Information Systems / GIS - Taney County, MO

Taney County began its GIS data creation in 1999 through a cooperative agreement with the City of Branson. Since that time, our GIS has evolved into an Enterprise level GIS used by several Taney County Departments.

Taney County’s GIS Department is aiding our citizens by creating many layers of data available for public use, such as cemetery locations, road centerline files, historical sites, water test sites, commercial wastewater treatment plants, and so on. As new needs are determined, new layers are added and made available.

Our mission is accomplished in a spirit of partnership and cooperation with all Taney County Offices and Cities, as well as our local and statewide GIS community.
