Online Mapping

About the DCC Geographic Information System (GIS)

Durham County Council's Geographic Information System (GIS) is an interactive mapping service which we have developed to enhance our website.

The GIS allows you to interact with both modern and historical maps of County Durham and the immediate surrounding areas. It is possible to pinpoint features on the map or search for features which are near to a particular postcode, town or street.

Should you require assistance using this system, please refer to our online help pages or contact the GIS Team for further information. To assist you in understanding the technical jargon associated with our GIS we have complied a glossary of GIS terms.
