The Seward County GIS Department is responsible for maintaining current data layers, instructing other departments on how to collect information they want put into a layer, and developing new layers in which spatial data is provided.

GIS staff may also assist in printing maps for both public, city, and county use.

Status of the GIS Department
The GIS Department is fairly new to Seward County. Although GIS did not become its own official department until January 2009, data collection and production started in mid-2007.

Currently, a timeline is in place which shows how the County hopes to obtain all of its base layers.
