Michael Boffa - City of Midland, Texas City of Midland GeoStation Hub The City of Midland GeoStation Open Data Hub was developed to enhance transparency, accessibility, and engagement between the City of Midland and the public. Serving as a centralized platform, it allows residents, businesses, and researchers to explore maps, dashboards, and web applications that showcase the city’s geographic and operational data. Beyond data sharing, the hub highlights the GIS Division’s ongoing roadmap for system improvement and modernization. It also includes a secured internal portal for city employees, enabling departments to access their own data and applications efficiently. Together, these components make the GeoStation Hub a key resource for fostering collaboration, informed decision-making, and community trust.
| Michael Boffa - City of Midland, Texas Midland Vision Zero Hub The City and County of Midland Vision Zero Initiative web experience integrates ArcGIS Experience Builder, dashboards, and StoryMaps to support a shared goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries throughout the region. This platform visualizes the High Injury Network and provides interactive data analytics and geospatial intelligence on traffic collisions, along with insights into their conditions and underlying causes. By uniting the efforts of both the City and County, the Vision Zero platform delivers a collaborative and data-driven approach to transportation safety. Through engaging visual storytelling and analytical tools, it empowers decision-makers and the community to identify high-risk areas, implement targeted interventions, and collectively work toward safer streets for all.
| Myriam Gomez & Skyla Segal - City of Carrollton, TX Critical Infrastructure Dashboard The City of Carrollton developed this GIS dashboard to provide a centralized operational view of critical infrastructure across the community. The application combines mapped facility locations, live power outage information, summary statistics, and interactive filters to support emergency planning and response. By consolidating multiple datasets into a single platform, staff can quickly assess potential impacts, identify infrastructure concentrations, and monitor changing conditions. The integration of live utility outage data adds an additional layer of situational awareness that supports proactive decision-making during weather events and other incidents. This dashboard highlights how GIS can be used to transform infrastructure data into an accessible, real-time planning and response tool.

Christie Robinson- City of San Marcos SMTX Main Street Grants Viewer The San Marcos Main Street Program has worked since 1986 to strengthen the heart of our city through revitalization focused on design, economic vitality, organization, and promotion. The SMTX Main Street Grants Viewer highlights the investments that support local and small businesses along Main Street. This interactive map provides an at-a-glance summary of grant-funded projects, including reinvestment totals, project types, and details about the programs behind them. Our goal is to promote transparency and raise awareness of the incentive programs available to help businesses thrive in downtown San Marcos
| Anna Lenkowsky- City of Corinth Rolling into Fall 2025 Bike Route Map Poster The Rolling into Fall bike rally, presented by the Lake Cities Chamber of Commerce, is an annual event that spans over several cities in the Lake Cities area. There are four routes ranging from 10 miles to 62 miles that contain several loops and overlapping paths that change every year. The variation of routes allowed for the participation of all riders, beginners to advanced cyclists. Using the corresponding Strava routes within ArcGIS Pro, each line was hand placed and symbolized with arrows to help depict the direction of flow. The shared paths of all of the routes in certain areas made for a considerable visual challenge in how to best depict the overlapping sections. Black guide arrows were added to help in this regard. Restroom and water stations were depicted as well as the shared start and finish location at Agora in Corinth. The map was made to be a fun visual aid on race day to help the volunteers and race participants get an overall geographical look at the routes.
| Sara Brown - City of Tyler Most Haunted Hotels in Texas Poster This poster tells the story of the 15 most haunted hotels and how they earned their spot on the list of the most haunted hotels in Texas while bringing attention to the various ways GIS is employed to create interesting and unique maps. The subject matter of the map and the problems it can solve; it opens up GIS to a community of people who enjoy visiting these places boosting tourism to small towns in Texas. In conclusion, this map shows what GIS is capable of and how maps are more than just navigation - they can be used to explore the world around us and tell the stories of who we are. This map was made using ArcGIS Pro and GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). ArcGIS Pro was used to create the layout of the map while GIMP was used to create the text boxes and edit the photos to match the theme of the map. The skills of John Nelson inspired the symbolization of the map with much of the theme and creation techniques learned from the many of his cartography videos.

Levi Briggs - Town of Little Elm Little Elm 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Poster With 2026 being 60th anniversary of the Town of Little Elm, we wanted to make something that conveyed the growth we've experienced through the decades while simultaneously connecting back to our roots. Drawing inspiration from historic mid-century topographic USGS maps, we created this 7.5 Minute Quadrangle map centered on Little Elm. This map is intended to be a sort of modern day update to the same map published by USGS in 1960, six years before Little Elm was incorporated.
| Azaria Broomfield - Arkansas College of Health and Education GIS in Public Health: Analysis of Support Services for Domestic Violence Survivors in Rural Southwest Arkansas This interactive GIS web map displays the distribution of essential support services for domestic and sexual violence survivors living in a shelter located in Southwest Arkansas. Analysis was performed across Hempstead, Union, and Columbia County, AR due to counties proximity to the shelter. Service addresses were obtained through public directories and separated into six categories. Those addresses were then geocoded in ArcGIS Pro as location markers for survivors in need of said services, and to reveal spatial trends. The map depicts service inequities in rural areas. Essential services--such as counseling, legal aid, and health services--are limited or nonexistent, delaying preventative and supportive measures to assist survivors on their road to recovery. This map was created to support data driven decision making in hopes of improving service availability in rural areas and strengthen operations within shelters housing survivors.
| Sara Gilbert - Midwestern State University Mapping of Camp Perkins Poster This project presents the development of a georeferenced digital map of Camp Perkins, a 400-acre property owned by the Northwest Texas Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Initiated through a collaboration between the Council and Midwestern State University, the project responds to a request for a professional, accessible map to support camp operations and programming. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), along with archival research and field-based data collection, this study integrates spatial data to document the camp’s natural features, infrastructure, and key landmarks. The resulting digital map is designed to enhance navigation, improve resource management, and support educational and recreational activities. This project highlights the application of geospatial technologies in community partnerships and demonstrates the value of GIS in supporting youth-focused outdoor environments. |
