GIS Support
Support for the users of GIS is divided into the following topics: GIS Data Sources (NY, US Goverment, United Nations, Commercial)) GPS, and Remote Sensing, and Software (Home, Help files) those topics are linked to the appropiate topic areas within this page.
Data Sources
(New York, Federal Government, United Nations, Other States, Commercial)
- New YorkData Sources
- NY State GIS Clearing house (data and other information regarding GIS in NYS. Some layers require a password to download. You can obtain the College's password from... TBD.)
- Digital Orthophoto page
- Interactive Mapping Gateway (Allows graphic selection of orthophotos from NY State map)
- NY DOT quad sheets Note that USGS and NY DOT quad names are not always the same and this can cause major confusion.
- NY State GIS Clearing house (data and other information regarding GIS in NYS. Some layers require a password to download. You can obtain the College's password from... TBD.)
- Cornell U. NYS data site (CUGIR Free but often older data). Includes:
- USGS 7.5 MIN TopoMaps (2000). This data set consists of images derived from scans of U.S.G.S. 7.5 minute quadrangle maps (Digital Raster Graphics). The images form a set of 4 seamless tiles, 5,000 m on a side for each map, from which the map collar information was removed. Images are GeoTIFF files in NAD83, UTM zone 18.
- 1x2 degree quads (250k)
- Counties data.
- Large Scale Watersheds
- Statewide Data
- Plus lots of ther data
- US Government Agencies
- FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee)
- USDA Geospatial Gateway
- USGS
- USGS Store - 7.5 and 15 min maps downloads (Not Free!)
- Geodata.gov - or Geospatial one stop; Access to much of government data
- GeoCommunity site
