Map Creation

Each map layer was created by extracting federal land polygon features from the individual 1:2,000,000-scale State boundary Digital Line Graph (DLG) files produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. These files were then appended into a single coverage. Individual layers (above) were extracted from this coverage. (Source: USGS).

About Quality, Accuracy and Suitability

This data may come from a variety of U.S. government and self-reporting private sources. While we try to assure the accuracy of this material, we cannot promise that it is absolutely accurate. We do promise that using the map layer will be fun, entertaining or educational. Beyond this, we make no guarantee as to its suitability for any purpose. We assume no liability or responsibility for errors or inaccuracies. Please understand that you use these map layers and data at your own risk.

A note about poverty: Poverty should never stand between a person or group in need and the knowledge, tools and expertise that will help empower them. I have kept the price of our Toxic Release Inventory 2004 maps, Federal Lands map layers and Learn2Map Tutorial and Atlas as low as possible to cover some small part of our expenses so that we can continue to bring you the free resources, tools, news and expertise that you came here for in the first place. If you truly cannot afford to purchase what you need, send me a note at mike@mapcruzin.com with the subject "free maps" and I will do my best to provide you with what you need free of charge. Also, I would love to hear more about your proposed project and possibly feature it here when the time is right.
