Maps on the Hill to Display over 50 Exhibits


SALT LAKE CITY –  The State of Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) announced today the Maps on the Hill exhibit will be available for viewing on Monday, January 28, 2013 from 11:00am to 1:30pm in the Utah State Capitol Building Rotunda.

Maps on the Hill is a great way to learn how current mapping technology is being applied to important issues across a wide range of disciplines including land ownership, health, addressing, emergency preparedness, history and utilities.  Maps on the Hill is expected to draw over 50 map exhibits from all levels of government, private sector firms, and higher education. Utah’s elected officials and the public are invited to come learn about the various mapping projects from professionals and students.
