Overview
The web map is an Internet-based Geographic Information System (GIS). A GIS combines geographic data about the community such as tax parcels, water features, and aerial photographs with tools to visualize, query, and map these features. It also provides a palate of tools that provide the ability to explore the data.
This web map has been developed with HTML and JavaScript and utilizes Esri technology to serve map features and attributes for viewing and analysis.
Drawing Times - Please note that some map layers are very large and rather complex to process and display via the Internet. Drawing time (refresh time) between processes may be slower when viewing a large number of map layers all at once, including aerial photographs.
Scale Dependent Map Layers - Some map layers will only display when the user is zoomed in to a small geographic area (less than 5-10 square miles). Tax parcels and aerial photographs are two such scale-dependent map layers. This is done to ensure speedy display of the map when panning across the map window, and to reduce map clutter.
