The Alaska State Geo-spatial Data Clearinghouse (ASGDC) provides an electronic pathway for the public to access a wide variety of information in the form of maps, images and descriptions about Alaska geo-spatial data. This site is developed as a "node" on the growing framework of public sites across the nation which together constitute the electronic back-bone of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure.
The Department of Natural Resources is the host agency for this site. It is open to all state and local agencies as a low-cost means for improving public access to geo-spatial data and maps. The ASGDC combines the documentation for GIS data from participating state and local government agencies and is organized by theme.
