Digital Mapping Server(DMS)

Digital Mapping Server(DMS)

• DMS was initiated to address extensive GIS requirements of CD-GRASS and DMI.

• “Server” indicates access to GIS data from many sources (Federal, State, Local, etc.) NOT storage of data.

• Standard data sources (e.g. NSDI) and server protocols are key.

• Leverage from FGDC clearinghouse and framework, Open GIS Consortium programs, Digital Earth, and other GIS data sharing efforts (e.g. Geography Network).

DMC County Index DMC County Index

NGB CD TECHNOLOGIES DIGITAL MAPPING CENTER (DMC)STATE and COUNTY INDEX

DMC uses ESRI shape files for mapping. We understand that many departments won't have these files readily available, particularly small departments. We have put together packets of all the free map files we can for each county in the US. If you know of sources for more states than we have, please pass that along to us so we can update it for everyone. When you download the compressed package, it contains streets, streams, parks, municipal buildings, lakes, and boundaries. There is a readme file in the package to explain the naming conventions for the files.
