Did You Know?
Rutgers’ Grant F. Walton Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis has developed the Highlands Regional Information System (HiRIS), an interactive website of geographic information to help citizens and governments make the best land-use decisions for their communities in the Highlands region.  The system features such information as conservation values, population growth, 1972–2000 land-cover changes, and buildout scenarios from the USDA Forest Service. No specialized geographic information system software or training is required to access the data. District 25 communities in the database include Boonton, Denville, Dover, Jefferson, Mendham, Mine Hill, Morris, Morristown, Mount Arlington, Mountain Lakes, Randolph, Rockaway Borough, Rockaway Township, Roxbury, Victory Gardens, and Wharton. Morris County has the largest Highlands land area of the 12 counties identified in the New York–New Jersey Highlands Regional Assessment Update, with 32 of the county’s 39 municipalities falling within the study boundary, comprising 20 percent of its 1.4 million acres.
