FSA Aerial Photography / Farm Mapping
| The Aerial Photography Field Office, Farm Service Agency is the primary source of aerial imagery for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Over 10,000,000 images are libraried at the APFO, dating from 1955 through the present.
As part of its effort to map the nation's farms and fields, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has set out to establish the Common Land Unit (CLU) as a standardized GIS data layer that will allow mapping to be integrated easily on a nationwide basis. | | Originator: Farm Service Agency | | Last Updated: 2002-11-15 | | Contact Name: April SavageContact Agency: | | More InformationStatus Graphic 1 |

Watershed Boundaries
| Hydrologic unit boundaries define the areal extent of surface water drainage to a point. The goal of this initiative is to provide a hydrologically correct, seamless and consistent national Geographic Information System (GIS) database at a scale of 1:24,000, that has been extensively reviewed and matches the USGS topographical 7.5 minute quads. The new levels are called watershed (5th level, 10-digit) and subwatershed (6th level, 12-digit). | | Originator: Natural Resources Conservation Service | | Last Updated: 2003-11-01 | | Contact Name: Herbert AndrickContact Agency: NRCS | | More InformationStatus Graphic 1 |
