Geographic Information Systems- Meeting your Jefferson County mapping needs
What is GIS?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an integrated collection of computer software
and data used to view and manage information about geographic places, analyze spatial
relationships, and model spatial processes. A GIS provides a framework for gathering
and organizing spatial data and related information so that it can be displayed
and analyzed. For more information on how GIS works,

The Jefferson County Geographic Information Systems Department provides both mapping
services for the county and supports the geographic information management portion
of the IT infrastructure. GIS technology is used to enhance accuracy and efficiency
in departments such as Planning and Zoning, Road and Bridge, Real Property Appraisal
and 911 Communications.
