Convert GeoTIFF to AAIGrid

In this post we are going to discuss that how can we convert GeoTIFF to AAIGrid data format.

GeoTIFF is a public domain standard which allows georeferencing information to be embedded within a TIFF file. GeoTIFF files also includes map projection, coordinate systems and datums data to establish the exact spatial reference for the file.

AAIGrid or Arc/Info ASCII Grid is supported for read and write access, including reading of georeferencing transform and some projections. The projections support is quite limited. It is normally produced with the Arc/Info ASCIIGRID command.

Conversion of GIS data like GeoTIFF to AAIGrid can be so easy with the help of the online conversion tool like MAPOG online GeoTIFF to AAIGrid Converter.

IGISMAP to Convert GeoTIFF to AAIGrid

For GeoTIFF to AAIGrid conversion, go to Converter tool, after logging in with your registered email and password from MAPOG. If you are a new user, click the Sign Up button in the Login popup and register to IGISMAP by filling the details.

There are three main steps for using GIS Converter:

  • Upload the data
  • Choose the format to which it should be converted
  • Download the converted file

Step one is to upload the GeoTIFF file which you want to convert. You can upload your file from system or select from the Recent Files.

Upload GeoTIFF

Here we have uploaded the Satellite image of the Mumbai port in GeoTIFF format collected from Google Earth Engine.

Step two is to select the output format from the dropdown for the converted file, in this case its AAIGrid. You can also set the Coordinate Reference System of your preference. As a default CRS will set to WGS 84 (World) [EPSG:4326]. Now Now Click on the Convert File.

Select AAIGrid as Output Format

After clicking the Convert File button, your GeoTIFF file will be converted to AAIGrid file after a few seconds and will be available for downloading in the Converted Files section of the dashboard.

Download AAIGrid File

Raster files are currently not available for processing in IGISMAP, thus the output AAIGrid file cannot be visualized in the map canvas. Instead it will be available for download in the Converted Files section.

Converted Files section from the dashboard contains the list of the details of all the conversion done in your account, providing both input and output data available for download their corresponding formats

If you face any problem during implementing this tutorial, please let us know. Feel free to comment in given comment box.

The Indian reservation system was created to keep Native Americans off of lands that European Americans wished to settle. The reservation system allowed indigenous people to govern themselves and to maintain some of their cultural and social traditions. The Dawes Act of 1887 destroyed the reservation system by subdividing tribal lands into individual plots.

Following classes of land reservation are established in USA

  • Indian Reservation Area
  • Alaska Native Village Statistical Areas
  • Hawaiian Home Lands
  • Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas
  • State Recognized Reservations
  • State Designated Tribal Statistical Areas
  • Tribal Designated Statistical Areas

There are 326 Indian Reservations in the United States.[1] Most of the tribal land base in the United States was set aside by the federal government as Native American Reservations. In California, about half of its reservations are called rancherías. In New Mexico, most reservations are called Pueblos. In some western states, notably Nevada, there are Native American areas called Indian colonies.

Alaska Natives previously had many small reserves scattered around Alaska; however, all but one (the Annette Island Reserve of Tsimshian) were repealed with the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971.

There are Hawaiian home land, area held in trust for Native Hawaiians by the state of Hawaii under the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921.

Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Area is a statistical entity identified and delineated by federally recognized American Indian tribes in Oklahoma as part of the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 Census and ongoing American Community Survey.

A state designated American Indian reservation is the land area designated by a state for state-recognized American Indian tribes who lack federal recognition.

A tribal designated statistical area is a statistical entity identified and delineated for the Census Bureau by a federally recognized American Indian tribe that does not currently have a federally established Indian reservation.
