In April 2001, MaPS, Inc. was approached by Toole Co. and asked to complete the E-911 project started by Miller Mgmt./Benchmark GIS of Missoula, MT.  MaPS, Inc. subcontracted the initial GPS field work - mapping of the road network and structure locations - to Independent Inspection Co. of Havre, MT.  MaPS, Inc. followed up that preliminary mapping effort with a more in-depth field review, mapping more remote structures and private lanes/subdivisions to enable assignment of more accurate, distance-based rural addresses.  MaPS, Inc. also cleaned up the addressing in the County’s 3 incorporated communities and 6 unincorporated communities and completed the Postal Coordination and Address Notification tasks of the project, which enabled the County to go “live” with E-911 in May 2008.  MaPS, Inc. is handling the assignment of new physical addresses via our toll-free addressing hotline, including mapping maintenance of new construction on a semi-annual basis.  MaPS, Inc. also completed development of large-scale wall maps and detailed emergency services atlases for the County and will be providing ongoing consulting/tech support and specialty map products as requested/needed.  The County has a large-scale wind farm currently in development (ultimately 1,000 wind turbines over parts of Toole, Glacier and Pondera Co.’s) and MaPs, Inc. will be mapping and integrating all of the road network and turbine sites into the digital basemaps.
