For the first time since 2013, Perth County's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Team will be launching a new Perth County Road Map.
The map, which will launch this fall, features the County, municipal, and provincial road networks along with locations of important community infrastructure such as hospitals, municipal offices, libraries and more.
“These maps are a great tool for the public and for staff at each municipality across the County.” said Warden Rhonda Ehgoetz in a release. “County council is pleased that these new maps will now be able to be handed out free of charge. They will be an excellent resource for the community.”
County council moved to amend the fees and charges bylaw to remove the $5 fee that used to be charged for similar maps in the past in a decision made this summer.
“The GIS Team is proud to launch an updated version of this popular map.” said Gary White, GIS Coordinator. “Maps are an important tool for understanding the geography of the region and our department regularly receives lots of requests for maps like this.”
The GIS Team maintains datasets for the county and lower tier municipalities (North Perth, Perth South, Perth East, and West Perth) and the map is an accurate representation of the road network and geographic features of the county.
Copies of the new Perth County Road Map are available to pick up free of charge at local municipal and other locations across the County.
The locations include:
- Perth County Courthouse: 1 Huron Street, Stratford
- Municipality of North Perth: 330 Wallace Avenue North, Listowel
- Township of Perth South: 3191 Road 122, St. Pauls
- Township of Perth East: 25 Mill Street East, Milverton
- Municipality of West Perth: 160 Wellington Street, Mitchell
- Stratford-Perth Archives: 4273 Line 34, Stratford
