GIS Data Catalog
Below is a list of data available for viewing on the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program's Gulf of Maine Internet Map Server. Data have been compiled from a variety of sources and most of the data are currently available on-line for user access and downloads. Though some images have been converted to geographic for compilation within the Internet Map Server (IMS), the published images may be available in a projected coordinate system. The specific projection and datum information of the published image is noted in the data layer description. To view the Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) digital data publications list, click here.
