Digital Maps & Data

Our GIS team provides mapping and analysis services to Van Buren County. We offer geographic data to help local officials with decision-making and daily operations.

The Geographic Information System (GIS) hosts digital map layers of the county. These layers include roads, lakes, rivers, land use, zoning, demographics, and more. They help create various themed maps for the county. Some maps may combine several data layers.
