Internet Mapping Resource and Data Portal
This portal provides access to Currently Supported data downloads and Internet Mapping Services. If you plan to use bookmarks, bookmark this page rather than the individual site pages as those will likely migrate to different servers. The portal page will be the most reliable form of access to the online interactive mapping sites.
ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based, collaborative content management system for maps, apps, data, and other geographic information. The software is ready to use with nothing to install or setup. It's software delivered as a service, giving you and your team intuitive tools to create and publish maps and apps on demand. You stay in control of your data, and empower everyone with easy-to-use maps on the web. Effortlessly share your maps on blogs, web pages, and web applications, or to Facebook and Twitter.
Create a map that can be viewed in a browser, desktop or mobile device. Share it on a blog, via email, or embed it in a website. Here are some prototypes that are currently being developed for the New Mexico Geographic Alliance.

- Dona Ana County Geographic Information System
Paso Del Norte Map for Public Access (PdN Mapa) is a coalition of agencies that are responding to the need for a state of the art, trans-boundary geographical information system (GIS) in the tri-state, binational region of far-west Texas, southern New Mexico, and northern Chihuahua, Mexico.
The GIS Division of the Community & Economic Development department develops and maintains Doña Ana County's Geographic Information System (GIS). The Division maintains over one hundred layers of information (databases), develops department-specific applications, produces maps, and provides training and technical support to other County departments. All of the Division's digital data are available to the public for nominal reprographic fees.
- City of Las Cruces Geographic Information System
The City of Las Cruces GIS group uses the GIS technology in order to map how the city should respond to different events from fires to flooding. The group also focuses on creating political boundary lines, emergency routes, utilities, and much more. The data is available through the Information Systems and Services Department.
