Maryville, Mo. —
Anyone thinking about breaking the law in these parts, then taking advantage of the size and sparse population of Missouri's fifth-largest country in order to avoid detection or pursuit had better think twice.
The Nodaway County Sheriff's Office has a new high-tech tool to help them figure out exactly where you are.
For the past few months Midland Surveying, 501 N. Market in Maryville, has been working to modify mapping software purchased by the office of County Assessor Rex Wallace that allows deputies and county officials to pinpoint structures and identify landowners anywhere in the county with the click of a mouse.
Anyone who uses Google Earth is familiar with this kind of technology, which is based on aerial photographs taken from low-orbit satellites and airplanes. The difference here is that clicking the cursor on top of a specific parcel of land or a structure — a house, or a barn or a business — causes the owner's name, address and phone number to pop up on the screen...
I hope they make this available to the public, it sure would make finding the land owner to get permission to detect a lot easier.
