Discover the Layers that Make Our Web GIS App So Dynamic
MapRight Provides More Than Just Surface-Level Data About Your Land
Geographic information systems (GIS) have helped us all gain a better understanding of the surface of the earth and the land we own, but important datasets are still difficult to access and make sense of. MapRight provides our users with an easy-to-use web GIS system that consolidates data sources, synthesizes and corrects them to make them easier to view and combines and organizes different types of data into a single, interactive map. It’s easy to show floodplains alongside soil types or school districts alongside property lines. Instead of wasting time and money analyzing these data sources individually, let MapRight bring them all into one place for you.
Parcels
With our Parcel layer, you can share in-depth information about each land parcel, search all parcels by APN number or landowner name, extract mailing lists from landowner addresses and more.
Water Features
Share information on several different types of water features including water wells, floodplains, wetlands, and surface water features such as rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. In Texas, you can even view major and minor aquifers.
Soil Reports
Farmers and ranchers need to know what activities a parcel of land is capable of withstanding. MapRight creates easy-to-read soil reports that you can include on any map. Share soil descriptions, classes, acreage and agricultural capabilities.
Contour Lines
Easily view and share every nook, cranny, hill and valley of a parcel of land. MapRight allows you to display the elevation and shape of the terrain along with other important attributes, giving viewers a clear picture of a landscape.
FEMA DFIRMs & LOMRs
A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is a revision made to FEMA’s digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM). In MapRight, view the most accurate flood hazard information for your property alongside other important details.
Public Lands
Across the US, but especially in western states, it’s important to know the boundaries for federally-owned and state-owned areas. In MapRight, highlight public lands such as conservation easements and military bases on your maps.
City & County Data
It’s vital that you understand how a parcel of land fits into certain local, country and state jurisdictions. MapRight lets you see how your property aligns with city limits, county lines and school districts.
Land Use
At a glance, MapRight helps you understand a property and its surrounding area. See whether a parcel is being used as residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, vacant or exempt property.
Transmission Lines
View the major transmission lines across the US. For each transmission line, see specific details such as name, owner, voltage and status.
Substations
See the location of all substations in the country, and pinpoint the substations closest to you. For each substation, view details including the name, status and minimum and maximum voltage,
Wind Farms
On MapRight, locate the approximate boundaries of permitted wind farms and all permitted wind turbine locations in the US. Pair with other layers to get a full picture of the energy infrastructure in the area.
Airports
This GIS layer displays all of the airports across the US, color coding them by type: Aerodrome, Heliport, Seaport, Glider Port, Ultra Light or Ballon Port.
Zip Code Tabulation Areas
View all zip code tabulation areas and their boundaries in the US. Quickly determine the zip code in which a parcel resides.
