We are proud to announce that our TSS Office of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) increased its Geospatial Maturity Assessment Grade from a B+ to an A-. You can see the report below. Regarding Orthoimagery Leaf-on, Arkansas has a policy that any digital orthoimagery acquired by the state must be leaf-off. In a state with a lot of deciduous forest canopy, leaf-off better supports county assessors, public safety, 911, etc.

Kudos to the team at GIS and all of our agency partners for their efforts! This increase is a testament to all of their hard work.

Arkansans who are interested in finding where your home address is compared to new election Districts like Justice of Peace Districts, School Board Zones or Municipal Wards we’ve got a resource for you. Our Find My Districts map is updated and located here: https://gis.arkansas.gov/viewer.php

This resource is very easy to use. Enter your address like this [ 501 Woodlane St, Little Rock, AR, 72201 ] and the system will navigate the map to your location. Or, if for some reason the system cannot locate your address, you can also navigate using the + or - button to zoom in or out, and then click the map to drag it to your area and continuing zooming in to your location. Once there click your spot on the map. A District Info box will list all the election districts for that location. The District Info box will list both the new House and Senate Districts that will be used for the 2022 general elections and the House or Senate member in the current districts that remain in effect until the election.
