Geographic Information Systems Department

Welcome...

Welcome to the web site of the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) Geographic Information System Department. The IDL GIS site is a gateway for interactive viewing of Idaho GIS data and a service to state, federal, private and public groups or individuals. We offer a number of interactive map servers which can be used to build maps and identify map features. We hope that you find this information useful and look forward to your comments and suggestions.

Our Mission

To build and maintain Geographic Information System (GIS) capability within the Department of Lands, plat accurate land ownership information for state owned land (Idaho Code 58-119); maintain activity records for land administered by the department; provide expertise and service in fields of GIS, spatial analysis, cartography, remote sensing and aerial photography or other similar technical fields that would not otherwise be available to the department.
