revamped, and GIS data in its new projection and format have not been<br>
placed on the revamped web site yet. Current data requests are being<br>
filled by placing ArcInfo .e00 interchange files or Zipped shapefiles on<br>
our anonymous FTP site. I would need to know specifically which data you<br>
are requesting. Some of our datasets such as roads and trails are currently<br>
under major revisions.<br>
<br>
The website you mention below does include base map data for published<br>
Forest Service 1:24000 maps or Alaska 1:63360 maps. This includes all<br>
Forests, all States. The following excerpt is from a link on the FSGeodata<br>
Clearinghouse homepage (<a href="http://199.141.1.21/clearinghouse/index.html" target="_blank">http://199.141.1.21/clearinghouse/index.html</a>) under<br>
Vector Data, about...<br>
Cartographic Feature Files -- CFFs include: roads and trails, streams,<br>
water bodies, political and administrative boundaries, land ownership, and<br>
constructed features. CFFs contain the vector representation of the point<br>
and line features shown on published Forest Service 1:24000 maps (except<br>
Alaska which are 1:63,360 maps). Elevation contours, vegetation, and text<br>
(geographic names, labels, etc.) are not included in the CFF. Note, these<br>
maps are revised and published on a cyclical basis and may not reflect<br>
current conditions. See the associated metadata files for complete<br>
information. The CFF data does not necessarily contain the same information<br>
as in Forest Service GIS databases maintained by individual National<br>
Forests and Grasslands.<br>
<br>
If you want to download local GIS data from each Forest where it is<br>
available, you can visit the WWW websites for each Forest and check for GIS<br>
links, usually under the Maps & Brochures main menu item on the left.<br>

Hi Jaimie, I called you earlier today (Friday, 27 June, 2008) about getting<br>
GIS datasets for Mt. Hood National Forest. If you could provide me with a<br>
link to the data, we could import it soon. We can only accept data that is<br>
in the public domain, or that has copyright compatible with the<br>
OpenStreetMap License. Someone else on the project identified<br>
<a href="http://svinetfc4.fs.fed.us/vectorgateway/index.html" target="_blank">http://svinetfc4.fs.fed.us/vectorgateway/index.html</a> as a potential<br>
datasource, is your information included in this data? Also, if you could<br>
point me to a source for data for other states and forests, that would be<br>
fantastic.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your time,<br>
<br>
Adam Layne<br>
