Maps and mapping in Adur
You
can now view a variety of mapping on-line on the Adur District Council website.
You can view small diagrammatic maps of the whole district which show approximate locations of things to give you a flavour of where things are.
Or you can now use our higher resolution interactive GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping. The functionality of the system and information available will grow over the coming months and years. The GIS information can be overlaid on Ordnance Survey maps at various scales or over aerial photographs.
Other types of interactive mapping and aerial photos (for example : A to Z's, historical, route planners, etc) are also available on the web from other websites listed below.
