Property Control and GIS

Property Control staff provide statewide technical assistance and analysis for real property issues related to public land acquisition, land management and boundary delineation.  

Using Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and Computer Assisted Drawing Software (CAD) this team is surveying and digitizing over 3000 miles of DNR property boundaries. 

The Land Acquisition and Planning Unit’s Geographic Information System (GIS) utilizes state of the art  mapping software in designing information systems capable of integrating, storing, editing, analyzing, sharing, and displaying geographically-referenced information about DNR lands.  In Land Acquisition and Planning, GIS is a tool that allows DNR personnel to create interactive queries, analyze the spatial information, edit data, maps, and present the results of all these operations to make the best land acquisitions and land management strategies possible.
