Abstract: | |
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) publishes maps in non-quadrangle format. These maps include; a county map series, State base map series, U.S. base maps, a National Park series, and outline maps of the World. Scales range from 1:960 to 1:80 million. Data categories are increasingly generalized as the map scales become smaller. These maps provide data on boundaries, hydrography, Public Land Survey System, transportation, manmade structures, hypsography, vegetative and non-vegetative surface cover (e.g., woods, orchards, lava, sand), geographic reference systems, geographic names, bathymetric contours (in coastal areas). No hypsography data is included in planimetric editions.
The county map series is at 1:50,000 scale or 1:100,000 scale in planimetric or topographic editions which may consist of one or more sheets depending on the size of the county.
The State base map series, most at a scale of 1:500,000 and usually published in three separate editions: 1)a base map showing drainage, railroads and populated places; 2) a highway and contour edition with these features superimposed on the base map; and 3) a shaded relief edition with shading superimposed on the highway and contour edition.
U.S. base maps are published at scales ranging from 1:2,500,000 through 1:16,500,000 in planimetric and topographic versions. Some portray historical information such as growth of the United States and thematic information such as Federal aid highways.
The National Park series of topographic maps is published at scales ranging from 1:960 to 1:250,000 many available in shaded relief editions.
Outline maps of the World are available at scales of 1:40 million and 1:80 million.
