Background
GIS Data for Erie County
The Erie County Internet Mapping website offers a powerful “Erie County Interactive Mapping Viewer” called Erie County On-Map, allowing users to search tax parcel data, view aerial photography and Pictometry, and create custom maps. Visitors can explore a broad range of authoritative data layers, including “STREETS AND HIGHWAYS” from the NYS GIS Program Office, current tax “PARCELS” maintained by the Erie County Office of GIS, “ZIPCODES” from the U.S. Census Bureau, and key administrative boundaries such as “ERIE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS” and “ERIE COUNTY LEGISLATURE DISTRICTS.” Natural features are well represented with layers like “STREAMS” and “LAKES/PONDS” from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset, “DEC WETLANDS” regulated by NYS DEC, and the federal “NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY.” Flood risk information is provided via “FEMA PENDING FLOODPLAINS” showing 100-year flood zones, while land use and agriculture data are accessible through “AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS” and “DETAILED SOILS” from USDA NRCS SSURGO Soils. The site is designed for ease of viewing and querying data layers, offering essential geographic information tools for residents, planners, and professionals engaging with Erie County’s spatial data.
