GIS data can be extracted from our General Reference Map or by visiting the GIS data download page. Click the orange bar on the right and choose the area, layers, format, and coordinate system you want (default coordinates are Ark. State Plane North). If this method does not have the specific data you need or if you have questions or problems, please contact the GIS division at gis@fayetteville-ar.gov

Currently, imagery is not available for download. The GIS Office can clip imagery to a specific area and provide it to the customer in various formats. Please contact the GIS Office at gis@fayetteville-ar.gov
- Can I get data in CAD format?
-
Yes, there is an option available in our General Reference Map for data extraction. Formats include DWG, DXF, and DGN. See previous question for more information.
- Can I download contours in CAD format and where are the elevations?
-
Contours can be "extracted" from our General Reference Map in a DWG, DXF, or DGN format. Elevations should be populated in the "Elevation" field. Contours can also be downloaded in zipped DWG files by the quarter quadrangle from our FTP Site.
- I get an error when opening a map.
-
There are a few things that can go wrong: 1. You may need to "clear the cache" of your browser. 2. Our maps should work on all browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. However, if you are having trouble, you might try a different browser. Variations in versions, compatibility modes, and other settings can cause problems. 3. Occasionally our computer that hosts the Map Services will go down; we will get them back up and running as soon as we can. Try again in 15 minutes, and if they are still down, please contact the GIS division at gis@fayetteville-ar.gov.
