Digital Raster Graphics.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map. The scanned image includes all map collar information. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the Earth. The DRG can be used to collect, review, and revise other digital data especially digital line graphs (DLG). When the DRG is combined with other digital products, such as digital orthophoto quadrangles (DOQ) or digital elevation models (DEM), the resulting image provides additional visual information for the extraction and revision of base cartographic information. The USGS is producing DRGs of the 1:24,000-, 1:25,000-, 1:63,360- (Alaska), 1:100,000-, and 1:250,000-scale topographic map series.; abstract: A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map.
