Mapping and Geographic Information Systems

The City of Davis initiated an integrated geographic information system (GIS) program in 2000 to support city projects and to provide maps and geographic information to the public. GIS is a technology and a work process to integrate spatial information with tabular data to create maps and to provide insight on trends and metrics to support the various city programs. The technology has evolved to include desktop applications for mapping as well as mobile and web-based systems. The City is currently leveraging cutting-edge technology that has become the industry standard for mapping and spatial data management. Please follow the links in the side panel to see what we’ve been working on.

The City of Davis is a member of the Yolo GIS Cooperative that includes the City of Woodland, the City of West Sacramento, County of Yolo, UC Davis, and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). The Yolo GIS Cooperative provides a means to share project costs, acquire grant funding, and leverage technical expertise between GIS staff in the various agencies.

The citywide GIS program is coordinated through the city Information Systems Division.
