I was recently introduced to a tool offered by Tucson’s Department of Transportation (TDOT) that I have used numerous times since: The TDOT Map Center. This website is so amazingly useful I had to share it with everyone.
First, a couple caveats. You have to use Internet Explorer to view the site and you have to install their plug-in to view the maps (free of course). After that you’re good to go!
They offer twenty mapping services, from Hydrology information to Floodplain Maps (for you Marana residents I suggest reading my old post) to HOA maps to Parking Permit maps.
After selecting a map to view you can toggle checkboxes on the left-hand side to turn on/off those options. I’ll admit, the interface isn’t as refined as I’d like it (would look much better with Flash) but who am I to complain?
Besides the map center, the TDOT website offers a multitude of resources for Tucsonans and I encourage you to explore their site when you have some freetime.

Hey Michael,
Welcome back! I see that you’ve been writing for about a month and a half now, but I was wondering where you went last year. Glad to see another Tucson RE blogger back in action.
We should definitely exchange blogroll links. Email me!
Have a good one.
