GIS
Data Portals and GIS Map & Data Resource Sites - Here
is my listing of good gis data sites I have used in the past, there are
many more digital data sites that are not shown here. Most
every U.S. county/city/town now has some sort of spatial data in their
planning, roads, or gis departments. This list just covers major sources of spatial
digital data sites which I think would have a broad appeal. If
you find a site that you think should be included, please e-mail
it to me. Also, visit my GIS jobs listing page at the bottom of
this page. info @ cccarto.com
