Other High-Resolution Data for The National Map



Western Region Geography is partnering with other Federal agencies, State and local governments, and non-governmental groups to populate The National Map with up-to-date data coverages of areas in the Western Region. These projects are in addition to specific Web-Mapping Partnership Projects. Currently, these other high-resolution coverages include othroimagery and elevation data, but will expand as The National Map in the Western Region grows.
