Bad River GIS & Map Services Program

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Map Services Program provides services and technology to the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for mapping, GIS and Global Positioning Sysytem (GPS) training, data collection and organization, online and printed map requests. The resources within the Bad River Reservation are some of the most highly valued resources to tribal members, for cultural, social, subsistence, and recreational purposes. To ensure the secure future for the Tribal resources—cultural, political, and natural—we document and describe all of the natural resources, infrastructure locations, and political boundaries.
