How to use the map of Medio Atrato

Locate an area and understand its identifiers

Open the prepared POT query, explore the complete polygons and select a result to read its description, code and sources. “Query POT here” compares the point against enabled families; a match may touch a boundary and does not establish permissions. Compatible, conditional and prohibited uses are unreported. An empty result does not establish an absence of rules. Consult municipal sources before making a decision.

Municipality code 27425, department Chocó. POT: original OBJECTID, Mp_Codigo and attributes; unreported categories and descriptions remain null. Boundary: original MpCodigo, MpNombre, MpNorma and Restriccion; MpNorma is not a POT act. IGAC states that the boundary is unsuitable for exact location, areas or distances. Mapping date and current legal validity are unverified. These are complete families retrieved from the service, without certifying complete territorial coverage or current legal validity. Compatible, conditional and prohibited uses are unreported; nulls are preserved and mean neither permission nor prohibition. Catalog publication (2025-11-28) and input date (2025-02-20) are not polygon adoption or update dates. Instrument status and adoption dates have not been verified for this integration. The rural request returned zero records; this does not establish an absence of rural planning.

Use Explore to search and choose queries, Layers to enable and inspect sources, and Thematic maps to compare categories. Under Layers, “Tools and planning register” opens Tools; “Inspect and export results” opens received attributes and results.

In Tools, “Reported planning instruments” lets you inspect municipal acts and their statuses in the national register. Select “Look up national register” to load this city’s records. Instrument status and long-term validity are separate fields; the register may be outdated and does not certify parcel rules. Links open the IGAC source, ColombiaOT and the source linked for this municipality; they do not open an act PDF directly.

1. Open the example to load the first planning layer at this location. Enter these coordinates in search to return to the area.
2. Inspect the layer categories and select a feature to read its attributes. Zoom in if the layer indicates a minimum query scale.
3. Enable another layer in the theme to compare boundaries. Map overlap does not constitute an official planning opinion for a parcel.

Interpret results before sharing

1. Read each layer and record’s source and date. Retrieval time shows when the response was received; it does not establish a data update or legal validity.
2. Check statuses: an unavailable source or a query without results does not establish that no conditions apply. If a partial-result notice appears, zoom in and repeat the query within a smaller area.
3. Filters, thematic maps and statistics describe received records. Do not add overlapping polygons or turn a partial count into a city total.
4. Share the public view or export results with their source and date. Measurements are approximate; imported files remain in your browser and are excluded from shared links.
