CHAFFEE COUNTY’S
HERITAGE
GIS DATABASE
WILDIFE
PRODUCTION
(Elk, Bighorn) |
87 “layers” of
information
• Land ownership
• Roads, utilities
• Water resources
• Public lands
• Cultural features• Zoning |
Another example of useful data
for heritage planning is the location of historic sites. This
is a work still in progress and many more sites, especially
outside the towns, need to be added.
Remember this
is a multi-layered database where you can click on
any of these sites and have access to all its written
data sheets, a photo or any other information which
has been entered. And you can overlay this information
on any other set of data, like say zoning, subdivision
boundaries or landownership. |
