A Multifaceted GIS Approach: GIS in Jefferson County Open Space
John WallaceSince 1972, more than 30,000 acres of land have been purchased by the Jefferson County Open Space Department. The diversity of uses requires a variety of GIS tools and methods for planning, acquisition, development, and management. Some of the open space lands provide recreational opportunities, while others have been dedicated to conservation easements, wildlife habitat, or view protection. ArcInfo and ArcView GIS are used to integrate remotely sensed data, GPS and field survey data, existing County-wide coverages, and numerous layers and databases created in-house for mapping, analysis, planning, and management.
