The data included in the Mapper are derived from the individual county Conservation Districts. Each district is responsible for entering their respective sites and data into the login-based GIS Mapper. Therefore, the data included in this public Mapper are reported by county.

Please note that if you are a Conservation District employee with a login account, you can use the Log In ( ) button to go directly to the User page.

Getting Started

To begin using the Mapper, you need to select a county of interest. Upon starting Mapper for the first time, a message will appear on the upper right side of the map directing you to select a county. Using the “My County” drop-down list (lower left), select your county of interest. Once you have selected your county, the map will automatically zoom to your county’s extent (lower right). Once you have your county selected, you can use the Mapper’s tools to perform a variety of functions and reports.
