Abstract:

The Digital Chart of the World (DCW) is a 1,700 MB data base of vector geographic information. It provides global coverage of topographic information equivalent in detail to a 1:1 million scale map. Application software along with its source code, designed to operate on an MS-DOS based microcomputer, is furnished with the DCW.

          Topographic information: Major road and rail networks, major drainage systems, major utility networks (cross-country pipelines and communication lines), all major airports, contours, coastlines, international boundaries and populated places. An index of geographic names is provided to aid in locating areas of interest.

          USGS Information Services accepts fax and mail orders only.
