Geographic Information System

Geographic Information Systems, GIS, is a software program that is used to show data in relation to its location on the earth. GIS analyzes different data sets, such as wetlands, soils, waterways, parcels, roads, Census data, zoning, and political boundaries, to answer questions, solve problems, and provide support to Cumberland County and its municipalities. For example, GIS is used to determine farmland and open space preservation priority areas, critical environmental sites, locations of dangerous intersections, hurricane evacuation routes, development and population trends, among other County initiatives.

Cumberland County’s GIS is managed by the GIS Coordinator in the Department of Planning, Tourism, and Community Affairs. This Department can assist local governments by preparing maps and providing data sets and analytic services.
