The GIS division of Public Works is in its preliminary stages. Once fully established, it will be responsible for the recording of the Town’s infrastructure through a Geographical Information System (GIS). GIS enables the user to envision the geographic aspects of a body of data. Basically, it lets you query or analyze a database and receive the results in the form of some kind of map. Since many kinds of data have important geographic aspects, a GIS can have many uses: weather forecasting, sales analysis, population forecasting, land use planning, scientific investigations, resource management, and development planning.
GIS is can also be described by an example. The Town has digital maps created from aerial photography and also has information on traffic accident history. GIS software and hardware can link the map to the accident data so there would a visual presentation of the accident sites (marked by some symbol) as well as available data associated to the individual accident sites. Certain information can also be queried and displayed. For example, you could ask the program to show you the location of all DUI’s within the Town or all pedestrian involved accidents. This filtering technique will allow for improved record keeping and tools for mitigation by revealing trends or patterns.

Pertinent History
Butte County Association of Governments (BCAG) is the owner and sole-provider of the following files:
Town-wide aerial photo(s)
(Tiff and Mr.Sid format)
Town’s parcel file and associated database (ESRI)
The Town is not able to provide the public with these electronic files. BCAG charges a reasonable one-time fee or can provides individuals with a subscription plan who wish to have updated information quarterly.
The Town of Paradise is the owner and distributor of a digitized aerial saved in AutoCAD r.13 that was created in 1990. The digitized aerial files fit on a single CD and are made from approximately 150 individual files. The files come with a quick reference map for easy location and contain the following information:
Two-foot contours
Building structure outline
Tree outlines
Roads/Travelways with names
Fences
Visible utilities
You can purchase ($10.00) these files from Town Hall (5555 Skyway). To view these files you will need AutoCAD or you will need to download a free AutoCAD viewer (as read-only). Here are a few such sites to download the free viewer:
