KGIS has published various PDF maps of Knox County. Examples are: City Council, County Commission, School Board, Zip Codes, etc.. Now users can click on the links and print or save the pdf maps on their home computer. Click on the map image to the right or follow the link to the Products tab and then click on PDF Maps of Knox County.

Google and Bing are becoming indispensable to map users. Some folks may not realize that KGIS's newest mapping application, KGIS Lite, (which has now been replaced with KGIS Maps) allows for quick access to these invaluable sites. In other words, while clicking on the KGIS map for such things as Property or Owner information, one simply has to choose the "Picture Viewer" tool in order to display Google's Street View or Bing's Bird's Eye View maps of the same area. Click here for a sample of what it looks like, or here for an introduction to the new site, and feel free to email us on what you think.
