HVCEO's digital mapping, or geographic information system (GIS) as the technology is known, produces regional maps that meet various needs. HVCEO also assists each municipality in advancing its own digital mapping.

Note that the term GIS denotes the layering of multiple mapped variables, not only the display of property and parcel maps as the most fundamental layers.

To discuss local or regional mapping matters contact George Blake, HVCEO Geographic Information System Manager.

1. MUNICIPAL PARCEL MAPS AND GIS

Newtown, CT: Parcel maps, associated data and advanced map overlays are accessible from this Newtown web page. As the user may layer many other maps over the parcel base, the Newtown GIS is the most advanced in the region and a model for other communities.
Bethel, CT: Parcel maps and associated data are accessible from a Bethel GIS Mapping page linked to host Tighe & Bond. As the user may add a few other maps for layering over the parcel base, Bethel's map data qualifies as a first stage GIS.
