A basic component of the system is digital, or computerized, maps and graphics. Through the use of intricate mapping software, the GIS can quickly produce full-color maps on a computer screen or on paper.
  These computerized maps are based on highly accurate field and satellite surveys and precision aerial photography. The maps typically show parcel boundaries, streets, buildings, utilities, topographic features, and a variety of other features normally found on city maps, plats, and plans.
