What is a GIS?  

GIS, which means Geographic Information System, is an encompassing way of organizing, using, and retrieving information or data which has a "locational" aspect to it.  Municipalities, Utilities, and County Governments use these systems extensively to catalogue, organize, and enhance and allow ease of use for their various databases, inventory data, and field structures (location and type), property ownership records, and zoning and planning designations.

The GIS system for the City of Huntingburg has been developed and maintained by Precision Earth Sciences, a division of the WTH Technology Group, a GIS Development and Computer Services company.
