Design File Overview
Important Note: In 2004, the ODOT GIS Unit migrated from Microstation version 7 (v7) to Microstation version 8 (v8) file format for our CAD-based mapping products. All downloadable Microstation files found from this page are in the version 8 (v8) format.

Naming Conventions:
City Files:
  • Files are named by the first 4 letters of the city. In cases where more than one city has the same first four letters, the first 3 and the 5th letter are used.
  • *.dgn (design file) extension denotes city maps 
  • *.bdr (border file) extension denotes the border file for each city.  These files are placed in the subdirectory called borders_citymap.
 
County Files:

  • File naming convention is based on the county name and the sheet number within that county. The county name is the first four letters of the county; the sheet number may be 1 through the number of sheets available for a given county. For example, the file name for sheet 2 of Crook County would be croo2.dgn.
  • *.dgn (design file) extension denotes county map design file
  • *.bdr (border file) extension denotes the border file for each county sheet.  These files are placed in the subdirectory called borders_comap.
 
County Map Series Notes:
  • This centerline series is arranged by county sheet number
  • The linework originated from USGS 1:100,000 dlgs.
  • The linework within urban enlargement frames on level 43 outline areas was digitized from 1:24,000 USGS quads (NAD 27). The 1:100,000 linework was then edge matched to the 1:24,000 linework at these frames. These enlargements are available in greater detail in the form of our urban enlargement series.

The ones that have "lines" or "wtext" in their title are bare-bones maps, i.e. they have either boundary lines only or lines and text only.  Linework was taken from shapefiles received from the Secretary of States Office. The lines are as of 2000.
