RMP SmartImages are rectified township map pages pieced together into a
single mosaic image creating seamless countywide coverage. The Public
Land Survey System (PLSS) is geo-referenced to USGS 1:24000 quadrangles
in State Plane NAD 83 projection. These digital files on CD-ROM are
designed to be used as a layer with Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) software or other programs that spatially reference data. Images
are produced in grayscale. Base map features include but are not
limited to land ownership, parcel boundaries, acreage, roadways,
waterways, section lines, municipal boundaries, and index to owners.
Includes a license to make unlimited reproductions for one year from
date of purchase.
No. An RMP SmartImage CD-ROM contains the same information as the plat book.
Yes. The Index to Owners is included as an Adobe® PDF File.
No. RMP does not have attribute tables at this time.
Yes. RMP does have various owner, subdivision, highway, road and small tract data available in an MS Access File format for $100.00 per county. These datasets may be helpful for some users in creating their own attribute tables.
No. RMP does not include complete Parcel ID Numbers in our plat maps. However, Lake County, IL and McHenry County, IL do contain partial PINs.
RMP SmartImages are compatible with most desktop mapping systems such as ArcView®, ArcInfo®, or MapInfo®.
Yes. These are the same thing.
Yes. Our images have what we call "positional accuracy"; that is they have map features that are related to specific
control points to assure "real world" location.
RMP SmartImage sizes range from 38 MB to 302.5 MB.
No. RMP SmartImages are produced in grayscale.
Yes. However, conversion fees do apply per county and may vary depending on the projection. Please contact our office
at 1-800-321-1627 for details.
Yes. RMP SmartImages can be saved as transparent and layered on top of or underneath other geo-referenced data to
be viewed simultaneously. However, this application is unique to the user's software.
RMP SmartImage data are edge matched within county boundaries to form seamless countywide coverage. Because of
the hand drawn cartography methods used years ago for base maps used primarily for book publishing purposes, edge
matching county boundaries to one another was not possible. The source data used to compile the base maps were not
necessarily from a consistent resource. In some counties, base map information was provided by local government. In
other counties, regional and federal government sources were used. Individual counties offered us their best available
base data at the time. Therefore, it was not possible to consistently match maps across county boundaries.
RMP's entire plat library is registered with the Library of Congress and therefore fully protected by Federal Copyright Law. A license is written permission to make unlimited reproductions (scan, view, modify, print, copy, digitally retain on an Intranet and web display) of RMP's plat data for one year from date of purchase for personal and business applications.
