Welcome! The GIS Center is dedicated to assisting government
agencies (especially local governments) and nonprofit organizations in
their utilization of geographic information systems (GIS) and related technologies.
We provide expertise to organizations that are initiating their own in-house
GIS operations and conduct GIS-related projects for those that have no
GIS capability of their own. Read more about us.
Our site map will help you
find your way around if you are confused. You can also use the search
form at the bottom of each page to search for particular content on
our sites.
News and Information
Using GIS to Manage Open Space
The Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) articulates a community’s vision of open space and recreation opportunities and serves as a framework for implementation. This
workshop will highlight how mapping and data analysis play an integral role in updating and completing the OSRP for both rural and
urban communities. Presenters will highlight inventory and assessment mapping applications, youth-based initiatives to collect data
for incorporation in your town or organization’s plan, and promotion using interactive web-based mapping for public participation
and enjoyment.
Presenters:
Janel Bisacquino – Director, GIS Center at Stony Brook OSRP & GIS presentation
Tarren Anderson – GIS Director, Hopeworks ‘N Camden
Wansoo Im, Ph.D. – Director, Center for Community Mapping
GIS Roundtable Discussion
Share and learn about resources to enhance your organization’s use of Geographic Information Systems and network with GIS professionals. The roundtable session will focus on future projects in

Aerial Photos on the Interactive Maps
|
We've added aerial photos as a layer
to our interactive map site. Check it out!
We've also added another new feature to the interactive
maps: the ability for you to find a location by entering a street address.
There are maps for each of the municipalities in the Millstone Watershed that
also show state plan areas, land use, critical habitat, and other
environmental information. You can zoom in on an area you want, choose which map
layers you want to see, and print it out if you like. Give it a try and let us
know what you think.
