National Map Training
Learn about The National Map through a variety of informative and how-to training videos.
As one of the cornerstones of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Geospatial Program, The National Map (TNM) is a collaborative effort among the USGS and other Federal, State, and local partners to improve and deliver topographic information for the Nation. It has many uses ranging from recreation to scientific analysis to emergency response.
Understanding the complexity and richness of TNM is made easier for geospatial data users, scientists, and the public, with a series of video lessons that demonstrate how to use TNM services, applications, interfaces, data, and tools. Topics include but are not limited to: using 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) data, Hydrography, TNM viewers and applications, topographic maps, 3DEP collaboration tools, and EarthExplorer.
