Pacific Southwest Region geospatial datasets are available for download from this website. These datasets are zipped personal or file geodatabases* created using ESRI ArcGIS 10.x software. Additional descriptive information, as well as data steward contact information for each geodatabase, can be found under the metadata link. These metadata files meet the Federal Geographic Data Committee standards for structure and content.

Many other Forest Service geospatial datasets can be downloaded from the FSGeodata Clearinghouse, where datasets are available on a national level, covering all forests in the country. Datasets which are available in the FSGeodata Clearinghouse are not available here on the Pacific Southwest Region site.
