Accession Number: 01547306
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The National Tribal Geographic Information Support Center is a nonprofit organization assisting Native American tribal governments and Native American organizations to apply geographic information technology. This article describes the center and discusses a successful program that was assisted by the use of geographic information systems (GIS). In this project, the Chickasaw Nation used GIS to help create the Rising Waters Ancient Mountains Scenic Byway in Oklahoma. GIS was used to identify the route and spurs, and to document the intrinsic qualities necessary to apply for designation as a scenic byway. After scenic byway designation was gained for the route, GIS then was used to determine the signage needed along the route and the exact location of each sign.
