contain many surveys, but we know some are still not indexed on this map. Former County Surveyor Pat Ford has come out of retirement to volunteer his time to help complete the indexing within this area! A fully complete survey index will be available here as soon as possible. We anticipate that over 40,000 surveys will be available on this app when finished.
