GAP maintains other data of interest, including legacy (older) data:
1. ANCILLARY DATA
Ancillary data sets such as elevation, hydrography, and forest interior data were developed to support the species modeling effort:
- Download all ancillary data for the entire U.S. (NOTE: file size is 21 Gb, data are divided up by species modeling regions. You will need 7zip or other program to decompress the file) BEGIN DOWNLOAD >>
- Explore and download REGIONAL ancillary data >>
2. REGIONAL GAP DATA
Regional datasets from prior gap analysis initiatives are available:
- Northwestern US – NW GAP Regional Website >> (includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming)
- Southwestern US – SW Regional GAP Website >> (includes Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico)
- Southeastern US – SE Regional GAP Website >> (State download pages: Alabama – Florida – Georgia – Kentucky – Mississippi – North Carolina – South Carolina – Tennessee – Virginia)
- Alaska – Alaska GAP Website >>

3. LEGACY STATE LEVEL DATA
These are the data from the original state GAP projects. These datasets consist of land cover, stewardship species distribution models, and assorted ancillary data, clipped to a state boundary. Land cover maps were compiled using Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper satellite imagery. The data are in ESRI arcgrid or shapefile format. These data should not be considered current.
