Welcome to Map Delta!
Delta Township has been maintaining computer generated maps since 1985. The original goal was to create a full township parcel file. Since realizing that goal the township’s mapping system has grown into the enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) it is today, with scores of datasets assisting almost all township departments. This GIS information can be accessed via the township secure network as well as the township intranet and external internet web sites.
What is GIS?
A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.
