Obtaining City of Richmond GIS Data
Data sharing is central to the success of GIS in the City of Richmond. Customer service is
one of the City's top priorities, so the GIS Team is committed to getting you what you need whether you are a GIS professional,
an Autocad user, or a citizen needing a map.
Special Note Regarding Maps:
The GIS Team staff is very small and lacks the resources to interupt on-going projects to perform ad hoc mapping requests.
It is for this reason that we refer customers to the resources below.
Map Library
Many of the commonly requested maps are available in the Map Library.
Geodetic Ground Control
Census
Community Development
Council Districts
Economic Development
Voter Precincts
General maps
Need A Tourism Map?
We highly recommend users check out the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau web site for obtaining such information.
FTP download
In addition to providing some commonly requested maps from our online map library, we are now able to provide our GIS data as a FREE service, via downloads
from the FTP site.
For orthophotos or contours, please continue reading below.
Need Orthophotos or Contours?
(You will find GIS formatted shapefile contours are available as a single zip file under the shapefiles folder on the FTP site.)
Index map for 1999 orthos and dxf files
If you need to obtain contours for Autocad, then review this map to research your study site to
determine which map number grid tiles cover your area of interest. (You will need to use Adobe to review the map document)
The City does not currently own any orthophotography more current that 1999. The City has access to and uses
more recent orthophotography for internal use that is provided by VITA (VA Information Technologies Agency) Integrated Services Program.
Since the City does not have the rights to publish this more recent orthophotography for FTP access, you may need to check the references
cited below to see how you can obtain 2006 orthophotography from VITA's ISP.
You may obtain 1999 orthophotography from our FTP site.
I am ready to access the FTP site.
