The Washington County Geographic Information System (GIS) accessible here contains the official mapping database used by all County government Offices, departments and agencies. It is maintained as a shared-use database by the County Department of Information Systems. The various mapping “layers” found within the system contain the official County Zoning Map and County Tax Map as required under Virginia law. In addition, various other layers within the system provide information concerning public and private streets, highways, railroads and trails, the approximate size and location of above ground structures and buildings, the type, size and location of underground public water and public sanitary sewer lines, corporate limits of the County’s towns and the City of Bristol, Virginia, and topographic data such as elevation contours and aquatic bodies (streams, creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes).
