Powell

In July 2000, MaPS, Inc. picked up the GPS road network mapping that had been started by GeoResearch Inc. of Billings , MT.   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 entire road network (nearly 1,200 miles of roads) and mapping nearly 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. is handling the assignment of physical addresses via our toll-free addressing hotline, including mapping maintenance of new construction on a quarterly basis and maintenance of the County's MSAG via Intrado's web-based 9-1-1-Net Interface. We have conducted three annual audits of the GIS and 9-1-1 database using Intrado's 9-1-1 database records.

MaPS, Inc. created large-scale wall maps and detailed emergency services atlases 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 – atlases and a 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.
