Types of Spatial Data (that SAL has)See also the main Spatial Data Information page.See also: Information on GEO_data and Saldata (SAL data servers and the data we have on hand)See also a messy and not particularly up-to-date list of Online Data sources links Most of the SAL spatial data is organized on J:\GEO\GEO_data by geographic region. In addition, spatial data can also be categorized by Type of data. Below is a brief listing of some of the more common data types in the SAL files.
Vector Data - shapefiles, coverages, geodatabases Raster Data - GRIDS, Imagine files, Imagery (air photos, landsat)
Common Data SetsDEM's (Digital Elevation Models) - primarily from the USGS (see the WA_USGS) folder (Most of our DEM's are from UW's Raster Data Website: http://duff.geology.washington.edu/data/raster/ ) DRG's (Digital Raster Graphics, i.e., scanned Topo Quad maps) - from the USGS (see the WA_USGS) folder DOQ's (Digital Ortho Quads, i.e., air photos) - from the USGS (see the WA_USGS) folder
Bathymetry (seafloor data models) - primarily stored in the NW_Region folder
Satellite data (Landsat, etc) - primarily stored in the NW_Region folder
Census data - primarily stored in the WA_Census folder
Soils data - primarily stored in the WA_State folder
Geologic data - primarily stored in the WA_State folder
Historical data - primarily stored the 'Historical' sub-folder (e.g., Whatcom_County/Historical_WC or BHAM/Historical_Bham).
