Staff offers GIS services to the County through two major software platforms. First, the Department developed and oversees the County's online, web-based map and parcel viewer which can be found at www.jeffcountymaps.com . The system operates on ArcGIS Server platform. Numerous data layers are can be viewed including aerial imagery, Agriculture District coverage, and existing land uses. The system is integrated with the County's Real Property parcel database. Secondly, the office maintains an ArcMap GIS desktop platform in support of the digital map products required for Department programs, projects, and local community assistance.
The Planning Department's GIS staff provides a wide variety of mapping and data services to the County. The Department collects, develops, and maintains digital spatial data pertaining to the County, and presents that data to Jefferson County's municipalities, government offices, citizenry, and New York State. Common projects for municipalities include mapping zoning, comprehensive plans, school districts, economic development projects, land use, and aerial imagery. County projects include mapping housing and demographic trends, tracking and presenting New York Certified Agricultural Districts, land use mapping, flood area mapping, natural resource mapping, snowmobile trails mapping, service locator mapping, infrastructure mapping, and Census support effort. Special projects include election district and polling place mapping at the direction of the Board of Elections, maps related to planning efforts in the Fort Drum vicinity, and tourism mapping. The office also posts maps for general use or interest on the Planning Department's Resource maps page.
US Census
The Planning Department works with the US Census Bureau every ten years to prepare for the Official Census. Staff reviews and updates the Census Master Address File, reviews municipal boundaries for changes, updates the address file with new construction data, and reviews census tracts and block groups to ensure they are within the required population criteria.
