MapMaker is a web-based application that can be used to generate custom maps. The MapMaker system uses IMS (Internet Map Server) technology to deliver maps through a web browser.

Maps are interactive and can be panned, zoomed, queried, and printed according to your specifications.

MapMaker is intended for anyone with an interest in generating custom geo-referenced maps: farmers, landowners, city and county officials, utility managers, etc.

MapMaker was developed to provide all of these groups and more with easy access to geographical data compiled by natural resources districts, state and federal agencies, and other groups, without the need to purchase expensive software.

Currently, MapMaker information is available for eastern Nebraska. In the future, coverage may be expanded to include other areas of the state as well.

Within the current coverage area of the system, a variety of information is available for use in generating custom maps, including:

• Cities
• Streams
• Lakes
• Major & Minor Roadways
• Census Tracts & Blocks
• Lower Platte River Corridor Alliance Boundaries
• Natural Resources District Boundaries
• County Boundaries
• Township Boundaries
• Floodplains and Floodways

The system is continually updated as new coverages become available, so check back often. To suggest a coverage to be included in the system, e-mail mapmaker@lpnnrd.org.

The NRD MapMaker system was developed by a partnership including four NRDs and the Lower Platte River Corridor Alliance. For more information, jump to Project Partners.
