What is a GIS?

A geographic information system (GIS) uses many technologies and methods to map and analyze spatial information. For cities like Shoreline, GIS provides a technology to work more efficiently for many tasks, including managing property information, linking City assets such as pipes to their work history, or mapping trends and health of our urban forests. Here is a thorough description of a GIS: Geographic Information System. Roger Tomlinson (1922-2014) is recognized as the "father of GIS."

City of Shoreline Internet Mapping:

Our new online mapping site was recently launched to reduce our costs and to provide more GIS related information to the public. Across the top and bottom of the map frame you will see widget tools that allow you to interact with the map. These include a legend, a layers list, visibility and transparency tools, the ability to draw on the map, measure distances, print a map and view the attribute table. For best results use the latest version of Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox.
