USGS National Structures Dataset - USGS National Map Downloadable Data Collection
USGS Structures from The National Map (TNM) consists of data to include the
name, function, location, and other core information and characteristics of selected
manmade facilities across all US states and territories. The types of structures
collected are largely determined by the needs of disaster planning and emergency response,
and homeland security organizations. Structures currently included are: School,
School:Elementary, School:Middle, School:High, College/University, Technical/Trade School,
Ambulance Service, Fire Station/EMS Station, Law Enforcement, Prison/Correctional Facility,
Post Office, Hospital/Medical Center, Cabin, Campground, Cemetery, Historic Site/Point of Interest,
Picnic Area, Trailhead, Vistor/Information Center, US Capitol, State Capitol, US Supreme Court,
State Supreme Court, Court House, Headquarters, Ranger Station, White House, and City/Town Hall.
Structures data are designed to be used in general mapping and in the analysis of
structure related activities using geographic information system technology. Included is a feature
class of preliminary building polygons provided by FEMA, USA Structures. The National Map structures
data is commonly combined with other data themes, such as
boundaries, elevation, hydrography, and transportation, to produce general reference
base maps. The National Map viewer allows free downloads of public domain structures
data in either Esri File Geodatabase or Shapefile formats. For additional
