Published by United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) | Federal Geographic Data Committee | Metadata Last Checked: February 14, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-09T15:34:03.763Z
The Navgiation Facilities dataset is periodically updated by the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The data includes location (latitude, longitude, waterway, mile, and bank); operations (name, owner, operator, purpose, handling equipment, rates, and details of open-and-covered storage facilities); and type of construction (length of berthing space for vessels and/or barges, depth, deck elevation, and details of rail-and-highway access). Additional attributes included in the data are the unique navigation-unit identifier, official name, facility type, United Nations Location Code, a location description, stress address, city, state, zip code, county, congressional district, TOWS link location identifiers, port name, waterway name, mile, bank, and service-initiated dates. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529017
