GIS Data and Maps
The Maine DEP GIS Unit is now offering selected data, geographically referenced, from a number of the department's databases to the public via Google Earth. You will need to have Google Earth and/or the Google Earth Plugin installed to view this data. For help using Google Earth goto the Help Center.
The individual DEP Google Earth Map projects contain a number of statewide data layers. Below is a list of those layers for download individually if they are needed for other Google Earth applications. The links can also be used as Network Links in your own Google Earth projects. Occasionally, to make the kmz files smaller for better performance, the data has been generalized and/or smoothed. If you need to make detailed decisions using geospatial data please go to the Maine Office of GIS Data Catalog for the original data, downloadable in GIS format. Downloading Data: When downloadable data is available for GIS Users there are two options: Feedback: If you
would like
to comment on the use of Google Earth, provide suggestions for
improving the functionality or report problems please go to our Feedback Form. Disclaimers:
