Maps / USGS PADUS public land ownership overlay
March 15, 2014, 05:04:47
I finally got around to adding a custom online map for the USGS Protected Area Database (see:
USGS PADUS details)

Add to providers.xml:
   
   <provider id="1000" type="0" visible="true" background="-1">
        <name>USGS</name>
        <mode>PADUS owner</mode>
        <url><![CDATA[http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/PADUS_Owner/MapServer/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}]]></url>
<zoomPart>{z}-8</zoomPart>
        <zoomMin>12</zoomMin>
        <zoomMax>20</zoomMax>
        <tileSize>256</tileSize>
        <countries>World</countries>
    </provider>


This works really well as a semi-transparent overlay.

Here's the color legend:

OK, I'll attempt to add PADUS from nationalmap.gov in providers.xml

Thanks for your help!

Thanks menion for your quick reply!

In regards to the USGS maps from nationalmap.gov, you state:
since level 16, these maps use different mechanism that is not possible to use by "Locus custom online map (providers.xml)"

Since I can't do it via providers.xml, could you add a map for the "USGS Protected Area Owner (PADUS)" layer?  This shows public land areas, and would be very useful to many people in the western USA.

Thank you for adding the USGS maps!

Could you post or send me the xml code for these, so I can experiment with the various other layers available from nationalmap.gov?

Thanks again for my favorite app!
