Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

The Geographic Information System and Support Services division provides technical support to the Planning & Development Services Department and geography-based analysis/maps for other city departments.

GIS is a type of computer software that produces both static and interactive maps and performs a wide range of geography-based analysis.

Overland Park participates in a county-wide GIS data sharing arrangement that is coordinated through the Johnson County Automated Information Mapping System (AIMS). This arrangement improves inter-governmental coordination and provides Overland Park staff and residents access to a richer array of content and a geographically broader scope of content than would be otherwise possible.
