Forest Service

FSGeodata Enterprise Data Warehouse Map Services

The Forest Service enterprise ArcGIS REST server. A self-describing services directory (currentVersion 11.5) across nine folders — EDW, RDW_AdminAndOwnership, RDW_Climate, RDW_FIA_ForestAtlas, RDW_InventoryAndProducts, RDW_LandscapeAndWildlife, RDW_Wildfire, Utilities and wo_nrm_iweb — with 144 MapServer services in the EDW folder alone covering surface ownership, forest system boundaries, activity records, aerial fire retardant avoidance areas, aquatic organism passage and Bailey's ecoregions. Each service document links the dataset's FGDC metadata XML, and each service also publishes a WSDL 1.1 SOAP contract with 55 operations. OGC WMS/WFS is not enabled.
