GIS Data Center
MARC staff maintain many GIS datasets describing boundaries, resources, and features in the Kansas City Region. The MARC GIS program provides data for public access in order to increase regional awareness on shared issues, to provide a public service, and to assist local governments and planning agencies with their own maps, analyses and decision-making processes.
Many datasets cover the 9-county region, which includes Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami and Wyandotte Counties in Kansas, and Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray Counties in Missouri. Exceptions are noted below.
MARC makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of data or maps.
