Online mapping tools and data for natural resource planning, management, and research in Minnesota.
The Interactive Map provides a basic set of GIS tools for viewing, searching, and manipulating mapped data. These tools allows users to measure, access attribute data, conduct basic summaries, query features, and view different combinations of spatial data. Information can be shared by exporting results and map images.




The Data Catalog provides access to spatial data from trusted sources. All data are available for use within the Interactive Map and most can be downloaded for external use.
