    Footprints of houses and other buildings

    This map shows the footprints of all houses, buildings, and other human-made structures. The dataset is a combination from Open Street Map data (2019) and data created by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2019). More than half the building footprints were manually digitized by iREi based on 2016 WorldView-3 satellite imagery by Digital Globe provided by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Footprints extracted from OSM data may be based on older imagery and explain a ‘shift’ that might be seen in some areas.
