Maps
Our work is inherently geographic, so we use the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for traditional mapping and analysis, including traditional paper maps and new 3-D "virtual globe" applications like Google Earth. They are invaluable tools for the protection, promotion and enhancement of our canyons and other natural open spaces.
This page is intended as a resource for community members to get a sense for the mapping and analysis capabilities that GIS can provide to community groups. You are welcome to review the examples below, then contact Will Anderson to find out how your group might be assisted. Contact Will Anderson at will@anderson-geographics.com or (541) 656-8920.
