Geospatial information science (GIS) courses are taught with extensive hands-on use of digital technology in the Geographic Science Laboratory (GSL) and in the field. Cadets use Global Positioning Systems (GPS), view and analyze satellite imagery, build map databases and produce maps with state-of-the-art hardware and software.

In addition to the main library, the GIS program creates and maintains a digital collection of USMA maps sampled below:
