Virtual City Project

To accomplish a detailed 2D map of Westbrook streets/buildings, an address index, neighborhood codes, and ownership list, you will need to combine city GIS data, assessing data, and your own schema/processing workflow.

AxisGIS - WestbrookME 

Step 1: Gather base GIS data

• Access Westbrook’s GIS Hub (AxisGIS / ArcGIS Hub) to download parcel, building footprint, and street centerline layers, plus any existing neighborhood or zoning layers.westbrookmaine+2
  
  

• Download or reference existing tax maps and the citywide street map/street index as a cross-check for street names and parcel layouts.westbrookmaine+1
  
  

• If statewide/context layers are needed, supplement with Maine Office of GIS and USM GIS resource datasets.[usm.maine]​
  
  

Step 2: Build the 2D map

• In a GIS tool (ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, or an online map app), load streets, parcels, and building footprints and set a consistent projected coordinate system for Westbrook.hub.arcgis+1
  
  

• Style layers (e.g., streets by class, buildings as simple polygons, parcels with subtle outlines) to create a clear base 2D reference map.maps-westbrookmaine.hub.arcgis+1
  
  

Step 3: Create address index per building

• Use the assessing/online property database and parcel GIS layer to associate each parcel polygon with its situs (street) address and any unit identifiers.gis.vgsi+2
  
  

• Spatially join building footprints to parcels so each building inherits parcel ID and address, then export a table of Building_ID, Parcel_ID, Address, and coordinates as your address index.gis.vgsi+1
  
  

Step 4: Define and code neighborhoods

• Review any existing city-defined neighborhoods, zoning districts, or planning areas in the GIS hub; if present, adopt or adapt those polygon boundaries.westbrookmaine+2
  
  

• If no suitable layer exists, delineate custom neighborhood polygons on top of the street and parcel base, then assign each polygon a unique Neighborhood_Code and name.hub.arcgis+1
  
  

Step 5: Compile ownership information

• Use Westbrook’s Vision Government Solutions assessing database to export parcel owner names, mailing addresses, and land/building details by parcel ID.vgsi+2
  
  

• If legal ownership detail beyond assessing is required, cross-reference parcel IDs and book/page details with Cumberland County Registry of Deeds records.[maineregistryofdeeds]​
  
  

Step 6: Integrate into a single dataset

• Join the parcel ownership table from the assessing database to the parcel GIS layer on Parcel_ID, then propagate key owner fields down to the building-level table created earlier.maps-westbrookmaine.hub.arcgis+1
  
  

• Ensure your final master table contains at least: Building_ID, Parcel_ID, Address, Neighborhood_Code, Owner_Name, Owner_Mailing_Address, and any desired classification fields.westbrookmaine+2
  
  

Step 7: Deliverables and sharing

• Export:
  
  

  • A layered 2D map file (e.g., GeoPackage, File GDB, or web map) with streets, parcels, buildings, and neighborhoods.hub.arcgis+1
    
    

  • A CSV or database table serving as the index of all buildings, addresses, neighborhoods, and owners, aligned to your map’s IDs.gis.vgsi+1
    
    

• If desired, publish a web map (via ArcGIS Online, Hub, or similar) with appropriate privacy filters for ownership data, following city and state data-sharing policies.westbrookmaine+2
  
  

If you share which tools you are comfortable with (QGIS, ArcGIS, spreadsheet only, etc.), more concrete step-by-step instructions can be outlined for your exact workflow.
