Geospatial Data

Geospatial Data is available from the following sources:

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. You can also find downloadable map products, raster data and links to other sources of forest resource information. Geodata Clearinghouse is a single point of access for data collected and managed by the USDA Forest Service. You can find and download datasets by topic area or theme or find and use map services published by the Agency.

The USFS Open Data Portal. The U.S. Forest Service has configured this open data site to help our partners and the public discover geospatial data published by the Agency. Use it together with your data to create maps, apps and other information products.

Through the Geospatial One Stop Portal, anyone can access geospatial information from federal agencies and a growing number of state, local, tribal and private agencies through one comprehensive and comprehensible portal.

Michigan data is available on the State of Michigan website. This site serves as the state's repository of digital geographic information. The site currently contains over 60 unique statewide datasets including the state's base map (MI Geographic Framework), aerial imagery, geology, hydrography, land ownership, topography, and much more.

The USGS has The National Map, an online, interactive map service.
