Historic and Contemporary Maps of Nevada and Its Borders Digital collection of historic topographical maps,  historic geologic and mining maps, and other historic maps, dating from 1750 to 1968.
	Nevada Map Atlas Zip files linked from the index  map contain georeferenced TIF and SID files for all 30 minute quads contained in the Atlas, as well as metadata for the project.  The files were generously provided by the Nevada Department of Transportation.  These same maps are available in pdf format from the NDOT.
	Digital Orthophoto Quads Digital orthophotos are photographic images that combine the image characteristics of an aerial photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. Orthophotos may serve as  base maps onto which other map information can be overlaid.
	Washoe County Soil Surveys A soil survey includes soil maps and descriptions of each type of soil in the county, as well as interpretations of the soil’s characteristics and potential for community planning, agricultural land management, engineering and wildlife management.
	National Agriculture Imagery Project (NAIP)   The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) acquires imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availability of digital orthophotography within a year of acquisition. Metadata record (having the extension .met) are included with each SID image.  All Geotiff and SID images are NAD83 UTM Zone 11.
	Color Infrared NAIP   NAIP images described above reprocessed in color infrared.  All Geotiff and SID images are NAD83 UTM Zone 11.
	Aster Image Files ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) is an imaging instrument that is flying on Terra, a satellite launched in December 1999 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS).
	USGS Topographic Maps of Nevada and Bordering Areas Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs) are scanned images (minimum resolution of 250 dots per inch) of USGS standard series topographic maps, including all collar information.
	Landsat Thematic Mapper Data for the Great Basin Digital reflectance band data from LandSat 4,5, and 7including false color composite of each path/row scene.
	National Elevation Dataset (NED) - Nevada National Elevation Dataset (NED) coverages for 1X1 degree blocks.  Developed by the USGS to create an improved, seamless map of the United States from DEM data.
	Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) - Nevada Digital files consisting of terrain elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced horizontal intervals.
	Geologic Maps USGS Geologic Maps Selected USGS Geologic Maps donated to UNR by AngloGold. NBMG Geologic Maps Geologic maps of standard USGS 7.5' quads created and donated by the NBMG.
	SPOT Imagery This contains 10 Meter Resolution Digital Orthorectified Imagery (DOI-10) derived from data obtained from the SPOT Image Corporation under an unrestricted license.
	Great Basin Geoscience Data Base A compilation of digital geospatial data for the Great Basin including geology, geochemistry, thematic coverages, geophysics and base maps. Data was provided by the USGS DDS-41:Great Basin Geoscience Data Base CD-ROM, Vol. 1.   All images saved as ArcView shapefiles.
	Nevada Land Cover Data Nevada Land Cover Data available for download as an ArcView project.  You must have the Spatial Analyst extension in order to open this data set.

The Data Warehouse provides links to digital spatial data covering Nevada, the Great Basin, and beyond. We have compiled spatial data from sources such as the U.S. Geological Survey and have processed it  into user-friendly formats where possible.

The University of Nevada, Reno, DataWorks is developing this site to provide students, researchers, and the general public access to public domain spatial data in easy-to-use formats.
