GeoGM Mapper - Interactive GIS
Make your own map on line using 90+ GIS datasets from our GeoData Library. Or connect live to these 90+ datasets at nikos.alachuacounty.us from your computer or web site. The history of actions on Zoning (since '93), Zoning Variances (since '80), and Building Permits (since '79), is also integrated at a Section Township Range or Tax Parcel. For each of these actions, related commission agenda and planning staff reports are available. The GeoGM Mapper is documented with Metadata and it provides a User Guide. Many of its 90+ datasets have a regulatory authority, others are our best version of available data. For specifics on the use of each layer please refer to its documentation.

This Green Map provides access to 40+ GIS datasets on green infrastructure and green living and to important related countywide studies. Significant environmental and cultural resources are grouped in three categories:

  • bicycle/pedestrian corridors (trails, bicycle facilities, low speed roads, bus routes and bus stations, etc.)
  • conservation/recreation (preservation lands, strategic ecosystems, priority ecological areas, etc.)
  • cultural/preservation (farmer markets, community gardens, recycle centers, bookstores, thriftstores, historic structures, etc.)
