Google Earth maps

The data layers below consist of a variety of KMZ files that can be accessed via Google Earth. This resource was developed in partnership with the AidData Center for Development Policy for the purpose of improving access to relevant data for agricultural development work in the field.  

If you do not already have it installed, please download and install Google Earth online for free.

You can access all layers on Google Drive (no login required), or use the links below to access specific layers. Individual layers can be downloaded in Google Drive by using the down arrow symbol in the top left corner.
