Coordinate Systems

Coordinate systems serve as the framework by which geographic data are referenced to the earth's surface. As such, coordinate systems are vital to mapping, surveying, and engineering. Coordinate systems are especially important in geographic and land information systems because they provide a common reference for all information.

All of Shawano Counties GIS data is in the Shawano County Coordinate System for more information about coordinate systems please select the link below.
