MMD uses a Geographic Information System (GIS). This is a computer system that can capture, store, analyze and display geographically referenced (location) information. The power of this system is its ability to draw conclusions about relationships between data that have a spatial component. GIS provides a method of displaying accurate mapping and database information to the staff and public. The USGS provides detailed information about GIS.
