CHP Office/Post Map

[RadioDitch]

Hey all,

Does anyone have a resource or a map that accurately displays, in detail, the boundaries of each CHP office's/post's patrol area? I'm well aware of the generic map on the CHP site, but does anyone have a detailed map or listing by milepost or exit of where the boundaries for each office/post are? Specifically interested in the Border Division and Inland Division.

Thanks!

Another member had created a KML file with a pretty accurate representation of the boundaries based on public CAD data a while back: CHP Office Map

Unfortunately the file either isn't available or the site has been shutdown. Would anyone happen to have a copy?

Again however, it is generic and not usable for developing a code plug as it lacks sufficient detail. Thanks.

Here are a series of maps through the ARCGIS mapping system.

If you have some time, open these up in the mapviewer, click the "add layers" button, and search through the "ArcGIS Online" database (not the Living Atlas) for more CHP related maps. Use the search terms of "CHP" and "California Highway Patrol" and any other terms you can think of that relate to CHP. There are plenty more maps available for city, state, county maps, law enforcement, fire maps, etc. etc. etc.....

Note that this map has 855 Rancho Cucamonga as the Arrowhead office area and 865 Arrowhead as the Rancho Cucamonga office area. I don't know if there are other problems.

If you can find an old copy of Gene Hughes scanner book, there used to be a real good map of frwys based on each office, in SoCal.

The old URL for my old map was hosted on a server in my garage that was destroyed in the CZU Lightning Complex fires. I finally had some time today and revamped the whole map using a new source of CHP office boundary information and corrected some of the known errors in the previous map. Now available at: http://fcc.matthew.at/CHP.kml

I don't know who created these maps, but THANK YOU! This is exactly what I was looking for. I would love to learn how to create maps like this. I'll be looking for more info on how to do that. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm not a GIS guy, so I have a lot to learn ,but would be eager to do so.

I used these maps to setup a location-basd CHP faves list for my SDS100 in Sentinel. I didn't make it my life's work, but it's as good as I could do with drawing rectangles over areas that aren't rectangular. I'd be happy to post the .hpe file somewhere, if anyone would like to use it.

I posted this in a different section, but it seems more appropriate here. I have also made some updates. The earlier post goes like this here...

This is a pretty thorough list of the California Highway Patrol. It's all off the radio areas and divisions for the entire state of California, with some pretty tight geo rectangles aroud each. I hope someone can benefit from my work and that of whomever created the map I used to do the work.

California Highway Patrol - Statewide [Geo] (.hpe format)

Also, I don't want to see this turn into a debate over the best way to setup a faves list. My needs are very specific, so I set it up the way I need it. Feel free to modify the list to suit your specific needs.

What kind of App is a .hpe format?

OK. I thought that was a map file like Google Earth or something.

That's usually a KML file.
