The 'old'
website will continue to run at http://megis.maine.gov for one week, but as of
March 21 it will go away and any requests to http://megis.maine.gov will be redirected to
the new site. We will be retiring the 'old' website on March
21.
The new website
combines the web mapping services into the data catalog, and includes metadata
stored in the GeoLibrary GeoPortal. Some changes you may
notice:
Where did the tables
go? Standalone tables are now bundled in with the data layers they relate
to (so TINGIS is bundled into the public drinking wells, geocodes is the town
boundaries, etc.).
What happened to
some federally-supplied data? Certain data layers that the federal
government supplies are no longer offered through our data catalog as that is a
redundant function. Instead we provide links to the federal sites where
the data can be obtained. This is true for things like NWI, SSURGO soils,
and NAIP imagery.
