COMaP is:
Comprehensive. We have stitched together data from federal, state, and local sources. A complete list of contributing agencies and groups can be found here: Data input list

Consistent. We provide a standardized GIS database and attributes to identify and track discrepancies. Please review the Data Model for complete listing of the attribute structure.

Current. Our update schedule is annually, based on available funding and resources. We are constantly improving these data, but if you find a discrepancy or error in the database - please email us.

Collaborative. COMaP is built through the willing participation of a wide variety of federal, state, and local partners. These partnerships are essential to the success of COMaP. We are grateful to our partners and data contributors. A complete list of collaborators is available here. We are also thankful for financial support from: the Colorado Division of Wildlife, The Nature Conservancy, the USGS, and Great Outdoors Colorado.

Regional scale. The approximate map scale of COMaP is 1:24000 to 1:100,000

COMaP is not :
A data warehouse. We will not re-distribute any raw data collected from primary data sources.

Cadastral. Some parcel-level data is used to produce COMaP, but it should not be interpreted as storing legal representation of boundaries.

A mapping service. Some basic maps will be provided, but the COMaP project is not staffed to create custom maps. Contact the Geospatial Centroid at CSU if you are interested in additional mapping or analysis.
