Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

What is GIS? A geographic information system (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data. By analyzing spatial location and organizing layers of information, GIS creates visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. The maps made from multiple data sources are able to communicate, perform analysis, share information, and provide solutions for complex problems.

The City of Bangor's GIS team uses data to create interactive maps for facilities, historic preservation, impervious surface, parks and playgrounds, schools, streets, trails, zoning, and more.
