1. A system for mapping a network, comprising:
- a computer coupled to the network and comprising a geographic information system (GIS), the GIS being configured to;
perform, by the geographic information system, processing associated with converting network line data into point data for a network;
perform, by the geographic information system, processing associated with associating the point data with cells of a grid overlaying the network;
perform, by the geographic information system, processing associated with analyzing the network by determining the relationship of the point data to the cells of the grid;
perform, by the geographic information system, processing associated with removing at least one cell from the grid; and
perform, by the geographic information system, processing associated with examining the effect on the network caused by removing the at least one cell;
perform, by the geographic information system, processing associated with creating a cell adjacency list based on which cells are adjacent to each other; and
perform, by the geographic information system, processing associated with determining disjoint paths between cells based on the cell adjacency list.

Abstract
A system for mapping a network is described, where the system comprises a computer coupled to the network and a geographic information system (GIS). The GIS may be configured to convert network line data into point data for a network; associate the point data with cells of a grid overlaying the network; and analyze the network by determining the relationship of the point data to the cells of the grid.
