Welcome to the Cherokee County Mapping/ GIS Department.  GIS is an acronym for Geographic Information System. A GIS is an organized collection of computer hardware, software, personnel, and geographic data that is utilized to create, maintain, store, analyze, and display geographically referenced information. Many of the County's departments and officials, and other public agencies as well as the private sector are now using the Mapping /GIS Department to help them to turn raw data into spatially referenced information.  This in turn, allows the county and the public to better organize workflow, identify relationships, patterns, and trends occurring in our county; and to provide solutions to everyday problems.
