Forest Inventory and Analysis Mapmaker 

Run Forest Inventory Mapmaker program. 

The user inputs the following information: 1) geographic area of interest (state/county retrieval or radius retrieval)2) attribute of interest (timberland area, number of trees, growing-stock volume, etc.)3) optional filters (for restricting the query to a specific ownership, species, etc.)4) classification variables to be used for columns and rowsand the web application generates the resulting table. If the user selects County or Congressional District as the row variable a shaded county map is generated.
