GIS Services

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the best tools currently available for managing geographic information. It is estimated that about 85% of the information managed by cities and counties is geographically referenced (i.e. located on the Earth) in some way, such as the location of a building shown on a map. Examples of geographic information are addresses, parcels, school district boundaries, a road network, land use patterns, buildings, and utility locations.
