Lawrence, Kan. (Nov. 21, 2017) – As the holiday season begins in earnest, Douglas County has launched a web-based mapping application that allows people to share their outdoor holiday decorations and view other displays.
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) division of Douglas County is leveraging a recent enhancement to its existing web GIS software to power this new app at no additional cost to the county.
GIS and Public Works are pleased to announce a new online resource for locating land surveys in Douglas County. The Survey Lookup web app offers an interactive way to spatially locate land surveys, section corner tie reports, and plat documents. To see if any surveys exist in a specific location, users can enter a search term such as address, place name, or PIN number or just zoom to an area of interest on the map. Icons on the map are placed in the geographic center of a surveyed area.
