Map Milwaukee

What's New? 

Police Districts - The Milwaukee Police Department implemented new police districts boundaries on July 12, 2009.  These new boundaries are now visible on Map Milwaukee.  7/2009

Resize Your Browser -  Now when you resize your browser window, you don't have to worry about Map Milwaukee "restarting" on you.  If you resize your browser window, all layer selections, zoom extents, and selections will be preserved. 9/2008

Layer List Folders - Map Milwaukee has more than 50 layers availble to you.  This makes the layer list rather long, and potentially difficult to manage.  In an effort to make the layer list more manageable to our users, we have made some of the organizational folders in the layer list closed by default.  All layers are still available.  If the layer you are looking for is not visible to you in the layer list, simply click on one of the organizational folders to reveal its associated layers.  For example, if you are looking for the orthophotos, click on the yellow folder next to "Base Maps" to reveal five layers, including the orthophotos.  Additionally, some folders contain subfolders.  This is to further organize and group the layers in order to help users find what they are looking for.  All folders can be opened or closed at any time without changing the map.  8/2008

Parcels - Milwaukee's GIS section has been implementing a major upgrade to our parcel update and maintenance procedures.  Though not yet complete, Map Milwaukee's parcel layers are now more current than they ever have been before.  Updates are being made every couple weeks.  This upgrade also allows us to provide regular and accurate updates to other layers such as Zoning and Historic Areas.  Check the "Metadata" page (click on button at top of Map Milwaukee) for upate dates. 7/2008
