Powell

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.
