Environmental Inventory of Upper Dublin

Official Project Title:
GIS-Based Environmental Resources Inventory for Upper Dublin Township

Completed August 2007

The CSC developed a GIS based environmental resources inventory of Upper Dublin Township, Montgomery County, PA. The inventory primarily included elevation data and natural and built environment data. The final output of the study included a series of GIS data, metadata, a technical report, and a series of GIS maps to be published in the township's web site.
