In July 2000, MaPS, Inc. picked up the GPS road network
mapping that had been started by GeoResearch Inc. of
Billings, MT in 1997. By April 2005, MaPS, Inc.
completed Powell County’s E-911 & GPS/GIS System. MaPS,
Inc. conducted a 100% GPS field verification/data
collection effort, completing the County’s nearly 1,200
miles of road network and mapping over 3,700 structures,
including taking digital photographs of each structure
and linking them to their map location. The County went
“live” with E-911 using XTEND Communications Corp.’s
phone system and Bulberry System Inc.’s R3Dispatch
software based on MaPS, Inc.’s GIS data. Their ALI is
provided by Qwest/Intrado. MaPS, Inc. then worked with
the local wireless carriers and Intrado to implement
Phase 2 Wireless for the County. The Sheriff’s Office
recently replaced their phone system and 9-1-1
controller – switching to an Experient PSAP Controller.
MaPS, Inc. created large-scale wall maps and a detailed
emergency services atlas for the County and is also
providing ongoing consulting/tech support and specialty map
products as requested/needed. For instance, MaPS, Inc.
created detailed wall maps showing commissioner districts,
school districts, voter precincts, Senate and House
districts, sanitation districts, etc. and detailed
addressing/mailing lists based on said districts. MaPS,
Inc. also prepared a detailed Sign Survey – an atlas with
uniquely labeled intersection nodes and a correlating
database – outlining what signs were needed (public and
private roads) at over 800 intersections. MaPS, Inc. even
assisted the Sheriff’s Office to map the MT State Prison’s
infrastructure, including all the prison property’s access
roads and structures, to assist mitigation planning.
