Sometimes I need to just sit back and laugh, particularly when i see statements like this one from “data repositories” (aka. data whores) who re-sell free data… State Data Bundles including DRG, DEM, NWI, DLG, & DOQ bundles quickly and conveniently delivered to you within a day or two on CD-ROM… Found a lower price? Call us and we’ll beat em! Well, how about this for someone else – how about FREE! See this fine resource for pretty much everything you need for basemap data in the US – http://seamless.usgs.gov/. Oh, there’s also http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/GatewayHome.html
