City of Winchester's GIS Division

Welcome to the City of Winchester’s GIS Division homepage.

In 2004 the GIS Division was created and housed within the Environmental Services sector of the city. The key goals of the GIS Division are to create and maintain high-quality spatial data for other City Departments and the citizens we serve. Through interactive online mapping, the GIS division also provides city information via the WORLD WIDE WEB.

The City of Winchester uses CAD software to create, design, and convert drawings to be used in GIS. For example, parcels, streets, and utility layers are created in CAD then converted to layers. GIS combines these data layers with database information to create intelligent maps.

GIS is designed to allow users to explore maps and information about the City of Winchester. Users will be able to locate information regarding utilities, parcels, zoning, streets, crime statistics, fire/police station locations, schools, and parks. An assortment of PDF maps are available for download through the "Downloads" section.

The mission of the Winchester GIS Division is to develop, manage, and maintain an accurate geographic information system to help facilitate, support, and enhance decision-making processes
in a responsive manner.
