The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) actively seeks data from and partnerships with Government agencies at all levels and other interested organizations. The GNIS is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature. The U.S. Geological Survey developed the GNIS for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public law to maintain uniform feature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names to the public. The GNIS is the official repository of domestic geographic names data; the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments of the Federal Government; and the source for applying geographic names to Federal electronic and printed products of all types. See http://geonames.usgs.gov for additional information.

The USGS Topo base map service from The National Map is a combination of contours, shaded relief, woodland and urban tint, along with vector layers, such as geographic names, governmental unit boundaries, hydrography, structures, and transportation, to provide a composite topographic base map. Data sources are the National Atlas for small scales, and The National Map for medium to large scales.

The National Atlas contributes to our knowledge of the environmental, resource, demographic, economic, social, political, and historical dimensions of American life. It includes products and services designed to stimulate children and adults to visualize and understand complex relationships between environments, places, and people. Unlike the previous Atlas, this version is largely in digital format. With a web browser and Internet connection, users are able to make their own personal maps. Multimedia and printed maps, as well as metadata and scientific articles are also available.

This digital data set describes surficial geology of the conterminous United States. The data set was generated from a U.S. Geological Survey 1:7,500,000-scale map of surficial geology published as part of the U.S. Geological Survey National Atlas map series.

This coverage is of the state boundaries of the conterminous United States. It was derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) files representing the 1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States. Boundaries United States

This map layer includes Global Map data showing ferries on major roads in the United States and Puerto Rico. The data are a modified version of the National Atlas of the United States 1:1,000,000-Scale Ferries of the United States. This is an update of the 2013 map layer.

This digital dataset describes classes of land-surface form in the conterminous United States. The source of the data is the map of land-surface form in the 1970 National Atlas of the United States, pages 62-63, which was adapted from Edwin H. Hammond, "Classes of land surface form in the forty-eight states, U.S.A," Annals of the Assoc. of Am. Geographers, v.54, no. 1, 1964, map supp. no. 1, 1:5,000,000.

This map layer includes Global Map data showing the counties and equivalent entities of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. States and the national extent may be derived from the information included in the map layer. The data are a modified version of the National Atlas of the United States 1:1,000,000-Scale County Boundaries of the United States; that data set was created by extracting county polygon features from the CENSUS 2006 TIGER/Line files produced by the U.S. Census Bureau.

This is a polygon coverage of major land uses in the United States. The source of the coverage is the map of major land uses in the National Atlas, pages 158-159, which was adapted from U.S. Department of Agriculture, "Major Land Uses in the United States," by Francis J. Marschner, revised by James R. Anderson, 1967.

The Ministry of the Environment and the Protection of the Territory financed the Experimental Institute for the Study and Defense of the Soil in Florence with an act dated 28-12-2001 for the ''Preparation of a National Atlas of areas at risk of desertification'' to the recognition scale (reference scales 1:100,000 - 1,250,000). The MATTM considers this Atlas a preparatory tool for the correct implementation of the National Plan to combat drought and desertification, adopted by the Italian State in implementation of the United Nations Convention to combat drought and desertification. The aforementioned act envisages the participation of the National Institute of Agricultural Economics in its specific areas of competence. The study area includes Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Lazio, Marche, Molise Puglia, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany, Umbria. Soil regions are the first level of the landscape hierarchy. The information layer of the pedological regions represents potentially homogeneous areas of soil evolution at the continental level, called ''soil regions''.

This map layer includes cities and towns in Oregon. These cities were clipped from a larger dataset of cities collected from the 1970 National Atlas of the United States. Where applicable, U.S. Census Bureau codes for named populated places were associated with each name to allow additional information to be attached. The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) was also used as a source for additional information. This is a revised version of the December 2003 map layer.

Contained within the 5th Edition (1978 to 1995) of the National Atlas of Canada is a plate with two maps. The first map shows coverage areas for three map series: National Topographic System, International Map of the World, and National Earth Science Series; Bathymetry sheets. Insets show appearance of Vancouver area at four scales. The second map shows coverage areas for regional base and bathymetric maps at a scale of 1: 35 000 000.

This map layer contains hydrologic unit boundaries and codes for the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was revised for inclusion in the National Atlas of the United States of America, and updated to match the streams file created by the USGS National Mapping Division (NMD) for the National Atlas of the United States of America. This is a revised version of the November 2002 map layer.
