Our Belief
Our GIS consulting business is built on a clear vision: that authoritative, well-documented, discoverable, accessible, and high-quality data is the foundation for meaningful collaboration across public, educational, and private sectors. Emphasizing data quality improvement, we believe that when data is managed well, it becomes the glue that connects partners and enables outcomes that weren’t possible before. Through effective GIS project management, we ensure that our clients can leverage this data effectively, while our training and strategizing services empower teams to utilize information to its fullest potential.

About US
Wilma Robertson, founder of Polder Mapping, is the former Geographic Information Officer (GIO) and Chief Data Officer (CDO) for Idaho. With over 25 years of GIS project management experience, she has collaborated with various state agencies to focus on data quality improvement and develop Idaho’s Enterprise Data Strategy.
As AI technologies evolve, the demand for high-quality, findable, and accessible data becomes increasingly critical. A robust data strategy necessitates not only governance policies and tools but also trust, partnerships, and dedicated people.
When public agencies join forces with universities and private industry, the true value of data is realized. Agencies gain access to academic expertise and workforce development, while private industry can connect more easily with the right government and education partners.
This is the vision Wilma has championed in state government—and one she continues to pursue by training and strategizing with others to enhance data quality, expand The Idaho Map, and foster stronger connections across organizations.
