Finding GIS Data and Metadata:
National Park Service Data Store

The NPS Data Store application manages and shares natural resource and GIS metadata and data generated by the Natural Resource and Servicewide GIS Programs of the National Park Service. To facilitate data dissemination to the public and throughout the National Park Service, the GIS Data Store application posts information to the NPS GIS Clearinghouse located in NPSFocus. The NPS Data Store is part of the NPS Metadata System and provides two functions: the GIS Metadata Database and the GIS Data Server. The GIS Metadata Database is a repository of and search engine for metadata describing natural resource and GIS data. The GIS Data Server hosts natural resource and GIS data (documented by the metadata in the GIS Metadata Database) for download.
