MARPLOT

MARPLOT logo

MARPLOT (Mapping Application for Response, Planning, and Local Operational Tasks) is a mapping program. With MARPLOT's easy-to-use GIS interface, you can quickly create, view, and modify maps. MARPLOT is available for free, as are the maps for all 50 U.S. states.

Sample MARPLOT screenshot includes roads, railroads, rivers, towns, and icons (for a chemical facility, school, clinic, and fire station).
You can customize MARPLOT maps like this one by using the layers to select which objects and names appear.

Key Program Features

  • Add objects (as shown above) to the map
  • Customize maps by specifying which layers (such as all roads) appear and whether object names are shown
  • Perform a variety of searches with the simple, all-inclusive search mechanism
  • Link map objects to other programs, such as CAMEO and LandView
  • Easily display ALOHA threat zones

MARPLOT was developed jointly by NOAA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and it runs on both Macintosh and Windows computers.
