Introduction

The Town of Barrington, NH is committed to providing access to public information on our website. We will continue to monitor this site for correctness and completeness and add additional information as it becomes available. What follows on this page is to help understand the maps and what can be done. When ready to go to the maps, please click on the link just below the main heading on this page.

What is GIS?

A geographic (or geographical) information system (GIS) that captures, stores, analyzes, manages and presents data that is associated with a geographical location.

What type of information is available?

We have a variety of different types of information from assessing and mapping data. Many town boards, committees and departments as well as the general public will find useful information here. For details on the information current available on this site, please review the section on “Map Layers” below.

Using the OnlineGIS system

When you first arrive at our “OnlineGIS” site, you will see a map of the town in the main window along with a tool bar across the top. Here you will find tools that allow you to zoom in and out, pan across the map, get information on a particular location or parcel, measure distance and area and print the map that you are viewing. You can also change the type of may displayed such as a parcel map, aerial view or relief map.

There are several feature controls in the left hand column. You can search for a map by the owner’s name, parcel ID or property address, turn map layers on and off, view details of a selected location or even zoom into an area of interest.

We encourage you to take advantage of the “Help” option when you first arrive at our “OnlineGIS” site and review the use of the tools and buttons. This will make it easier for you to navigate this new system.

Areas of Interest

Use this tool to zoom the map to a particular location such as the “Public Safety Building” or “Ayers Lake Campground.” This tool will zoom in and center on the location that you choose.
