New Montana GIS Portal
The initial release of the GIS Portal is focused on the needs of GIS professionals. For the general public, the Portal contains an on-line map viewer that anyone may use to view basic maps and air photos of any location in Montana.
“The initial data catalog includes 400 databases and over 200 sample maps from the collections of the Montana Base Map Service Center, the Montana State Library, Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks, and Flathead County,” said [manager of the Montana State Library’s GIS section Gerry] Daumiller. “During the next year, our staff will vigorously pursue other GIS data providers and help them add their data and maps to the Portal.”
