MapServices

The State Water Commission Map Services are a variety of internet map servers with various themes. Currently there is one general map service which uses the Water Commission's vast data resources such as water data locations, drillers logs, aquifers, and precipitation info to integrate with our spatial data holdings including aerial photography, geo-political boundaries, transportation, and hydrographic features. Look for additional specialized map services in 2006.

General Water Resource MapService - The Water Commission's Internet MapServices are the place to find all of the data we've been collecting over the last one hundred years or more, integrated with the latest spatial data available for North Dakota. There are water well records, scans of driller's logs, dams, drains, water chemistry, water levels, etc. These tens of thousands of records have been combined with the latest geographic datasets including color aerial photography, topo maps, roads, public land survey, hydrography, and even live NEXRAD radar feeds. You won't find many internet mapping sites that compare with this one!! Watch for new services to be added in 2006.
