Wisconsin Internet Mapping (WiM) develops and implements web mapping applications and online data services for a variety of projects and cooperators. We focus on creating intuitive user interfaces, building powerful navigation and support tools, and utilizing innovative mapping technologies to produce interactive data portals for disseminating spatial information. Our mappers are fast, stable, and easy to navigate.
We rely on our cartographic expertise, scientific fluency, and technological ingenuity to create custom products specifically designed for our cooperators’ needs.

WiM Current Projects
 WiM partners with the EPA’s Office of Pesticides for creating Bulletins Live! A real time county -based bulletins web application for the protection of endangered species. Specialized technologies and processes for collecting pesticide use limitation data and updating digital map files are developed and enhanced. Web based mapping applications are created for the EPA as a tool to distribute pesticide information to the public. Visit: EPA Bulletins Live!

 WiM also develops and maintains a court ordered injunction mapper for EPA. The Stipulated Injunction sets forth a schedule by which EPA will review the registrations of pesticides containing any of 75 pesticide active ingredients for their potential effects to 1 or more of 11 federally-listed threatened or endangered species in 8 counties around the San Francisco Bay area of California. The mapper allows pesticide applicators to quickly view, identify and print restricted areas, active ingredients and restrictions of concern.

 The Flood Inundation Mapper is a prototype mapping tool for flood response and mitigation. The mapper shows digital geospatial flood-inundation maps of flood water extent and depth on the land surface. This real-time dynamic flood inundation mapping application reports current station conditions, will provide download data options and a print pdf tool.

Methylmercury Model Mapper
 The Methylmercury Model mapper, an assessment tool for the National Park Service (NPS), shows predicted Methylmercury levels in National Parks in the continental US and Alaska. NPS managers can view and compare predicted Methylmercury as well as Phosphorous, Sulfate and Organic Carbon levels in watersheds that lie within National Park boundaries. The mapper is a product of the USGS Mercury Research Team and CIDA, both located at the Wisconsin Water Science Center.

 The SPARROW Mapper is a tool for the regional interpretation of water-quality monitoring in the Great Lakes Watershed. The mapper shows the in-stream water-quality measurements of Phosphorus and Nitrogen in spatially referenced watersheds, using charts to show the breakdown of sources and compare levels with other units in the Great Lakes Watershed.

 The Resource areas of the Gulf of Mexico Mapper has been compiled from a variety of sources that depict the extent and location of important fish and wildlife resource areas and oil along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. To help assess the potential effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, data that intersects a one mile buffer along the shoreline is represented with additional detail.

 WiM partners with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in support of the National Wetlands Inventory. WiM develops and maintains the Wetlands Mapper, which provide the citizens of the United States and its Territories with current geospatially referenced information on the status, extent, characteristics and functions of wetlands, riparian, deepwater and related aquatic habitats in priority areas to promote the understanding and conservation of these resources.
Updates to the Wetlands Mapper are in direct response to the need to integrate digital map data with other resource information to produce timely and relevant management and decision support tools.
The Wetlands Mapper is designed to promote greater awareness of wetlands geospatial data applications and to deliver easy‐to‐use, map like views of America's wetland resources in a digital format. |

 The USGS is providing expertise, capacity and support for the implementation of Lakewide Management Plans and the associated goals, objectives and targets for each of the Great Lakes. This work will include participation in LaMP and lakewide processes, programs and projects, including the development of LaMP documents. More information about LaMP and other GLRI programs can be found at: http://cida.usgs.gov/glri/projects/accountability/management_plan.html

 As part of the larger USGS Hurricane Irene response effort, the Wisconsin Internet Mapping group (WiM) developed the Hurricane Irene Storm Surge Tracking Map to provide up-to-date information for emergency responders. During the storm event, the map linked to real-time streamflow and tidal data. Additional data, including storm surge, wave heights, and site photos, will be uploaded as post-storm conditions allow for data retrieval and processing.
