Mapping software from the state website.

If anyone is interested in an interactive map of MA there is a Java script one available through the mass.gov website. You will need to download “Oliver 2.4” to run it. I’ve only played around with it for about 10 minutes, but it may have some uses as it has many layering features.

If anything one may be able to pull out some hiking areas where you live.


To download the viewer:

You launch the viewer from the MASS GIS icon in the upper left after extracting the zip file.
