Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

The Information Technology Services Department provides GIS computerized mapping services to the City of El Segundo. GIS enables precise geospatial data about the City in mapping and information formats. 

Los Angeles County provides a significant portion of the base information that is used in the form of both maps and parcel ownership information. The City purchases aerial photographs that L.A. County has geo-referenced so that the information can be directly overlaid. Additional data is gathered from old City drawings or linked to scanned images of older drawings.

GIS information is used in many ways to help municipalities solve problems and make informed decisions. Explore the El Segundo City Map Gallery to see how GIS is used to manage online City information.
