Oklahoma Roads Shape Files

[Stephen Locke]

I have had complete success installing road shape files for KS, NE, MO, IA etc.
The Oklahoma roads have not been successful. The roads show up as broken artefacts. The same OK site will show KS shape files just fine but south of the state-line Oklahoma roads will not show. Any advice is appreciated. Please see photo links. Thank You!

I assume you downloaded those off of GRLevelXStuff. I was having the same problem, but I solved it. The Oklahoma shapefiles are the 2007 files I think, and are organized differently. Go to GRLevelXStuff and download the roadshapefiles2006.sty file.

This site is awesome, you dont have to load the counties, just regions of the state.

Hi Chris, I've surfed and performed searches for that style file and can't find it.
Do you have a tip on where it is located?

Here are two great shapefile sets with detailed roads for Oklahoma, complete with basic working GR STY files.

The shapefiles were obtained from http://www.ocgi.okstate.edu/zipped .

Go to Downloads->Shapefiles and it should be about the fifth file in the list. Or, in that same section, put in a title search for roadshapefiles2006.sty

I goofed with the exact file name before. There is no underscore in there. My bad.

thanks!

Chris, That fixed it! Now I'm curious about Tim's recommendation so
I'll check that out as well. You guys are great!!!
