Welcome to the Resource Management Mapping Service.
Users can quickly locate, create, and print maps of large and small areas within Illinois in a few minutes. Numerous map layers may be added to the base map to give a better idea of a specific location's resources and other important attributes.

Getting Started
Locating an area. Select one of the following:

  1. Click the Go To tab and select a Go-To method that zooms you to the general area. You can use this method to quickly zoom to a location centered at a county, a town, a PLSS legal description, a zip code, street address, or a Latitude-Longitude. Then use the Zoom tool to move in closer.
  2. Use the Zoom tool in the upper left-hand corner of the map to move in closer.

Creating a map. To develop a map of the area, use the map layer tabs.

  1. Use the "Base Layers" tab to select the one layer that you want as the background or bottom layer of your map.
  2. Use the "Vector Layers " tabs to overlay map layers (features).
  3. The "Visible Layers" tab shows the layers you have selected and can serve as a legend to help you read the map.

Printing a map. Use the Print/Save tab to reproduce your map on paper.

Advanced Mapping and Analyses
More advanced tools located on the map tool bar allow you to identify features by map layer, create buffers, and conduct analyses. Use the Help section to learn more about the site's basic and advanced tools.
