The Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo) provides coordination, guidance, and leadership for the state’s use of geographic information systems (GIS). It is an office within Minnesota IT Services (MNIT), the state’s IT agency.
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a collection of tools used to create, manage, map, view and analyze location-based data and information. MnGeo leads the coordination of GIS in Minnesota. See our latest news and updates.
State of Minnesota agencies use GIS for a modern government approach to inform their work and improve the lives of Minnesotans. To learn more about how MnGeo supports our partners using GIS, see our annual reports.
The Minnesota Geospatial Commons brings together users and publishers of Minnesota’s geospatial resources in one collaborative space. Researchers, cartographers, application developers, journalists, planners, and others use the Commons to access GIS data.
