Background

GIS Data for Capitol Planning Region

On the GIS DATA webpage of the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP), visitors can expect to find comprehensive geographic information system data available for download in multiple formats including Shapefile, File Geodatabase, KML, and CSV. Each dataset is accompanied by detailed FGDC metadata and cartographic symbology defined in ArcGIS layers to facilitate immediate use in GIS software. Although the traditional GIS Data Download Page has been replaced as of October 1, 2020, users are directed to the DEEP GIS Open Data Website (https://deepmaps.ct.gov/) for access to all current data. Additionally, the site provides the ability to connect desktop GIS or CAD applications directly to ArcGIS and WMS map services through CT ECO, offering an alternative way to access and view metadata without downloading files. The site is a resource for a variety of mapping and GIS datasets tailored to environmental planning, conservation, and resource management in Connecticut, all supported by state privacy, accessibility, and usage policies.
