Amador County Sheriff Martin Ryan has announced the release of the new Amador County 2010 Road Atlas.

This road atlas was developed by Amador County Information Technology's GIS Division as part of a larger Emergency Responder Guide project and was paid for with Homeland Security grant funding. Getting an accurate, up-to-date road map of the county is difficult, at best. "Since we were developing accurate maps for our first responders, we decided that the citizens of the county should also benefit from this project," Ryan said.

Now that the county has good GIS information and is continually developing their capabilities, the new road atlas will be easy to update as changes occur.
