Title:
USGS Digital Raster Graphics Data CD-ROM Samplers
Source:
U.S. Geological Survey
1-314-341-0856
Description:
A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a digital image scanned from a U.S.
Geological Survey paper topographic map.
The USGS has been investigating DRGs as a potential product since
late 1993 and is now proceeding with production.
DRG production will be demand-driven, those 7.5' topographic maps
in demand will be completed first (the 1:100,000- and 1:250,000-scale
map series will also eventually be available in DRG format).
The USGS has produced a couple of CD-ROMs containing sample DRGs.
One emphasizes the technical aspects of DRGs with a variety
of DRGs of different scale topographic maps.
Another CD-ROM contains DRGs of all 50 State Capitals.
This particular CD-ROM also includes DOS software (ArcView version 1.0
and AerialView) for displaying this data on a PC.
All DRGs are in TIFF (compressed) image format. Text files on these CD-ROMS
are all in ASCII format.
