Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." -- Tobler's First Law of Geography

The purpose of this site is to provide resources and materials to the rural Illinois GIS community. The site is also how rural areas in Illinois can find out what services IIRA's GIS unit provide.

As time goes on, this site will add new material and information for GIS users in Illinois. Please feel free to browse the site and send us e-mail on any suggestions you have.

This site is maintained by the GIS unit of the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs.

For more information about IIRA's GIS programs and services contact us by e-mail or phone 800-526-9943. The IIRA GIS unit is headed by Bill Westerhold.
