Internet Map Server

User Explanation

The Internet map server shares Tennessee's collection of GIS data through HTML web pages. Because of the nature of dynamically created maps, full 508 compliance is not possible. Therefore, the USGS has on file a letter of Undue Burden signed by Robert M. Hirsch. If you are having problems viewing the pages and would like alternative distributions of these maps please contact Kim Waltenbaugh or Jeremy Floyd.

• Because of the nature of the map server, the following pages are optimally viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.5 or later.
• Some of the images on the maps can be as large as one megabyte, so the transfer may be slower than expected.
• Each map image is a custom image for each request, therefore, when a user resizes their browser, the image must be transfered from the server again.
• The normal browser tools: "back", "refresh", "stop", and "home" have been replaced with map tools along the left column of the browser window. Therefore, when you finish a browsing session, close the map window to continue browsing the Internet.
• Please read the instructions for an explanation of the map viewer.
