List of US government free GIS data online


The US government publishes a plethora of useful, high-quality GIS data sources online.


The data includes:




  • Municipal and international boundaries

  • Classified points of interest

  • Geographic maps

  • Climate charts

  • Air transportation maps

  • ...and so much more, in the US and outside it.


Unfortunately, the data is located in dozens of different web sites, each belonging to a separate agency. This community wiki aims to list all the known official US data sources available on the web.


Answers should probably include:




  • Site name & link

  • Agency name and description

  • Coverage (US \ International)

  • Short description of available data

  • Update date (if applicable\relevant)

  • Comments about quality or experience with the data

  • One data source per answer
