Earth Data Analysis Center (EDAC) at The University of New Mexico (UNM) develops, manages, and enhances the New Mexico Resource Geographic Information System (RGIS) Program and Clearinghouse. Nationally, NM RGIS is among the largest of state-based programs for digital geospatial data and information and continues to add to its data offerings, services, and technology.

The RGIS Program mission is to develop and expand geographic information and use of GIS technology, creating a comprehensive GIS resource for state and local governments, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses; to promote geospatial information and GIS technology as primary analytical tools for decision makers and researchers; and to provide a central Clearinghouse to avoid duplication and improve information transfer efficiency.

As a repository for digital geospatial data acquired from local and national public agencies and data created expressly for RGIS, the clearinghouse serves as a major hub in New Mexico’s network for inter-agency and intergovernmental coordination, data sharing, information transfer, and electronic communication. Data sets available for download include political and administrative boundaries, place names and locations, census data (current and historical), 30 years of digital orthophotography, 80 years of historic aerial photography, satellite imagery, elevation data, transportation data, wildfire boundaries and natural resource data.

This dataset contains a vector digital representation of all interstate highways, all US highways, most of the state highways, and some county roads in New Mexico.

The dataset represents the boundaries of all public school districts in the state of New Mexico. The source for the data layer is the New Mexico Public Education Department School District Boundary Atlas.

It is meant to serve as a baseline representation from which to make additions and improvements.

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.

This dataset provides an initial version of the generalized physical boundaries of New Mexico State Parks, in polygonal form with limited attributes, compiled using available data from a variety of sources. The boundaries have been digitized from AutoCAD drawings and/or from legal descriptions, supplemented by digital orthophotography cross-checking, and adjusted to the GCDB when possible. The dataset will be refined in the future to include other attributes and provide better accuracy.

The geologic map was created in GSMAP at Socorro, New Mexico by Orin Anderson and Glen Jones and published as the Geologic Map of New Mexico 1:500,000 in GSMAP format in 1994. This graphic file was converted to ARC/INFO format by Greb Green and GlenJones and released as the Geologic Map of New Mexico in ARC/INFO format in 1997.

This shapefile contains the boundary of the New Mexico Junior College special voting district, from the State of New Mexico, as a polygon feature. It was collected/created by the Earth Data Analysis Center, The University of New mexico (EDAC), for the New Mexico Office of the Secretary of State (NMSOS). It is part of an effort to create a GIS data repository of all voting districts in the State of New Mexico, accessible for download at http://rgis.unm.edu/rgis6/ , under RGIS > SOS Voting Districts. This data is current as of Spring 2019, and will be updated as newer data becomes available from an authoritative source.

The New Mexico Land Index is intended primarily to provide a standardized spatial index to land grant areas in the State of New Mexico and, to a lesser extent, to similarly provide a spatial index to other lands in New Mexico for which Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB) data have not yet been published and for which alternate source GCDB data are not available.

The design and implementation of the New Mexico Land Index ensures that it is compatible with the Cadastral NSDI (CADNSDI) Public Land Survey System (PLSS) data set.

The New Mexico Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) shapefile includes forty-seven boundaries which cover each SWCD throughout the State.

Data was acquired through RGIS the New Mexico Geospatial Clearinghouse at the University of New Mexico.For more information, please contact the New Mexico Department of Agriculture.Please note that NMDA has statutory responsibility for supporting SWCDs. NMDA is an authoritative source for information about all districts in the state.

This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

The once-a-decade decennial census was conducted in April 2010 by the U.S. Census Bureau. This count of every resident in the United States was mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and all households in the U.S. and individuals living in group quarters were required by law to respond to the 2010 Census questionnaire. The data collected by the decennial census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities. The questionnaire consisted of a limited number of questions but allowed for the collection of information on the number of people in the household and their relationship to the householder, an individual's age, sex, race and Hispanic ethnicity, the number of housing units and whether those units are owner- or renter-occupied, or vacant. Results for sub-state geographic areas in New Mexico were released in a series of data products. These data come from the Demographic Profile 1 (DP-1) Summary File. The geographic coverage for DP-1 SF includes the state, counties, places (both incorporated and unincorporated communities), tribal lands, school districts, census tracts, and other areas. More detailed population and housing characteristics will be released in the summer of 2011 in the Summary File 1 data product. The data in these particular RGIS Clearinghouse tables are for New Mexico and all census tracts in the state. There are two data tables. One provides total counts of housing units, ocupied housing units and vacant housing units, while the other provides counts of total housing uings along with proportions of occupied and vacant housing units. These files, along with file-specific descriptions (in Word and text formats) are available in a single zip file.
