Air Quality GIS Map Products

Overview

The National Park Service Air Resources Division uses a Geographical Information System (GIS) to produce map products that aid in the analysis and interpretation of air quality data and issues. There are two main topics of interest on this page. The first is a map of the NPS Units within nonattainment counties. A list of the park units in nonattainment counties is below the map. The second topic provides a list of the GIS Maps that are available.
