Tech will update current GIS layers, providing maps for several different ISRO management plans, synthesizing data gathered during natural resource and cultural resource projects, and providing a facilities map for one of the developed areas in ISRO as a pilot project. Tech will collaborate with KEWE to develop a cultural resources base map for the Quincy Hill parcel layer. In addition, Tech will provide GIS training for NMPS staff at both ISRO and KEWE.
