U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Helps you find information about maps and related data for: geology, hazards, earth resources, geophysics, geochemistry, geochronology, paleontology, and marine geology.
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability.
Online Geographical Bibliography[OSU access only]1985 to present
American Geographical Society publishes Current Geographical Publications. This is the database of the references published in CGP.
The Digital Chart of the World (DCW) is an Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) product originally developed for the US Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) using DMA data. Server is maintained by The Pennsylvania State University Libraries. The database was developed in 1991/1992 and national boundaries reflect political reality as of that time.
