FSGeodata Clearinghouse
The USDA Forest Service Geodata Clearinghouse is an online collection of digital data related to forest resources. Through the Clearinghouse you can find datasets related to forests and grasslands, including boundaries and ownership, natural resources, roads and trails, as well as datasets related to State and private forested areas, including insect and disease threat and surface water importance.
Forest Service Enterprise Data - use the interactive ArcGIS Online Data Extract Tool to access and download National Forest data available on the EDW (Enterprise Data Warehouse).
What's new?
- FSTopo data is now linked from the Maps portion of the left menu. The new FS Topo page contains links to a page about raster map images, FS Topo data available on the downloadable data page, and links to the elevation contours data for the conterminous USA from the USGS National Map Viewer.
- New National Monument boundary data – Recently, new national monuments have been designated on Forest Service lands. Boundaries of the national monuments can be found on the Downloadable data page in the dataset titled: “National Forest Lands with Nationally Designated Management or Use Limitations”. Information on how to obtain that data is found in this Frequently Asked question.
Hydrographic Data
The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) are digital geospatial datasets that map the surface water of the United States and are a part of The National Map. The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) represents the water drainage network of the United States with features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, coastline, dams, and streamgages. The NHD is the most up-to-date and comprehensive hydrography dataset for the Nation.
