Important Note:

This map is hosted on a remote server where boydsmaps has no control over its availability or performance. We have already discontinued our other remotely-hosted maps but will continue offering maps from USGS servers as long as they work properly at boydsmaps.

But please realize, these remotely-hosted USGS maps could be permanently discontinued at any time without notice if there are problems. Our mission is offering maps of the Northeastern United States that are hosted on our own server where we can assure their quality.

Description

Data themes included are Boundaries, Geographic Names, Transportation, Contours, Hydrography, Land Cover, Shaded Relief, and Bathymetry. This service is designed to provide a seamless view of TNM data in a geographic information system (GIS) accessible format.
