Planning Department Geographical Information System (GIS)

A Geographical Information System provides a powerful way to show on a map what is present on the landscape. There are challenges in terms of accuracy, but for a general review of the many features such as roads, streams, zoning, etc. GIS is very powerful. For more accurate detail of parcel boundaries, elevation, etc. a professional survey completed by a Licensed Surveyor would be recommended.
