The City of Columbia, Missouri's CityView application provides information about property, streets, community features, public service, zoning, addresses, property owner, political jurisdiction, ward and council member, utility services, annexation history, school attendance areas, trash/recycling pickup, watersheds, special taxing districts, police and fire protection, and natural resource information through a convenient web map. The intent of this map is to quickly provide answers to questions about City services. A range of basemaps be selected to best display the geographic features most appropriate for the information being requested to be displayed on the app.
Using a web browser, tools are provided to both navigate and produce a map that is customized to meet most needs.
Basemaps
Aerial Imageries
A set of aerial imagery, current and historic; 'Current Imagery' will always be the most current imagery we have available; imagery is generally updated in May of each year.
Black and White Map
A gray scale map designed for basic mapping needs and non-color printing. Roads, structure footprints with a minimum area of 82 square feet, addresses, community features, schools, fire stations, and property boundaries in the City of Columbia and the surrounding metropolitan area are the key elements. The source of the data is from the Boone County Assessor’s Office and the City of Columbia IT/GIS office.
Elevation Visualization
This map represents a visualization of the bare-earth terrain through Hillshading. The hillshade was created from the 2015 bare-earth LiDAR DTM data. The terrain data was acquired via Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) airborne platform in early 2015. The LiDAR was acquired with an elevation measurement approximately every 2 feet with a vertical accuracy of 6 inches. The visualization represents the bare-ground that has been hydro-enforced; which means ponds, lakes, and larger streams are forced into the elevation model. Contact the City of Columbia IT/GIS Division with questions about this data.
General Map
This basemap opens as the CityView background by default. It is a basic color map designed to support the routine mapping and property information needs of the public and City staff. The focus of this map is to provide a variety of features that are most desirable by the most people and provide a general overview of the Columbia metro area. n Features displayed on the map include roads, city boundary, streams and ponds, watersheds, structure footprints with a minimum area of 82 square feet, addresses, community features, trails, parks and public spaces, schools, and fire stations. The source of the data is from the Boone County Assessor’s Office and the City of Columbia IT/GIS office.
Natural Features
The Natural Features map represents the natural features of the Columbia metro area. The map shows terrain data acquired via Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) airborne platform in early 2015. The LiDAR was acquired with an elevation measurement approximately every 2 feet with a vertical accuracy of 3 inches. Besides the terrain data, the map includes features such as 2-ft contours created from the 2015 LiDAR, hydrology (streams, ponds,lakes, etc.) originally digitized from 2002 aerial photography and has updates from 2007, 2011, 2015, 2017, and 2019 photography,, watersheds, FEMA flood zones from 2015, structures, parks and natural areas, trails, roads, and the city boundary. If you want to see vegetation, please view the 2007 NRI 6 Class or 2007 NRI 16 Class maps in CityView. The source of the data is from the Boone County Assessor’s Office and the City of Columbia IT/GIS office.
Natural Resources Inventory Maps
The six and sixteen class natural resources inventory maps show ground conditions from 2007 leaf on photography. The six class map shows forest, cropland, disturbed land, grass, impervious surfaces, and water. The sixteen class map uses the five categories listed above, but breaks forest out into eleven additional classes: Mixed Hardwood Forest Old (Oak-Hickory-Maple); Mixed Hardwood Forest Young (Oak-Hickory-Maple); Mixed Invasive Forest (Elm-Hackberry-Locust); Oak-Hickory-Maple; Old Field Mix; Red Cedar Forest; Red Cedar Mixed Forest; Riverfront/Bottomland Forest Old (Sycamore-Cottonwood); Riverfront/Bottomland Forest Young (Sycamore-Cottonwood); Urban Forest/Landscape Planting; Unclassified Tree Canopy. 2007 Natural Resources Inventory Source: City of Columbia. A new NRI will be completed in 2023.
Slope Map Current
The slope map represents the terrain slope of Boone County. Slope is shown at 2-ft resolution and is derived from 2015 bare-earth LiDAR data. The slope map is overlaid on the LiDAR terrain to visually show relief. The terrain data was acquired via Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) airborne platform in early 2015. The LiDAR was acquired with an elevation measurement approximately every 2 feet with a vertical accuracy of 3 inches. Besides the slope data, the map includes features such as 2-ft contours created from the 2015 LiDAR, 2002 hydrology streams, ponds,lakes, etc.) originally digitized from 2002 aerial photography and has updates from 2007, 2011, 2015, 2017, and 2019 photography,, watersheds, sinkholes, structure footprints with a minimum area of 82 square feet, parks and natural areas, trails, sinkholes, roads, and city boundary. 2015 LiDAR Slope Source: City of Columbia. The source of the data is from the Boone County Assessor’s Office and the City of Columbia IT/GIS office.
Soils Runoff
The Soils map represents soils SSURGO data overlaid on 2015 elevation hillshade and 2015 aerial photography. The soils data is shown as polygon data and provides different information based on scale. SSURGO data provided to Esri September 2011 by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Fort Worth, TX. The Esri Soils Team created a map with 130 of the most useful variables in SSURGO. This map displays information, dependent on scale: Soil Order (soil type) from 1:40,000 and greater; Soil order and Suborder between 1:9,000-1:39,999; lastly Runoff Ability from 1:8,999 and smaller along with labels that provide MapUnit Name. Mapunit Name provides slope and soil description. Contact the City of Columbia IT/GIS Division with questions about this data.
Zoning Map Current
A color thematic map of the City of Columbia zoning districts. Tax parcel lines are included to provide a reference to individual properties and the zoning. In cases where an individual parcel of property may have several zoning districts or overlay zoning districts, this map is a useful guide. This map is updated nightly.
Data Sources
The data source for the parcel boundaries, property ownership, appraisal information, 2019 aerial photography, and the basic 2015 Lidar data is provided by the Boone County Assessor’s Office. Unless otherwise noted, the source for the all other data is internal to the City of Columbia IT/GIS office.
