Wisconsin Specific Data Sources: |
| Land Information and Computer Graphics Facility |
The overall mission of the Land Information and Computer Graphics Facility (LICGF) is to provide research, training, and outreach in the use of land and geographic information systems (LIS/GIS). Our mission focuses on land records modernization, land and natural resource management applications, and the use of information for land-use decision-making. |

| Wisclinc |
WISCLINC is a clearinghouse effort in Wisconsin maintained by the Wisconsin State Cartographer's Office. WISCLINC is part of a network of NSDI nodes which contribute to the progress of federal initatives such as Geospatial One-Stop and The National Map. WISCLINC pulls together records of geospatial data, land records websites and statewide land information inventory survey. |

| National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse. |
Sponsored by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), the Clearinghouse
offers a collection of more than 250 spatial data servers that can be searched through a single interface based on their
descriptions or “metadata. |

| EPA’s BASINS |
BASINS is a multipurpose environmental analysis system that integrates a GIS, national watershed data, and
environmental assessment and modeling tools. The BASINS GIS data include more than 35 standard coverages, including
physical data (e.g., waterbodies, elevation, land use, soils), administrative and political data (e.g., jurisdictional boundaries),
landmarks and features (e.g., roads, dams, cities), and other monitoring or environmental information (e.g., gauge sites,
monitoring sites, point source facility locations, mine locations, Superfund sites). |

| USGS’s Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center |
EROS Data Center is a data management, systems
development, and research field center for the USGS National Mapping Division. The EROS Web site contains aerial,
topographic, elevation, satellite, and land cover data and information. |

| U.S. Census Bureau Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System |
The Census
Bureau developed the TIGER system and digital database to support its mapping needs for the Decennial Census and other
Bureau programs. |

| U.S. Department of the Interior, National Atlas of the United States, Map Layers Warehouse. |
The Atlas is a largely digital
update of a large bound collection of paper maps that was published in 1970. It provides high-quality, small-scale maps, as well
as authoritative national geospatial and geostatistical datasets. Examples of digital geospatial data are soils, county boundaries,
volcanoes, and watersheds; examples of geostatistical data are crime patterns, population distribution, and incidence of disease. |

| Watershed Characterization System |
WCS is an ArcView-based program that uses spatial and tabular data collected by EPA,
USGS, USDA-NRCS, the Census Bureau, and NOAA. The tool can quickly characterize land use, soils, and climate for
watersheds in the EPA Region 4 states. |

| EnviroMapper for Water |
EnviroMapper for Water provides a Web-based mapping connection to a wealth of water data. It can
be used to view and map data such as the designated uses assigned to local waters by state agencies, waters that are impaired
and do not support their assigned uses, beach closures, and location of dischargers. Water quality data include STORET data,
National Estuary Program (NEP) study areas, and locations of nonpoint source projects. |
