History of GIS

Oxford County’s GIS model dates back to 1985, at which time it was called the Land Related Information System (LRIS). The LRIS integrated information such as property and infrastructure data from various government systems. The LRIS received the prestigious Exemplary Systems in Government Award from the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) in 1988. The system is now called MAP-IT and is used by the County and area municipalities today and has been expanded to support numerous business processes including administering building permits, civic addressing and Public Works - work management.
