GIS: Geographic Information System (IT Department)

Purpose

The GIS (geographic information system) staff supports Ouray County departments by producing and maintaining GIS data, most frequently used in the production of graphics and maps (cartography).

On-Line Parcel and GIS Data

Due to budget and staffing limitations, Ouray County is unable to provide a robust on-line GIS mapping service at this time.

On-line parcel information is available on the Assessor's webpage.

A GoogleEarth-compatible Parcel layer is available for download (see below).

A draft ArcGIS web map is in development.

​PAG - Public Access Group - May 23 2012 Presentation​​​
The PAG - Public Access Group - was active from 2008 until 2012, and established a collaborative process between the County, land management agencies, interest groups and the public, to establish Public Routes and preserve access to routes and public lands within the County.

Please see the PAG Presentation for more information.

This map was a product of the collaboration, and led to the development of the 2014 Official County Road Map.

All routes shown on the PAG map are considered to be open to the public at the time of publication, and were agreed to by the County, Forest Service, BLM, State agencies, and the interest groups.
