Mineral Resources On-Line Spatial Data
Mineral Resources > Online Spatial Data
These services can be used to add the data sets to GIS Systems, which can import ArcIMS Image or Feature Services, such as ESRI's ArcGIS or ArcExplorer. Using that software, simply enter http://mrdata.usgs.gov as the server URL, and the following data layers should become available.
