GIS/County Mapping

Allegany County maintains a large variety of GIS data at various offices.

The Planning Office has a wide variety of data sources that it maintains including tourism data, updated streets data, streams, etc. We utilize aerial images from NYS GIS Clearinghouse for base imagery. If you have data/map/GIS needs call us at 585-268-7472 to discuss what we can do to work with you. We utilize ArcEditor from ESRI for preparing and maintaining our GIS.
