Drainage
Plans Starting June 2013
VANDERBURGH COUNTY
SURVEYOR
June 2013
The Vanderburgh Surveyor's office is
in the process of scanning newly approved full-size subdivision drainage plans
filed in the office starting June 2013. This is a time-consuming undertaking
and your patience is appreciated.
The plats are being scanned on a Vidar Surveyor 600e scanner. It can scan up to
42" wide documents and can scan in black & white, gray scale or color.
In order to achieve a balance between file size and legibility, the majority of
documents are being scanned in black and white at 300 dpi. In special instances
items are being scanned in color, but the file size is extremely large.
As always the Vanderburgh County
Surveyor wants to make as much information available to engineers, surveyors,
developers, and the public as possible. There is no charge to access this
information or to use it, but please be aware the scanner does have costs
associated with it. There are 'consumables' that wear out. The replacement
glass on the scanner costs around $400 to replace. If you find this information
helpful in your work, please consider 'buying' a map or two so that we may have
money available to purchase scanner consumables. Checks should be made out to
the "Vanderburgh Treasurer". This money is deposited into the
Surveyor's map account #2420.
