Re: [Talk-us] Fwd: State Park Boundary shp file

That seems unusual.  Most states have a GIS or Geospatial portal where most
of that information is easily downloadable.

Re: [Talk-us] Fwd: State Park Boundary shp file

[Paul Johnson]

We have one, but only has centroids and already imported from GNIS.

This region's a little weird on information access...for example to get
addresses, I'd have to drive to each of the 77 counties and pay $75 each to
get the address databases for the whole state (so the better chunk of $6k
before getting into gas money and time)...which may or may not end up in a
format I can even read.  At which point, it'd be easier try to collect
every address by hand (a topic that's been covered twice now on the okgis
mailing list).

[Talk-us] Fwd: State Park Boundary shp file

[Paul Johnson]

Would it be possible to get some advice on how to best submit this form for
the outlines Oklahoma's state parks?  I'm not quite sure where "using the
public record to assist in contributing to OpenStreetMap" lies on the
binary option "personal" or "commercial" use, and ODRT basically said, "You
want to know where the state park boundaries are?  File a FOIA Request..."

Hi Paul,



Don Shafer with the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department.



It has been brought to my attention that you have requested a boundary
shape file of the State Parks.



I’m sending our open records request document for you to fill out and send
back to me and I will see that is gets to our Agencies General Council, who
can make that determination.



Thank you

Don Shafer
