About the DCC Geographic
Information System (GIS)
Durham County Council's
Geographic Information System (GIS)
is an interactive mapping
service which we have developed to enhance our website.
The GIS allows you to interact with both modern and historical maps of County
Durham and the immediate surrounding areas.
It is possible to pinpoint features
on the map or search for features which are near to a particular postcode, town
or street.
(( Launch the GIS now! ))
Should you require assistance using this system, please refer to our
T
online help pages
and
system requirements information
or
contact the GIS Team
for further information.
To
assist you in understanding the technical jargon associated with our GIS we
have complied a
T
glossary of GIS
terms
.
