Taking a Closer Look

Click a point of interest to view specifics – the name of a school, for example, shown above.

TIP: You may want to use the Map drawing tools to enhance the points of interest you’ve found on the Map. You could find condos within a 1/2 mile radius of a train station or all single family residences within a two mile radius of a particular school. To do this, draw a shape around the point of interest and perform a “shape search” on the search grid. Refer to Working with Drawing Tools for details.
