Is the Wetlands Mapper the only place I can view U.S. Fish and Wildlife wetland data?
No, this data set is also available on the National Map viewer http://nationalmap.gov/index.html (http://nationalmap.gov/viewers.html). The wetlands data is located with the Hydrography layers. In addition, the wetlands data may be viewed in many GIS software applications using the Web Map Service (WMS). Instructions on how to add the WMS layer can be found on the wetlands WMS website (http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/data/WebMapServices.html). The wetlands data can also be added to the Google Earth application using a prepared KMZ file. Instructions on how to add the wetlands data to Google Earth can also be found here.
