Available Data Layers

This page allows the user to select specific themes of data to download,
review the metadata and data description, and view a status map showing
the data coverage.  If you would like to view the data layers through the
Internet Map Service, click here.

How to Use This Page

1. This site works best at a resolution of 1024 x 768 or better.

2. Below are a list of categories for the available data layers in the USGS Border Environmental Health
   Initiative. Check the boxes next to the categories that you would like to view details
   about.

3. In the "Details of Selected Layers" panel, click on:

Geodatabase

Shapefile

ESRI Grid

GeoTiff

-If the word "Data" appears, the dataset is not directly downloadable from the Border Environmental Health Initiative. Instead, this link will take you to another page describing how to get to the particular layer that you are interested in.

If the dataset is directly downloadable from the Border Environmental Health Initiative, click on the link labeled with the desired data format (for example "Geodatabase"). This link will automatically start to download the data layer. Clicking on "Geodatabase" will download data as an ESRI personal geodatabase, "Shapefile" will download data as a shapefile. For Raster layers, "ESRI Grid" will download data as an ESRI Grid, and "GeoTiff" will provide data as a GeoTiff. The data will be packaged in a compressed file (*.zip), and if applicable, a layer file using symbology that is similar to the symbology viewed on the IMS will also be included.

If no links are available, but the word Data marked with an asterisk (*) is visible, data are currently unavailable for download due to copywrite restrictions. However, negotiations are underway to make these layers downloadable.

The word Data marked with a double asterisk (**) indicates data that are currently unavailable for download. As USGS completes their internal review process, the data will become available.

Metadata

- to view the layer's metadata in HTML format.

-Metadata marked with a double asterisk (**) are unavailable for viewing/download because they are still going through our internal review process.
