After several years of successful operation, I need to shut it down. The only contributions I have been receiving are folks asking for updates, but no one helping to make them, and the work has just piled to a point where I just can't do it on my own.
I will be taking the entirety of Civil Services offline on March 1st, 2023
Civil Services is a collection of tools that make it possible for citizens to be apart of what is happening in their Local, State & Federal Governments.
This data was collected specifically for use on our Civil Services website. We felt others could benefit from this data so we released it as a standalone project with MIT Licensing. If you end up using this data in your project, we would love to know. You can email us at [email protected].
Civil Services created high-resolution Landscape & Skyline Background Images for each US State and made them available in the following sizes:
- 640 x 360
- 960 x 540
- 1280 x 720
- 1920 x 1080
The Landscape image ( landscape_background_url
) are nice images of landscapes you can find in each state.
The default size is 1280x720
. You will need to replace that string in the URL if you wish to use a different size.
Sample Image
The Skyline image ( skyline_background_url
) are nice images of city skylines you can find in each state.
The default size is 1280x720
. You will need to replace that string in the URL if you wish to use a different size.

NOTE: All images were optimized for a balance in quality and file size.
There are two sizes for each state_flag_url
.

( all small flags are 150 x 100 pixels )idaho-large.png
( all large flags are 600 x 400 pixels )
The default size listed in the data set is suffixed with -large.jpg

You can either copy the ./images/
folder into your project, or we also offer a CDN.
If you are using the image ./images/backgrounds/1280x720/landscape/alabama.jpg
the CDN for that file would be https://cdn.civil.services/us-states/backgrounds/1280x720/landscape/alabama.jpg

The main data file is data/states.json
