Since the National Atlas Program has ended, is any data still available?
The online version of the National Atlas (officially known as the 1997-2014 Edition of the National Atlas of the United States) was removed from service in 2014. Some of its previous products are available from the following USGS sources:
- Some small-scale data, containing National Atlas data, are available through the National Map Downloader or Staged Products.
- Some small-scale geologic data is on the Mineral Resources Online Spatial Data (MRDATA) site. Scroll down the page to the "Geologic Data" section.
- Over three hundred datasets from the National Atlas can be downloaded from EarthExplorer (free registration required). They are found under “Digital Maps.”
- National Atlas maps are available for purchase through the online USGS Store until supplies are exhausted. No new maps will be printed. For information on price and availability, call 1-888-275-8747 (option 2) or 303-202-4700 (international) or email usgsstore@usgs.gov.
- Printable Maps developed for the National Atlas have been removed from the USGS website, but some may be found via The Wayback Machine. These archived maps can be printed or downloaded but not previewed.
