Geospatial Data

For a richer user experience, try our Esri-hosted "Open Data" site to acquire Wyoming Game & Fish authoritative geospatial data! It is located here: Wyoming Game and Fish Open Data. This site offers users the ability to review data set descriptions, preview data in tabular and map form, and save data in multiple formats. But if you need complete metadata content, the Open Data site does not currently package up all the metadata we include for some data and you should proceed to download data here at this website by following the links below.

Story maps provide a unique format for sharing maps, photos and narratives to "tell a story" in a single electronic document.  This engaging format is also an Esri product, in which we have customized and configured the contents of a template made available by Esri.  Please check out our story maps:
