Geospatial Data
GIS (Geographic Information System) is a computerized application which stores map information about things such as vegetation, rivers, elevation, cities and much more. GIS technology enables us to do predictive modeling of the natural landscape, project planning, research, cartography (map making), 3D rendering of the landscapes and more.
Data, reports and maps produced through GIS are used by managers and resource specialists to make decisions about land management activities on National Forests. The National Forests of the Southwestern Region maintain and utilize GIS data for various features on the ground. Some of these datasets are made available for download by the public. The shapefile is designed to be used in association with GIS software such as ArcGIS and ArcView and as such must be downloaded and converted to be used with the GIS software.
