The Division of Conservation (DOC) developed a Cost-Share Project Mapping System in conjunction with the Data Access Support Center (DASC) and the University of Kansas that allows the user to map projects down to the quarter section with the option of choosing various spatial layers. All cost-share practices within the Cost-Share and Information Management System (CSIMS) implemented since State Fiscal Year 2004 (July 1, 2003) can be mapped using this program.

Project Mapping System for State Cost-Share
Project Mapping System Use Instructions
The following are instructions on the use of the DOC Mapping System which gives the DOC, conservation districts, other interested organizations and individuals the ability to spatially map state funded cost-share projects. Currently the system will allow mapping of the state cost-share programs: Water Resources Cost-Share Program (WRCSP), Non-Point Source Pollution Control Program (NPSPCP) and the Riparian and Wetland Protection Program (RWPP). The mapping system data from CSIMS updates every day at 7 a.m.
- Navigation Tools: You have the option to zoom to county, city, HUC and river basin. You may also query a project by section, township and range. When your selection is made click "GO."
- Map Tools: This feature allows a query by Theme which includes View all, Programs, Project type or Contaminant. It also includes a selection of Program year, 2004 through 2007. Data in CSIMS is not available for years prior to 2004 as that was the first year for CSIMS operation. The Draw Project Areas function allows for options that apply to how the project is viewed. The options are Fill with no label, Fill with label, Outline with no label, and Outline with label. To view a project with the aerial maps on, you need to enable the Outline feature otherwise the color will cover the project area. There is also an Advanced Query option in the map tools which allows you to select a specific program, NPS, R&W and WR. A selection by Project Type is also available as is a query by contaminant. Another important feature is View Project Summary. This feature will show the tabular data for that specific project(s).
- Map: This navigation feature allows you to zoom in with the ability to select the Zoom Level which ranges from 1.5 X to 10X. You may also zoom out, pan up or down or left and right. After your selection is made and the radio button is marked, click your cursor on the county of interest and the desired effect will be executed. Other important features in this section are the Project Data and County Summary which will give you the tabular data on the screen relating to the project(s) you have queried. The Legend option gives you the overview of the legend that will be printed on the map. The legend identifies the different features on the map. The Full Extent feature allows you to view the entire state.
- Table of Contents: These features allow you to select what spatial overlays you want to appear on the map. You can check one or all of the boxes and then click Update Map to affect the changes. You may also print the map using the Print Map button in this section.
- Zoom in using the cursor: You may zoom in on any project or county at anytime by moving the cursor (+) to the desired county or project and left clicking your mouse.
- Project Data: Using the project data radio button will allow you to print the tabular data of a project by marking the Project Data button and left clicking your mouse on the project. At the bottom of your screen you will see the data: Contract, Project, Program and Pollutant. You may left click on the contract and see detailed contract information. The SSN's of the cost-share recipients are not included on this contract information. Only PAID contracts will be listed. The approved contracts in CSIMS are not in the mapping system.
- Print Map: You must enter a map title before printing the map. You can select the site and the scale of the printed map. There is an option to include the map title, date, an overview map and project summary by checking the box. You may also choose either portrait or landscape when printing the map along with the type of symbol to designate North.
