The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) has been producing wetland maps and geospatial wetland data for the United States since the mid-1970s. The focus has been on two fronts: 1) map or digital database preparation and delivery to the public, and 2) projecting and reporting on national wetland trends using a probability-based sampling design. Maps and geospatial data developed by the NWI is available online and can be downloaded by HUC 8 Watershed Boundary or by State. The data is downloaded as a .zip file that contains the following layers: wetlands polygon data, wetlands project metadata (includes image dates and project information), wetlands historic map information, riparian polygon data, riparian project metadata (includes image dates and project information), historic wetlands, historic wetlands project metadata (includes image dates and project information), and USGS HUC 8 Watershed Boundary.

The Soil Moisture/Soil Temperature (SM/ST) Pilot Project, a cooperative effort by the Resource Inventory Division and the Soil Survey Division of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, was designed to examine network communications, sensors, data collection electronics, station maintenance, data management, system interfaces, and management of a large cooperative nationwide, comprehensive soil moisture and climate information system. SCAN (Soil Climate Analysis Network) is a continuous climate monitoring program that is an outgrowth of the SM/ST Pilot Project.

Spatial data and maps are a crucial element in conservation science, and support meaningful contributions to conservation. Analyses require consistent, regional-scale spatial data and associated products. On this page, you can download the data The Nature Conservancy has used in their large-scale analyses.

The U.S. Drought Monitor, established in 1999, is a weekly map of drought conditions that is produced jointly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The U.S. Drought Monitor, a composite index that includes many indicators, is the drought map that policymakers and media use in discussions of drought and in allocating drought relief. U.S. Drought Monitor maps come out every Thursday morning at 8:30 eastern time, based on data through 7 a.m. the preceding Tuesday. The map is based on measurements of climatic, hydrologic and soil conditions as well as reported impacts and observations from more than 350 contributors around the country.

Geospatial data and services are critical elements needed to meet the mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and remote sensing are the primary elements which fall under the geospatial data and services umbrella. This site was created to enable the USFWS to be effective in managing geospatial data resources and technology to successfully deliver geospatial services in support of the Service’s mission.
