National WetLands Inventory
Vector Series in ESRI Shape File Format
The National
Wetlands Inventory shape data is currently available for 50%
of the continental United States.
The shape data is available from ChartTiff in:
UTM, State Plane and Latitude / Longitude projections.
| Users
of National Wetlands Inventory shape data are as varied as
are the uses. Shape data is used by all levels of
government, academia, Congress, private consultants, land
developers, and conservation organizations. The public makes
extensive use of National Wetlands Inventory shape data in a
myriad of applications including planning for watershed and
drinking water supply protection; siting of transportation
corridors; construction of solid waste facilities; and
siting of schools and other municipal buildings. Resource
managers in the Service and the States are provided with
Shape data which are essential for effective habitat
management and acquisition of important wetland areas needed
to perpetuate migratory bird populations as called for in
the North American Waterfowl and Wetlands Management Plan;
for fisheries restoration; floodplain planning; and
endangered species recovery plans. Agencies from the
Department of Agriculture use the maps as a major tool in
the identification of wetlands. |
Shape data is available from ChartTiff as individual 7.5
Minute quad areas.
Each quad may contain up to three shape files:
Point, line and polygon data.
Each shape file contains a ".shp", ".shx",
".dbf" and a
".prj" file in the selected projection.
