The National Geospatial Program partnership network cultivates and maintains long-term relationships with partners and develops agreements for The National Map, Geospatial One Stop, National Atlas and other initiatives that advance the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and support USGS science. Partnerships are the foundation of the National Geospatial Program because they leverage funding across organizations to provide significant cost savings, reduce redundancy in geospatial data acquisition and stewardship, and ensure availability of common base data to a broad range of users and applications. USGS Geospatial Liaisons have been established for each State to engage and support State, local, Tribal, regional, Federal and other partners in improving currentness, quality and accessibility of geospatial data for the community, The National Map and the NSDI. 

This data store provides easy short-term access to public domain datasets that are not accessible through standard USGS distribution channels. This is a service provided for the convenience of our users and is not intended as a formal distribution mechanism. Quality assurance reports and metadata may or may not be available for data contained here. Please feel free to contact the USGS Geospatial Liaison if you have any questions.
