Welcome to gis.iu.edu

The Indiana Spatial Data Portal (ISDP) provides access to more than 17 terabytes of Indiana geospatial data. Most datasets are available to the public for download and have no use restrictions. Indiana University’s (IU) high performance networks and computing infrastructure support the ISDP which archives and provides web access to imagery provided by data partners within and outside IU.

Available statewide datasets include aerial photos, topographic maps and elevation data. In addition, the ISDP hosts several local datasets including aerial photography and vector basemaps for Allen, Bartholomew, Boone, Dearborn, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Monroe, Morgan, Shelby and Wayne Counties.

This web site connects to Indiana University's Massive Data Storage System (MDSS) which provides long-term, disaster-tolerant data archival and distribution capabilities to hundreds of terabytes of IU data. The MDSS archives data on tapes. When downloading files please be aware that you may experience a short delay (20 seconds to 1 minute) before the download begins. During this time a robotic system is locating and mounting a tape and transferring your file from tape to spinning disk.
