GIS Data

Find datasets for GIS mapping applications recommended by the library's subject specialist. It features current and historical data in the library’s collections and in public repositories.

The States

This table not only gives link to data you can download, but it also gives links to states where they have created their own mapper. You pick from the data available and map it. You then have a choice of saving the resulting map and/or printing it. Not every state has a mapper, but where they do, a link is provided.

Please note: you cannot cross state lines when using one of the mappers.
