What is GIS?
A Geographic Information System (GIS) allows for the visualization, interpretation and organization of geographic data. This makes GIS an invaluable tool for understanding relationships and patterns between different kinds of data that would not be readily apparent otherwise. The GIS division at the City of Golden provides quality mapping products that enable staff in all city departments to make informed decisions that benefit our community.
