The Harney County GIS Program has been in place
since 1999 when the Tax Lot Layer was digitized and brought into ArcInfo.
The County worked closely with the BLM in our efforts to kick start our the
program. A joint MOU provides for the BLM and County to share data back
and forth and makes both programs more complete.
