The NH GRANIT Data Mapper is a web-based mapping tool offering New Hampshire's communities, agencies and organizations, and the general public access to a comprehensive collection of geospatial data archived in GRANIT. Our hope is that the data and related tools will be utilized to inform and expand decision-making at the local, regional, and statewide levels.
The following specifications are recommended to optimize use of the NH GRANIT Data Mapper, as required by the mapping software used by the site. Users with other environments may have problems accessing the site, or may experience formatting issues.

The Mapper has been developed to support communities by providing maps and analysis typically incorporated in community master plans. It offers a significant technical resource to the many rural communities in the state with small or no planning staff. But it also offers a valuable resource to larger communities by providing the capacity to view and query data at a multi-community or regional level.
Initial funding for the NH GRANIT Data Mapper was provided by the NH GIS Conservation Collaborative (New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Pardoe Foundation, Public Service of New Hampshire, Sweet Water Trust) and the UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space.
The New Hampshire Geographically Referenced Analysis and Information Transfer System (NH GRANIT) is a cooperative project to create, maintain, and make available a statewide geographic database serving the information needs of state, regional, and local decision-makers. A collaborative effort between the University of New Hampshire and the NH Office of Energy and Planning, the core GRANIT System is housed at the UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space in Durham. It includes a geographic database, hardware and software to build, manage, and access the database, and a staff of experts knowledgeable in geographic information systems, image processing, and computer analysis. In addition to database development and maintenance, the GRANIT staff offers a range of application development, training, and related technical services to GIS users in the state and the region.
The GRANIT approach to a statewide GIS depends upon the cooperative efforts of a host of agencies, collaborating on various elements of database design and construction as well as application development. The collaboration occurs formally through the NH GIS Advisory Committee, and informally through daily interactions between the growing body of GIS users in the state and the region.
