GIS & Mapping

GIS & Mapping

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data. GIS is rooted in the science of geography to integrate many types of data into analyzing spatial location and organizing informational layers to produce maps, 3-D scenes, and infographics. MCCOG uses this unique capability to manage most data for Madison County and other communities within their Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). MCCOG also has the ability to provide advanced services in coordination with GIS technologies for deepening the understandings of patterns and relationships that help community, organization, and business leaders make smarter decisions as well as improve local residents’ quality of life.
  • How Does GIS Work?

    GIS technology applies geographic science with tools for understanding and collaboration. It helps people reach a common goal: to gain actionable intelligence from all types of data.


    Maps

    Maps are the geographic container for desired data layers and analytics. GIS maps are easily shared and embedded in apps, which makes them accessible to virtually everyone everywhere.


    Data

    GIS integrates many kinds of data layers using spatial location, because most data has a geographic component. GIS data includes imagery, features, and base maps linked to spreadsheets and tables.


    Analysis

    Spatial analysis lends new perspectives to decision makers by allowing for evaluations of capabilities, estimations to make predictions, interpretations that lead to increased understandings, and much more.


    Apps

    Apps provide focused user experiences for completing work and bringing GIS to life. GIS apps work virtually everywhere: on mobile phones, tablets, web browsers, and desktops.
