Survey data, including benchmarks, block maps, and centerline monument ties, is managed within the integrated ArcGIS platform. This unified approach consolidates these elements into one comprehensive system, providing efficient and accurate access to all geographical data needs. The ArcGIS environment is your go-to resource for consistent, real-time data management and streamlined access to these key urban planning tools.
City survey requirements can be found in the City’s General Engineering Standards (GES), Article 8. The City has developed a survey coordinate system (City of Prescott Coordinate System (COPCS)) to better facilitate the incorporation of survey and engineering data into the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS). Projects submitted to the City for review MUST be referenced to the COPCS (General Engineering Standards (GES), Article 8.2.2.A.).
