GIS - Mapping

Show All Answers

1. What is GIS?

Maps are powerful communication tools people use to locate streets, addresses and destinations. The Town uses maps to represent and analyze what is happening in our community and to plan for the future. A combination of computer software, people and data sets form the Town's Geographic Information System. The Division of Innovation and Technology uses GIS to create maps of Castle Rock and to answer more complex questions such as: How steep is the slope in this area? How dense is the housing in Plum Creek? What areas are Preble's mouse habitats?

2. Can I download GIS data for my own analysis?

Yes! There are many data sets available for download through the Town's data sharing catalog. You can access this site here.

3. What data sets are maintained by the Town's GIS office?

The Town maintains a variety of data sets, including parcel, street centerline and aerial photography. You may view the data online using the interactive GIS map.

4. What Town maps are available in paper format?

You may obtain printed versions of the online PDF maps at Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock.
