Online GIS Data Services |
The various data layers used in the Land Mapper are available for use as online feature services. You can use these services in your own online mapping applications by referencing the FWS-managed URLs shown below.
Additionally, you can use the Add Data tool to add other online data layers to the Mapper. This can be helpful when the Mapper does not provide the necessary data layers for your particular situation. In these cases, use the Add Data tool to add your data layer(s) of interest. Layers added via this method are temporary - they are removed from the Mapper when you close your browser, refresh the page, or clear your browser cache. Below are several data layers which in the past have been suggested.
Note that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or currency of data layers that are developed, maintained, or hosted by other organizations, nor does FWS have any control over the maintenance of, or corrections to, non-FWS hosted data layers.
FWS-managed Online Data Layers
Land Status within National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska
This feature service includes all surface and subsurface land status within the external boundaries of the National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska. The land status served by this feature service is updated monthly by the USFWS Alaska Region Division of Realty.
Conservation System Unit Boundaries within Alaska
This feature service includes the boundaries of all Conservation System Units (CSU) within Alaska. It includes the boundaries of National Wildlife Refuges, National Parks, National Forests, and Designated Wilderness. The boundaries of National Wildlife Refuges, and Designated Wilderness within National Wildlife Refuges, are maintained by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and always depict the current boundary locations. Boundaries of CSUs managed by other agencies, such at the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service, are maintained and updated by those agencies. Note that these non-USFWS CSU boundaries, as depicted in the below-noted feature service, may be slightly out-of-date. Refer to the other managing agencies for details of, and access to, their most current and up-to-date digital CSU boundaries.
