1. Map Layer Control (back to top)

All available data layers are organized and listed under the map layer control feature. Click on the layer categories to open the specific layers. You can choose which layers are visible in the map display by using the check box to the left of the layer.  Use the mouse to place a check in the box if you wish to make a layer active or to uncheck a box to turn a layer "off." If the box next to the layer is checked, that indicates that the layer is either drawn and visible in the map display or will be drawn on the map the next time the "Refresh Map" button at the bottom of the page is pressed. Some layers will only become available or visible if you are sufficiently zoomed in on the map display.

Please note: after selecting/unselecting any map layers, you must click "Refresh Map" in order to refresh the map display with your selections.

Left click your mouse button and while holding it down, drag the mouse to draw a red, rectangular box to specify an area you would like to take a closer look at. The smaller you draw the box, the farther in you will zoom.

Left click your mouse button and while holding it down, drag the mouse to draw a red rectangular box to specify an area you would like to take a farther look at. The smaller you draw the box, the farther out you will zoom.
