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.

PLOT COORDINATE AVAILABILITY

THE RULES ARE PRETTY MUCH STILL THE SAME – YOU NEED FORMAL AUTHORIZATION TO ACCESS THE ACTUAL PLOT COORDINATES. THE FUZZED COORDINATES ARE PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE.

ALL DATA UPLOADED TO FIADB CONTAINS FUZZED/SWAPPED COORDINATES, INCLUDING PERIODIC AND ANNUAL, AND ALL STATES

How can I keep up with all these changes??
