<abstract>

Digital line graph (DLG) data are digital representations

of cartographic information. DLG&apos;s of map features are

converted to digital form from maps and related sources.

Large-scale DLG data are derived from USGS 1: 20,000-, 1:

24,000-, and 1: 25,000-scale 7.5-minute topographic

quadrangle maps. Large-scale DLG data are available in

nine categories: (1) hypsography, (2) hydrography, (3)

vegetative surface cover, (4) non-vegetative features,

(5) boundaries, (6) survey control and markers, (7)

transportation, (8) manmade features, (9) Public Land

Survey System. All DLG data distributed by the USGS are

DLG - Level 3 (DLG-3), which means the data contain a

full range of attribute codes, have full topological

structuring, and have passed certain quality-control

checks.
</abstract>
<purpose>

DLG&apos;s depict information about geographic features on or near

the surface of the Earth, terrain, and political and administrative

units.  These data were collected as part of the National Mapping

Program.

<logic>

Topological requirements include: lines must begin and end at

nodes, lines must connect to each other at nodes, lines do not

extend through nodes, left and right areas are defined for each

line element and are consistent throughout the file, and the

lines representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of

gaps.

The tests of logical consistency were performed by the USGS

PROSYS program.  The neatline was generated by connecting the

four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization

of the digital file.  All data outside the enclosed region were ignored

and all data crossing these geographically straight lines were clipped at

the neatline. Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline

were snapped to the neatline.  Neatline straightening aligned the

digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline,

that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic

coordinates.  All internal areas were tested for closure using

PROSYS.

For Digital Revision Status = Not revised

Data completeness reflects the content of the source quadrangle.

Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source

graphic, due to scale and legibility constraints.

For Digital Revision Status = Limited Update

This file has undergone limited update digital revision.  The

file contains only (1) those features that are photoidentifiable

on monoscopic source, supplemented with limited ancillary source,

and (2) those features, present on the original source quadrangle,

that can not be reliably photoidentified but that are not

considered particularly prone to change.

For Digital Revision Status = Standard Update

This file has undergone standard update digital revision. The

data completeness of this file meets NMD standards for feature

content.

For Digital Revision Status = Not digitally revised:

This Digital Line Graph was digitized from the USGS source

quadrangle, by either the National Mapping Division, one of

their cooperators, or one of their contractors.  The digital data

were produced by one of the following methods:

- scanning a stable-based copy of the graphic materials.

The scanning process captured the digital data at a

scanning resolution of at least 0.001 inches;  the

resulting raster data were vectorized and then attributed

on an interactive editing station.

- scanning the paper map.  The scanning process captured

the digital data at a scanning resolution of at least

0.001 inches;  the resulting raster data were vectorized

and then attributed on an interactive editing station.

- scanning a stable-based copy of the graphic materials.

The resulting raster data were then manually digitized

and attributed on an interactive editing station.  The

resolution of the digital data is at least 0.001 inches.

- scanning the paper map.  The resulting raster data were

then manually digitized and attributed on an interactive

editing station.  The resolution of the digital data is

at least 0.001 inches.

- manually digitizing from a stable-based copy of the

graphic material using a digitizing table to capture the

digital data at a resolution of at least 0.001 inches;

attribution was performed either as the data were

digitized, or on an interactive edit station after the

digitizing was completed.

- manually digitizing from the paper map using a digitizing

table to capture the digital data at a resolution of at

least 0.001 inches;  attribution was performed either as

the data were digitized, or on an interactive edit

station after the digitizing was completed.

The determination of the DLG production method was based on

various criteria, including feature density, feature

symbology, and availability of production systems.  Four

control points corresponding to the four corners of the

quadrangle were used for registration during data

collection.  An eight parameter projective transformation

was performed on the coordinates used in the data collection

and editing systems to register the digital data to the

internal coordinates used in PROSYS, and a four parameter linear

transformation was performed from the PROSYS internal coordinates

to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid coordinates.  The DLG

data were checked for position by one or more of the following

processes:

- comparing plots of the digital data to the graphic source.

- comparing the digital data to the digital raster scan.

DLG data classification was checked by at least one of the

following processes.

- comparing plots of the digital data to the graphic source

- comparing the digital data to the digital raster scan.

Entity and Attribute Information
<eainfo>
<overview>
<eaover>

DLG3 attribute codes are used to describe the physical and cultural

characteristics of DLG node, line, and area elements. Attribute codes

are used to reduce redundant information, provide enough reference

information to support integration with larger data base, and describe

the relationships between cartographic elements. Each DLG element

has one or more attribute codes composed of a three digit major code

and a four-digit minor code. For example, with the 1: 24,000-scale DLG

data, the line attribute code 050 0412 has a major code (050), meaning

hydrography, with a minor code (0412) meaning stream.

All nonstandard quadrangles with neatlines that extend beyond the

standard unit size to accommodate overedge boundaries are collected

as multiples of the standard unit size. Data covering a 7.5- by 8.5-

minute quadrangle area would be sold as two 7.5-minute units.

Each 7.5-minute unit is distributed as 1 7.5-minute cell,  except in

high-density areas, where the 7.5-minute cells may be divided into 2 or

more cells.

The transportation category of data includes major transportation systems

collected in three separate overlays labeled: (1) Roads and Trails, (2) Railroads,

and (3) Pipelines, Transmission Lines, and Miscellaneous Transportation Features.

Although collected separately, the three files are distributed as a single unit.

Orders for the transportation category for a given area will include all

three files.
