What is "GIS"?

GIS stands for Geographic Information System. It is a means of displaying and analyzing data that can be referenced geographically. GIS can take data that has been stored in tables, give it geographic references, which can then be displayed graphically on a map.

How does the Knott County government use the GIS mapping?

The GIS mapping database is relied upon heavily by the County government. Data is used to increase the efficiency of emergency responses and 911 calls. GIS data is also used to aid in tourism development as well as the identification of property owners for future tourism related projects. Data is also used to identify future water line expansion projects within Knott County.

Printed Maps

There will be a charge for printing maps due to the use of supplies and the time that is involved. There are two sizes of maps for sale:

Maps are available at the E-911 Office inside the Human Services Center located at 40 Center Street in Hindman, Kentucky. Knott County maps show both road names and road numbers.
