Wow wow wow wow wow!

I have been in contact with the Naperville GIS department to request sample data files. Man, did they come through!

One CD is nothing but a huge aerial photo of the city. It is the entire city, but I can zoom in and see grills in people's back yards!

The other CD has:

water shed basins
streams
water (don't know if that means water mains or ponds, lakes, etc.)
municipal boundaries
parcels (with land use, zoning, voting districts, etc. as attribute data)
railroads
roads (including names and address ranges)
topographic data (2 foot contours!)
vegetation type

This will keep me entertained for a while.
