Interactive Map Service
The Nevada Department of Wildlife is unveiling a new resource for Nevada’s map lovers: an on-line interactive mapping program that allows the user to create their own maps, using Nevada resource information from a geo-referenced mapping data base.
The interactive mapping program provides useful maps covering many different themes. The purpose of this web map service is to provide geographic information that can be used to help make more informed decisions, and get answers to resource questions for a specific area or topic that involves a geographic dimension.
