Drainage Tile Mapping
***Update
10/29/09: Rockies Express Pipeline Co. has supplied the
SWCD with PDF maps of tile lines that were encountered during their
pipeline construction in the southern part of Johnson County.
These maps contain tile sizes and fittings used to fix tiles that
were broken during construction of the pipeline. We are
currently working on getting these maps in a format that can be used
with our computer software. Please check back for more
updates.
Do you have
maps of drainage tile for your land? Have you recently installed
tile or are you planning on installing tile in the future? Have you
recently repaired any tiles? If you answered yes to any of these
questions, please call our office.
We are
currently working on creating a master private drainage tile map for
the county. We receive a lot of inquiries about tile locations, and
unfortunately, record keeping of installed tile has been scarce for
many years.
Our office
utilizes a mobile GPS mapping system that does not require an ATV or
any other vehicle to map tiles, so there is no disturbance to your
property. Just give us a call and we’ll map your tile lines at no
cost to you. Please note that only visible tile trenches,
blowholes or repaired areas will be mapped. We will not
attempt to locate old tile that is not visible from the ground.
As we add to
our inventory of tile maps, we can create customized maps for
landowners with tiles drawn over any number of layers. We can
create maps with tile lines, sizes, material, aerial photos, roads,
you name it! Our maps are free of charge and can be tailored to
meet your needs.
We can also
create computerized maps from hand-drawn installation maps.
If you would
like to create your own maps, we will provide you with the data
gathered and a program to use at no cost.
Please call Andy at (317) 736-9540
x103 for a map or to schedule a visit. Any tile
information supplied to our office will be returned after it is
entered into our computer. |
