What is a Geographic Information System? A geographic information system is a computer based method to create, store, display and analyze digital maps. Yakima County started using a GIS in 1991 and the Yakima County GIS Department was formed in 1997. There are now close to 200 ArcView and 10 Arc/Info users throughout Yakima County government. With the growing popularity of the internet, the GIS Department in conjunction with the Assessor's and Technology Services Departments, is now providing geographic data online!
