Overview
The City maintains a computer mapping system called GIS, Geographic
Information Systems. Simply put, a GIS combines layers of both
graphic data and informational text, otherwise known as attribute
data that can be viewed either 2 or 3-dimensionally on a map.
The
City is collecting and building layers of information to enhance
its ability to manage its infrastructure. The maps are also invaluable
planning tools, and are used by engineers and planners alike to
conceptually lay out future subdivisions, sewer line and storm drain
extensions, and land use designations. As new maps are completed
they will be displayed on this web site. Custom large scale maps can
be generated for a small fee. Electronic files are not sold or distributed.
The City uses a program called ESRI. For a full demonstration on GIS,
please visit their website at:http://www.gis.com/site/index.html.
