Digital Orthos (looking for less than .3m Res)
Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) County Mosaics

Projection: UTM NAD 83
Format: MrSid

General Information:
The Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a US Geological Survey (USGS) standard series topographic map that includes all collar information (e.g., legend, scale bar, index map, etc.) The DRGE is a non-proprietary product of a USGS DRG in which the map collar information has been removed. This product is a mosaic of individual DRGEs that cover a particular county.

Purpose:
The DRGE is useful as a source or background layer in a GIS, as a means to perform quality assurance on other digital products, and as a source for the collection and revision of DLG data. The DRGE can also be merged with other digital data, e.g. DEM's or DOQ's, to produce a hybrid digital file. The removal of the collar information allows the DRGE to be edge-matched and displayed simultaneously in a Geographic Information System.
