The USGS interactive map of the Colorado Front Range infrastructure resources is a Geographic Information System (GIS) database constructed to provide tools to spatially analyze natural resource data essential for making well-reasoned decisions about land use. Many USGS disciplines in conjunction with state and local groups and other cooperators have provided impartial, scientifically-based, societally-relevant resource information essential to the region’s infrastructure. This multidisciplinary evaluation of the distribution and quality of natural resources has been organized and consolidated in one map document intended to be used largely for integrating any or all of these geospatial data sets. The GIS data can be accessed from an internet map service via a web browser and (or) can be imported into ArcGIS. Users are able to interact with and query the data without having a GIS software license. The interactive map allows the user to do such things as: (1) select which layers are visible, (2) zoom and pan, (3) identify features, and (4) print custom maps. A layer can also be declared active for identifying and zooming functionality. Users with an ArcGIS license can also import the internet map service into ArcMap. This interactive map serves the need to disseminate information and products to customers in a readily usable format. An important aspect of this product is that it can be used by customers (decision-makers and the general public) who may or may not have any GIS expertise or highly sophisticated equipment.
