Custom GIS Mapping
Any amount or type of data with a geospatial component can be analyzed and modeled through a Geographic Information System (GIS). When geographically-referenced data has been integrated into a geodatabase, the output of unique maps for analysis, modeling and mitigation purposes is astounding.
Midland GIS Solutions has GIS Specialists and Analysts to develop data for custom GIS layers and maps. Midland can also incorporate developed GIS data into existing programs to enhance mapping capabilities.
The data layers that can be incorporated into your GIS program are limitless and can be utilized by any level of government or private entity to determine everything from flood insurance rates and the visual effects of re-districting to conducting site selection for clean energy wind towers. The listing below is a small, yet broad vision of how far-reaching the applications of GIS data are.
A Broader Vision of GIS Applications
- Flood Data – Establish flood zone to help determine flood insurance rates.
- Site Selection for Wind Towers – Incorporate wind, road, parcel, bridge, and transmission line data.
- 911 & Emergency Management – Model “What If” scenarios, map alternate routes to medical facilities, and map the capacities & capabilities of hospitals, shelters, etc.
- Create Buffer Zones – Map sex offenders and their proximity to schools and daycares.
- Census Data - Analyze various demographics of a specific area.
- Re-Districting – Model re-districting boundaries to determine the effects on property taxes or to propose a new school or fire station location.
- Infectious Disease – Analyze the patterns and proximities of infectious disease cases to determine possible causes and to prepare for future outbreaks.
