A strategic plan for enhancing the coordination and accessibility of geospatial data in the United States, bringing together various agencies and stakeholders to provide reliable geographic information for the nation. The plan outlines key objectives, directions, and purpose of the National Geo-spatial Programs Office.

From a 1954 edition of Popular Mechanics - a predicted home computer of 2004
Connecting the Components • Integrated base data – The National Map • Coordination, standards, policy – Federal Geographic Data Committee • Discovery and access – Geospatial One-Stop • Optimize use of geospatial technologies– Enterprise Geospatial Information Management Coordination& Standards Consistent & Current Content Data Discovery & Access How are they different?
A Bold Step . . . Strategic Alignment of USGS Programs • Charge from USGS Director, August 2004 • Strategic Alignment of Activities • National leadership of highly visible, high-demand geospatial programs • Time to bring it all together!
NGPO Directions • Unify and simplify • Act as one, under one executive (Karen Siderelis, GIO) • Contribute to completion of the NSDI • Include partners in all aspects • Be unconstrained by today or yesterday – “how we look today is not how we will look tomorrow” • Bias toward action “transformation”
NGPO Core Team • Govern the process • Sponsor Study Teams • Prepare Final Plan and Report for USGS Director • “Pillars” • Ivan DeLoatch, Federal Geographic Data Committee • Mark DeMulder, Geospatial One Stop • Hank Garie, Cooperative Topographic Mapping Program • Bob Pierce, Interior Enterprise Geographic Information Management • Stan Ponce, Partnerships and External Coordination • Mark Naftzger, Emergency Operations
NGPO Study Teams • Unified Geospatial Enterprise Architecture • Geospatial Technology Integration • Partnership Offices • Unified NSDI Web Presence • Measuring Geospatial Investments • USGS Geospatial Products and Services
NGPO Purpose “Providing leadership to place reliable geographic information at the fingertips of the Nation.” http://www.usgs.gov/ngpo
Geo-spatial Framework for Surface Water Vision NHD Follow a drop of water from where it falls on the land, to the stream, and all the way to the ocean. NED EDNA How will this vision be attained? WBD
Geo-spatial Framework for Surface Water Sponsor: Subcommittee for Spatial Water Data • Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) • Advisory Committee for Water Information (ACWI), Subcommittee for Spatial Water Data Information (SSWD)
The NationalWatershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) Kenny Legleiter, Michael Laitta & Karen Hanson WBD Technical Team
Geo-spatial Framework for Surface Water Watershed Boundary Dataset • Non-politically biased • Hydrologically sound • consisting of Common reporting units • Detailed Provide national standard framework of hydrologic units that are: National addressing system
