2023 City/County PDFs for Vicinity Maps

City and County PDFs for 2023 that contain the layers needed to adjust the project location map are stored in \\gis_resources\6211shar\ Atlas_CAD_2023, for ODOT users only. Copy and paste the URL into File Explorer.

Sub-folders with "Reduced" in the name contain smaller file-size maps with the same content which may be easier to use. The workflow is explained in Title Sheet Creation.pdf.
