NDOW Internet Map Service

The Nevada Department of Wildlife is providing an interactive internet map service to the general public, which allows the user to create their own maps, using Nevada resource information from a geo-referenced mapping data base.

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 questions for a specific area or topic that involves a geographic dimension.

Web-based geographic information system maps are similar to traditional paper maps, with some important differences. With a web-based map the, user can explore a combination of geographic areas, layer important data on top of their map, zoom in or pull back from an area, and learn more about specific features.

The interactive mapping program provides useful maps covering many different themes. A web-based map-server provides a means for the public to generate interactively, maps depicting wildlife management areas, watchable wildlife locations, place name queries, directional maps to specific locations, and much more, and helps to promote public awareness of Nevada’s immense wildlife diversity.
