- Last month we checked out Maryland’s second largest city’s GIS resources and this month we move up the East Coast to check out the same for Worcester, Massachusetts. And on Worcester’s GIS homepage, you will find a plethora of links to themed city maps; to download GIS files as well as for custom data requests; and finally to a text-based property search.
