Information Requests

GIS Data

MNAP maintains much of its information in a geographic information system (GIS). Data is available for rare and exemplary botanical features, large undeveloped blocks of land, and riparian areas.

To submit a request for GIS data, please send a letter describing the intended use of the data and a shapefile or map of the project area to:

Information Manager

Maine Natural Areas Program

State House Station #93

17 Elkins Lane

Augusta, ME 04333

You may submit a GIS data request electronically by emailing us.

Note: GIS data for project areas in the organized towns of Maine is available to anyone requesting it. A subset of data (clipped to the requestor's specifications) is provided. GIS data in the unorganized towns (i.e. LURC jurisdiction) is available based on landowner permission. Data can be provided by the landowner directly or by MNAP if permission is granted.

Some fees may apply, please see our fee structure.
