The other day I shared details of a visualization of data that shows the status of the drought in the USA. Taking that a little further, I was told about a map on ArcGIS online (thanks @adamcarnowEsri) that displays the same data although in a real-time mapping environment pulling data from the USDA (and other sources). The map paints an interesting picture and you can mashup the data with several layers including current radar map, soils, and drought conditions… nice. See the USDA drought conditions map online HERE
