State unveils mapping Web site
Need to find your closest post office? How about the nearest fire station, police station, school or tag agency?
Then check out the state’s newest Web site, OK.gov’s interactive mapping system.
Users can search for those places, and more, either by county or ZIP code.
“Our goal is to offer users a fully functioning map as a one-stop resource for state, county and local data in the state of Oklahoma,” said Mark Mitchell, general manager of OK.gov. “We look forward to expanding the maps information in the future with more data and new features, so we encourage users to come back often.”
And in the same vein, don’t forget to check out our mapping services on the Right to Know page.

Very few of the most popular mapping sites, such as MapQuest and Google Maps, include information about local, county and state government government offices, especially outside metropolitan areas. It also sounds as if the public will eventually be able to see corresponding statistical information for those locations, so it’s another way to help make government more transparent. And, yes, there is a cost to transparency.
TO KC: Regarding comment on how much the mapping is costing the State of OK. This does not cost the State anything! Is part of OK.gov.
