Geo Information Systems personnel currently manage several enterprise scale databases including the Natural Resources Information System (NRIS) database and the Oklahoma Boll Weevil Eradication Organization's (OBWEO) database. Unlike many States that have a clearly defined State Clearinghouse, Oklahoma's repository is maintained by Geo Information Systems at the University of Oklahoma in support of the State GIS Council activities.

Numerours data layers are available for download as E00 or DXF format. Themes include DOQQ boundaries, rivers, counties, municipal boundaries, school districts, soils, and many more.
Landgrid data (township, range, section boundaries) for the state of Oklahoma are available from a database provided by Topographic Mapping Company. Data can be purchased from this database by township in either NAD27 or NAD83 datums. There is a small fee of $5 for these data.
