Where to get GIS aerials and other data for Denver area

Depends on what kinds of data you’re looking for. Places to start would be the websites for the US Geological Survey, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and whatever city/county your site or area of study is in. I’d probably try to work those sources in reverse of the order I listed, going from local to national, but again it depends on what you’re looking for.

call or email the city of denver gis dept…they have everything and more that you’re looking for, trust me.

gisdatadepot and seamless server come in handy too…those three will get you through most ANY gis project.

my urban design (senior thesis) site last year was approximately two blocks north of yours (gates rubber co). design workshop denver has a real project there by the way. gis and other base data is readily available. call or email the city gis dept and tell them youre a student representing your class and they will give you a password to the ftp where you can download way way way more data than you’ll even know what to do with.

i cant explain here how to use seamless, but its good for dem’s and some soils stuff and what not…all that you can get on denvers ftp. i wish i could share all my data wit you, but i dont even know where it is right now and i dont know how we’d share it anyway…could i get some kind of academic or professional credit? kidding..

part sof my urban project are on here if you want to look in my folio..good luck..
