GIS Data List
The Delaware County Geographic Information System contains an enormous amount of information. Listed below are the most common and requested data layers. There are many more project and location-specific data sets that are available. Contact us with your specific project and data needs and we can determine if we have information that fits your requirements.

Much of our data is available through the web on the Beacon site as well as project-specific maps at http://delcogis.maps.arcgis.com.

Use of GIS data for private, non-governmental use is restricted by local ordinance, and is subject to fees. Delaware County uses ESRI-based GIS technology to store, maintain and distribute County GIS data. We have hundreds of map layers that are in various levels of maintenance. Data is available for purchase (see data order form) at a rate of $0.03/acre/layer. We are currently re-evaluating this pricing scheme in order to provide a more reasonable product at prices comparable to other local government GIS Data. Data can be delivered in various formats. Conversion to formats outside of native ESRI-based files (such as CAD) may require longer processing times.



Other sources of GIS data
There is a wealth of State-wide GIS data available for download from the Indianamap, including detailed local streets, addresses and parcels of counties participating in the IGIC/IDHS data sharing initiative. The Indianamap also provides an online interactive map that allows users to view an enormous amount of mapping data, right from your browser.
