The Geospatial Data Gateway or Geo-Data Gateway provides easy and consistent access to natural resource data. You can search for available data by geographic area such as county or state, use our point and click map tool to find your area of interest; using a gazetteer, or by entering latitude and longitude coordinates. You can also search for data by theme, such as digital ortho imagery, digital elevation models (DEMs), or soils.

If you do, you can either download the data directly onto your machine, pick it up via our ftp site, or order it on media such as CD. Access: http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov

To use this feature, zoom into a region of interest (at a scale of 1:35000 or larger) and click on the small Google Earth icon in the tool bar. If you have Google Earth installed, you may be prompted by the web browser software...
