Maps & Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Since 1980, the Adirondack Park Agency has used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to provide spatial data resources to the public and support internal Agency operations. These are collections of data that are linked to geographic locations and then represented visually as maps.

The Agency's GIS services include maintaining the Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan and Adirondack Park State Land maps, managing the private land map amendment process, and providing map boundary advice to staff, partner agencies, local governments, and landowners. Internally, GIS is frequently used to inform project review and to map jurisdictional information.

The following resources are regularly maintained to ensure that the public has access to current spatial data. For questions about the APA’s GIS program, please contact us.
