Authoritative Land Status Data
These maps, showing ownership and acreage, are the 'official record' of the acreage of federal and non-federal lands within the park boundaries. As such this data is intended for use as a tool for GIS analysis. It is in no way intended for engineering or legal purposes.Biodiversity Across NPS
Explore the biodiversity of our national parks through the observations that visitors and citizen scientists have made on iNaturalist! iNaturalist is a mobile and web-based tool where people can document the plants, animals, and other species they see and the iNaturalist community works together to identify what was observed.Geodiversity Atlas Map
Geodiversity refers to the full variety of natural geologic (rocks, minerals, sediments, fossils, landforms, and physical processes) and soil resources and processes that occur in the park. The NPS Geodiversity Atlas delivers information in support of education, Geoconservation, and integrated management of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of the ecosystem.Geologic Resources Inventory Products
