ROAD CENTER LINES
The Arkansas Center Line File Program is designed to compile a standardized statewide road center line GIS map data layer that can be used by all levels of government, the private sector and individuals. One very unique aspect of the ACF Program is that there is technology transfer that allows for the data maintenance to be done at the local level. The ACF standard is a State Rule and Regulation.
LAND USE PLANNING AND ANALYSIS
Land use analysis is a means of broadly classifying how land is used. Each type of use has its own characteristic that can determine compatibility, location and preference to other land uses in an area. Land use mapping and related information is used to analyze the current pattern of development, and serves as the framework for the formulation of a plan for how land will be used in the future.
911 ADDRESS MAPPING AND DATA MANAGEMENT
Central Arkansas Planning and Development is responsible for mapping and the management of information for all addresses within Prairie County. This information is the primary source utilized by 911 dispatchers in the county for the routing of emergency first responders (Fire, Police and Medical).
