Service Notice: Geospatial Data Gateway Decommissioning

The USDA NRCS Geospatial Data Gateway has been permanently taken offline as of March 31, 2026. As part of USDA's ongoing modernization efforts, we are transitioning from on-premises servers to cloud-based data storage and delivery systems. The current Geospatial Data Gateway platform does not support cloud-based processing, which is why this service has been retired.

Direct data download for many USDA supported geospatial datasets are available on Box.com at https://nrcs.app.box.com/v/gateway/.

Soil survey data can be obtained from Web Soil Survey at https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm.

The USDA is committed to providing modern, reliable, and accessible geospatial data services. Information about future cloud-based data access options will be shared as those resources become available.

Thank you for your understanding and for your continued use of USDA geospatial data.

To request assistance, please contact usdafpacbc@servicenowservices.com and put "GDG" in the subject line of your message.
