Geospatial Data
CAPCOG provides vector data (e.g. point, line, or polygon) as an ESRI geodatabase and an ESRI shapefile; and raster data (e.g. orthoimagery, digital elevation models, etc) as a MrSID file. NEW FEATURE! Now users with Google Earth can view CAPCOG's geospatial data by downloading KMZ files. Shapefiles and SID images may be viewed using free software such as ESRI's ArcExplorer (Version 2 for Windows) or LizardTech's ExpressView (SID images only). The data developed and/or distributed by CAPCOG is in a NAD 83, State Plane, Texas Central Zone, feet map projection and coordinate system. Refer to the metadata for information regarding a specific data layer. CAPCOG provides data to the general public under certain terms and conditions. Review our Data License for more information.
Our most requested datasets are available to the public at no charge. Simply right-click on the hyperlink for the data format of your choice and select "Save Target As...".
