County Geographic Information System (GIS) Services Addition I

Thomasville, Georgia, 21 January, 2011 – Beginning January 26, Thomas County’s GIS Department will be making additions to the current website that is labeled Citizens Mapping Access Point or CMAP. CMAP was one of the many products of an 18 month effort conducted jointly with the Southern Georgia Regional Commission in Valdosta and our in-house GIS Team.

CMAP was developed to serve the public in their daily personal and business decisions. CMAP has information that can be viewed layer by layer allowing users to customize their maps to suit their specific areas of interest. The new layers, named “Community Facilities” includes County, City and State Government Facilities, Post Offices, Libraries, Hospital, Schools including those of Higher Education, just to name a few. On certain layers there is an “ask a question” function and a “web-link” function that will connect to the selected website where possible. CMAP continues to offer a direct link to “Municode”, a listing of all county ordinances. According to Information Systems Manager Derrick Ogletree, “CMAP continues to deliver all of the county’s spatial data, and new information to citizens through their internet browser at no additional cost to them.”

When updated on January 26, CMAP will continue to be accessed at www.thomascountymaps.org/cmap or on the County website, www.thomascountyboc.org.  Click on “GIS County Maps” for the link to CMAP and a Power Point presentation.
