Authoritative GIS Data for New Mexico

MicahBabinski — Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:40:41 GMT

Greetings!

Is anyone familiar with New Mexico GIS data? I am looking for the best authoritative sources of data for these general features:

REST Service/WMS/Shapefile or similar is ideal. Good metadata (doesn't need to be FGDC-compliant) is a plus.

I'm specifically interested in the Colfax County area around Raton, NM.

Warm Regards,

Micah

A google search on "New Mexico GIS" returns several legitimate sources.

Try the New Mexico Resource Geographic information System: http://rgis.unm.edu/

For power plants, try the Energy Information Administration: http://www.eia.gov/maps/layer_info-m.php

New Mexico Geographic Information Council: http://nmgic.com/

For utility boundaries, start with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission: http://www.nmprc.state.nm.us/consumer-relations/jurisdiction-list.html If they don't have it, you will have to ask each utility directly. Platts makes a commercial version, and they sell service territory data: http://www.platts.com/products/utility-service-territories-north-america-map

Confax County has IT and EM contacts listed on their website: http://www.co.colfax.nm.us/

Anyone else having this issues with the New Mexico RGIS site:

I really like the organization and content of the site overall.
