Interior's Contributions - white paper and data

To further our mission to build a strong Interior for current and future generations, Next Interior started pulling together open data into a tool so that anyone—everyone—can see where and how the US Department of the Interior serves the American people.Interior’s Contributions (beta) is a web app (for desktops and tablets) and library of fact sheets providing basic information and statistics relevant to the US Department of the Interior, available by state and congressional district (CD). This includes information about the lands managed by Interior and its bureaus; the economic contributions from our national parks and public lands (as available); and key offices and resources that people depend on, such as dams and Bureau of Indian Education schools. Users can select states or CDs to get tailored statistics, click on map features to get basic information about features, and download brief fact sheets for ready printing and sharing.This repository includes the data underlying the app as well as the paper explaining the origin and use of the tool.
