Connect FeatureServers to Atlas
FeatureServer URLs enable you to stream GIS layers directly into Atlas. This method is efficient, lightweight, and ensures your data is always current. Obtain the link from the Carteret County GIS portal, paste it into Atlas, and the layer loads instantly.
No downloads or manual updates are necessary. If the county updates a parcel or subdivision layer, your Atlas map reflects that change automatically.
This is ideal for planners, analysts, or anyone requiring reliable data without the hassle of managing files.
Style and Filter Live Data
Once the data is loaded in Atlas, you can do more than just view it. Style it based on attributes like land use, subdivision name, or parcel size. Use filters to highlight specific features—such as vacant lots or properties over a certain acreage.
You can also label parcels, adjust transparency, and build custom legends. This functionality helps you transform raw data into a useful map ready for presentation or sharing.
Built for Field and Office Use
Atlas operates in the browser and is compatible with desktops, tablets, and phones. Whether you're in the office or out in the field, you can open your map and access the latest data.
Need to check a subdivision boundary on-site? Want to verify a property line during an inspection? Open your map and get the information you need. No special software or file synchronization required.
Share Maps Without Extra Steps
Atlas simplifies sharing. Every map has a unique link that you can share with your team, partners, or clients. Set view or edit permissions depending on your needs.
Since your layers are connected to live FeatureServer data, everyone sees the same version. No emailing files or outdated screenshots—just accurate, up-to-date maps on demand.
Combine Public and Private Data
You can incorporate your own data as well. Add CSVs, draw project zones, or upload shapefiles. Then, combine them with live Carteret County layers—such as land cover, easements, or school locations.
This integration provides context for your work. Want to compare your site plan with real parcel lines or environmental data? Load both in the same map for a comprehensive view.
Always Up to Date
Carteret County updates its GIS data regularly, including parcel information, subdivisions, and land cover. By using FeatureServer connections, your Atlas map stays updated automatically.
No need for re-downloading or missing changes. Your maps reflect the current reality without extra effort.
Smarter Maps, Less Effort
Atlas enables you to create smart, interactive maps using live county data. No GIS background is necessary. Simply add the FeatureServer, style the layer, and share the map.
It's a faster, simpler way to utilize GIS data from Carteret County—and a more efficient way to work.
