Idaho GIS Data 

Idaho Department of Water Resources  

Data available from the Idaho Department of Water Resources conform to the Idaho state cartographic standard, which is Idaho Transverse Mercator, NAD83 (IDTM83). Both Projection parameters and a discussion of IDTM are available.

Note: Errors in data are inevitable. While we do our best to produce good data, you may find a problem we overlooked. Please report any errors you find to gisinfo@idwr.idaho.gov.

If you want only a small sub-set of some of the larger data sets, use the clip-and-download feature in
the General Mapping Tool.

An alternative to using the links below is to go directly to the download directories.

Most of the data are state-wide, so they are not appropriate for detailed, site-specific analysis.
