<p>The Geospatial Data Gateway (GDG) provides access to a map library of over 100 high resolution vector and raster layers in the Geospatial Data Warehouse. It is the one stop source for environmental and natural resource data, available anytime, from anywhere. It allows a user to choose an area of interest, browse and select data, customize the format, then download or have it shipped on media.</p>
<p>The map layers include data on: Public Land Survey System (PLSS), Census data, demographic statistics, precipitation, temperature, disaster events, conservation easements, elevation, geographic names, geology, government units, hydrography, hydrologic units, land use and land cover, map indexes, ortho imagery, soils, topographic images, and streets and roads.</p>
<p>This service is made available through a close partnership between the three Service Center Agencies (SCA): Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Farm Service Agency (FSA), and Rural Development (RD). </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Geospatial Data Gateway.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov">https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov</a> </p><p>This is the main page for the GDG that includes several links to view, download, or order various datasets.</p>
