Pend Oreille County GIS
The mission of Pend Oreille County GIS is to aid county services in the development and maintenance of the county's GIS database. The county utilizes the data to generate maps and perform various types of analysis.
Geographic data and maps can be downloaded from this site and/or from other specific county websites as they become available. All data are projected into NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Washington North FIPS 4601 Feet with US Survey Foot units. Currently file formats include ESRI ArcGIS shapefiles (.shp/.shx/.dbf) only. These files may be contained within WinZip compressed files (.zip) and include standard metadata and projection files. Text files (.txt) of the metadata can also be downloaded.
