The Indiana Map
IndianaMap.org is the public source for map data in Indiana. It includes the information people need most in a format that is accessible to both the general public and expert geographic information systems (GIS) users.
The IndianaMap is a portfolio of projects that involve the collaborative efforts of federal, state, and local partners. The purpose of these efforts is to acquire, improve, and deliver a wide variety of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data for Indiana.
The IndianaMap Viewer is an interactive map that can be used to view and query more than 220 layers of GIS data through the web. The available data include aerial photographs, land cover, reference layers, and layers related to infrastructure, demography, environment, hydrology, and geology.
