GIS
is an acronym for Geographic Information Systems or in terms of county government - Geographic Information Services. Most people associate GIS with maps, but there is so much more involved. Every feature on a map has information tied to it. GIS is the system that manages that data and makes it accessible to people. Please try the resources below and then use the contact information to the left if you have additional questions.
The GIS Department is working to provide more resources to public and county users. Please recognize that these links are a work in progress and will be changing over time.
