GIS can be defined as software and hardware that stores, manipulates, analyzes, and displays spatial information. On our internet GIS pages, you will find layers of information such as forest type, streams, roads, land use types, census data, and gameland information.

Our GIS is available for a limited number of areas in Pennsylvania due to the intensity of work that is required to gather the site specific information. We will be adding new areas as our database grows. The next areas will be Nescopeck Creek Watershed and Jacob's Creek Watershed, the two current Keystone Projects.

For a GIS of almost anywhere on Earth, visit www.terraserver.com. This site will show you a satellite photograph, but not the many layers of information available for our featured areas.
