SCDNR GIS Open Data

The SCDNR GIS Open Data Site serves as a comprehensive resource for geospatial data from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. It organizes data into key categories such as Conservation, Public Lands & WMAs, Water Access, Imagery and Basemaps, Geology, Water Resources, Climate, and Marine Resources. Beyond raw data, the site also highlights StoryMaps and Web Applications developed by SCDNR, providing interactive ways to explore information.

For users who cannot locate specific data on this site, it suggests that the information might be maintained by other agencies. The SCDNR Open Data team is actively populating the site and encourages users to contact gis@dnr.sc.gov with any questions. This ensures ongoing support and improvement of the data offerings.

The site also directs users to external resources for specialized data. For aerial imagery, it points to the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs, the University of South Carolina library, and USGS Earth Explorer, while noting that older SCDNR DOQQ images will be made available. For wetlands, soils, and hydrography, it references the US Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory, USDA Web Soil Survey, and USGS National Hydrography Dataset, in addition to mentioning SCDNR's detailed LiDAR-derived hydrographic data.
