Geographic Information Systems Available Data Sets
9/20/1999
|
Welcome to the Gifford Pinchot National Forest GIS Data Dictionary.
This page contains metadata, or data about data, for our spatial data
sets. The data sets are organized by theme which are shown in the table of contents
frame. For example, if you are interested in a data set that has to do with
water, just click on the water link in the table of contents. Then click on the name
of the data set of interest to view the data dictionary.
Each data dictionary will explain geographic information about the data
set, who the data steward is, how the data set was built, and other associated
information. It will also describe the database tables that are associated with the
data set. Please contact the data steward if you have questions about the content of
the data. Their phone number is included within the data dictionary.
The digital data is available on line free of charge. Just click on the
Download link that is contained within the individual data dictionary or click on the
Download Index link in the table of contents.
Many of these files are large, so please check the file size listed
before downloading. All data files have been compressed with the Unix Compress
utility. PC users can use a zip utility such as WinZip to unpack these Winzip.Com.
Unix users should use the uncompress command.
The data is packaged in the following formats:
-
Spatial Data is provided in Arc/Info export format. These
files can be used in Arc/Info, ArcView, or ArcExplorere GIS software packages.
ArcExplorer is a free spatial data viewer that can read Arc/Info data sets. There
is a free import utility that will import Arc/Info export files. (ESRI.Com ). Many other GIS and graphics software
packages have a utility to import these files.
Tabular Data is provided in ascii delimited text files. These
files are delimited with commas, and text fields are double quoted. They were built
on a PC so they have a carriage return/line feed combination at the end of each line.
Unix users should import these via a PC based program then export and transfer them
via ftp to remove the linefeed character.
You can obtain a copy of this data set on 8mm tape in unix tar format or
on CD-ROM if you contact
Irene Ward, GIS Analyst/Programmer at (360) 891-5025.
There is a $40 charge if you request the data on physical media.
