View conservation areas with Google Earth
Imagine floating high over Missouri with the ability to view conservation areas near your home. Now imagine being able to zoom in for a closer look at area facilities. With the availability of Google Earth, you don't have to imagine anymore.
Google Earth is a new product that combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips. Google Earth puts a planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your desktop. You can type in an address and Google Earth will fly to that location. You can get driving directions between locations. You can even tilt and rotate to see 3D buildings in metropolitan areas such as St. Louis.
With a new data file from the Missouri Department of Conservation, you can even view conservation areas along with information on their facilities, activities and regulations.
Save and share your searches and favorites. Even add your own annotations.
The free version of Google Earth can be downloaded and installed for personal use. No registration is required. You can download your copy of Google Earth at Google's Web site, http://earth.google.com
In order to view conservation areas in Missouri, you must download Google Earth. After you have installed Google Earth, download the KMZ file for conservation areas from the Missouri Department of Conservation Web site. When you double-click on the KMZ file, it will open Google Earth automatically and display conservation areas in Missouri.
If you have trouble installing Google Earth or the KMZ file, Google Earth has a help page on the Web located at http://earth.google.com/support.
If your computer doesn't support Google Earth, you can still get all the information from the MDC Atlas or our interactive maps.
