Why was the data set created?

The DRG is used for validating digital line graphs (DLGs) and for DLG

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

   USGS Topo (source 1 of 1)

   U.S. Geological Survey, unknown, USGS Topographic maps.

   Other_Citation_Details: The source for DRGs are the standard quadrangle

   Type_of_Source_Media: paper

   Source_Scale_Denominator: 24000

   Source_Contribution: The standard area of coverage of a DRG is the entire area

2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   (process 1 of 1)

   Production of a DRG begins with the scanning of a paper

3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?

   The DRG is an 8-bit color image that employs a color palette to ensure uniform colors throughout a particular DRG series. All DRG's within a series must have the same RGB value.

2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

   A random sampling of DRGs is accuracy

3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

   The vertical positional accuracy of a DRG

4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

   Image completeness is checked by visually inspecting a

5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

   The USGS DRG is produced with the intention of
