New Data
The NPRA lease sale parcels are now available on SDMS. This information covers sales made in 1999, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
ACRES Reports Available
You can now view the case abstracts for parcels in the Surveyed Lands and NPRA Lease Sales layers. When you identify a parcel, a View Case Abstract link will appear in the identify results frame. Clicking on the link will open a new window with the case abstract report. From there you can view other reports from ACRES for the case.

August 16, 2007
There have been a number of recent enhancements to SDMS:
Survey Comments
Comments for survey data (lands, corners boundaries) can now be viewed. When identifying a feature with comments, a "View" link will be present below the attribute information. Clicking on the link brings up the comments.

Measurement Tool
The measurement tool now expresses direction in both bearing and azimuth

New Scales for Printing
This function creates a map at the scale you choose, centered on the current extent. When you choose a scale and generate the map, the view is zoomed appropriately. Two new scales, 1:24,000 and 1:63,360, have been added to the drop down list.

Fix for Map Printing
Previously the legend text was too big to fit within the neatlines on the map. This has been corrected.

Township Locator
You can now enter a township in the following formats:
  • T1N, R1W, SM
  • T1NR1WS
  • S001N001W
Either lower or upper case will work.

Source Name Added
Source name has been added to the following layers:
  • Surveyed Lands
  • Surveyed Corners
  • Surveyed Boundaries
This information is visible when identifying a feature from one of the layers.

HUC Added to NHD
The hydrologic unit code (HUC) has been added as an attribute to the NHD layer.
