The New Florence Map


Faster, smarter and good looks too...

I am describing the new mapping webpage set up by Florence County GIS department.

After accepting a standard notification, you are granted access to 2008 aerial photography, updated parcel information, updated roads, zoning information and much more.

Searching for something specific? A new search tool towards the top left of the page "Search Parcels, Roads, Locations:" will make quick work of getting you to your destination.

For example, I wanted to search for the parcel number and acreage for Clemson University. I simply entered "Clemson" into the search and was returned with a list of potential candidates. Details of that list can be expanded by clicking the plus (+) to the left of each entry.

You can also zoom to any of the entries by right-mouse clicking the entry to see that option.

We have big plans for this map - imagine if you will... providing the future land use map so everyone can see what may be around the County in the future... or maybe show places where road construction will be occurring.

Other information all ready to view is zoning (the regulatory end of things that limit such uses like industry from locating next to single family residential), flood zones, Census tracts, voting precincts and much more.

Look yourself up! Find what flood prone areas are near where you live. Find out who your local representatives are. What zoning is near you (do you have zoning?), what rivers, streams and soil types are close to you.

So many things possible. What do you want to see on the map?
