GIS Thematic Data

Free geographic (GIS) data for any country in the world.

Vector and Raster file formats. An Urban Morphological Zone can be defined as “A set of urban areas laying less than 200m apart”.
Those urban areas are defined from land cover classes contributing to the urban tissue and function.

wide range of environmental data including a generalised rivers/streams dataset, CORINE landcover extracts, soils, historical mines.

LANDFIRE (LF), Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools, is a shared program between the wildland fire management programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and U.S. Department of the Interior, providing landscape scale geo-spatial products to support cross-boundary planning, management, and operations.

The Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) consortium is a group of federal agencies who coordinate and generate consistent and relevant land cover information at the national scale for a wide variety of environmental, land management, and modeling applications. The creation of this consortium has resulted in the mapping of the lower 48 United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico into a comprehensive land cover product termed, the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), from decadal Landsat satellite imagery and other supplementary datasets.

Eastern Division Maps and Spatial Data. Spatial data for supporting: Terrestrial; Freshwater; and Marine. Various spatial file formats and geometries. Various years.

This page provides GIS and other data developed by the Heritage Program available for download. These are usually derived data (such as spatial models) and are intended for use and analysis by those knowledgeable in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis.
