GIS and Mapping Initiatives


Maps

The Township is excited about the comprehensive GIS and mapping initiatives that are currently being undertaken. It is our goal to create and provide maps, not only for general information of the area, but also including specialized maps for various other outdoor activities and services. We intend to fully utilize available resources, such as provincial datasets, and high-quality landscape imagery data, to make various maps available to all residents, tourists, and others interested.

North Frontenac GIS Timeline


After much work was done to rectify and update the core data, and share this information with other outside GIS authorities, we started creating mapping tools for internal and public use. Notable public mapping products are shown on the timeline below:







What is GIS?


The traditional practice of 'mapping' is an outdated one. Creating a traditional paper map of high quality requires significant effort, and the resulting map is only good for the region it entails and for the scale in which it was created.

With the dynamic tools of today, namely the internet, smartphones, and computers, we are able to produce far superior resources of geographic information than a traditional static paper map.

In a Geographic Information System or 'GIS', we can create a resource where the user can pan through, zoom in and out, select the information to be displayed, choose their area of focus, and select items to reveal more information. Ultimately, one GIS tool can meet the demand of many different requests, and solve a vast array of inquiries.
Google Maps is among the most common and popular GIS tools.

While hardcopy paper maps are still somewhat practical today, there is a large shift occurring with geographic technology that will likely move all 'mapping' applications towards a GIS.
