Title:
1:24,000-scale Digital Elevation Data for Iowa
Source:
U.S. Geological Survey
Water Resources Division
P.O. Box 1230
Iowa City, IA 52244
Description:
The USGS Office in Iowa City has initiated a project
to digitize the 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps
and create DEMs. This project has been implemented
as a cost-sharing project with local state agencies
and organizations (including CGRER) so only a selected
number of these maps are completed.
Over the next couple of years additional DEMs should
become available.
Each data file represents one USGS 1:2400-scale
topographic quadrangle.
Documentation
There is no documentation specific to this data.
Each data file is in the standard USGS DEM format.
Distribution
There is one (1) DAT tape and one (1) CD-ROM containing this
data. The DAT tape contains a tar archive with a selected
number of these DEMs (those available as of 7/97) while the
CD-ROM (created 9/97) contains a more complete set of DEMs. |
