These are interactive map services (WMS, WFS, ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server, etc) that can be used to display dynamic data at the local, state, national, and world level. They are just a collection of services we find useful here, and are by no means endorsed by Williamson County.
To use these services, you need GIS desktop or server software. There are free versions such as ESRI's Explorer (www.esri.com) that can read these services. Please consult your GIS software literature for instructions on how to use these services.
