What is GIS?

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a technology that is quickly being embraced by many levels of government to aid in managing resources. GIS allows roads, locations, boundaries, etc., to be accurately mapped, recorded, and queried. GIS also allows information about each of the mapped items to be recorded and easily maintained. Morgan County will be using GIS to create and organize information on tax parcels, taxing districts, roads, soil types, emergency response zones, etc. The GIS Department is dedicated to developing and maintaining accurate geographic data bases for Morgan County. GIS also allows data to be used in problem solving, planning and development, and for emergency services.
