Digital line graph (DLG) data are digital representations of cartographic information. DLG's of map features are converted to digital form from maps and related sources. Large-scale DLG data are available from the West Virginia University GIS Technical Center in six categories: (1) hypsography, (2) hydrography, (3) boundaries, (4) miscellaneous transportation (pipe and transmission lines), (5) roads, (6) railroads. 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. The files available from the West Virginia University GIS Technical Center are full dlg3 (USGS approved). Files are currently available in dlg and E00 format.\r\nDLG's depict information about geographic features on or near the surface of the Earth, terrain, and political and administrative units.

Attribute accuracy was tested by one or more of the following methods:\r\n- manual comparison of the source with hard copy plots.\r\n- symbolized display of the digital line graph on an interactive computer graphic system.\r\n- Selected attributes that could not be visually verified on plots or on screen, were interactively queried and verified on screen.\r\nIn addition, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Production System (PROSYS) software tested the attributes against a master set of valid attributes for the category; it also checked for selected valid attribute combinations, and for valid attributes relative to topology and dimensionality. All attribute data conform to the attribute codes current as of the date of digitizing.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTopological 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.\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\n\r\nData 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.\r\nFor Digital Revision Status = Not revised\r\nReported 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.\r\nFor Digital Revision Status = Limited Update\r\nThis 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.\r\nFor Digital Revision Status = Standard Update\r\nThis file has undergone standard update digital revision. The data completeness of this file meets NMD standards for feature content.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor Digital Revision Status = Not revised\r\nThe Horizontal positional accuracy is based upon the use of USGS source quadrangles which are compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). NMAS horizontal accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of points tested are within 0.02 inches of the true position. The digital data are estimated to contain a horizontal positional error of less than or equal to 0.003 inches standard error in the two component directions relative to the source quadrangle. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy.\r\nCartographic offsets may be present on the graphic source, due to scale and legibility constraints. Digital map elements require edge alignment between data sets. Data along each quadrangle edge are tested against the data set for the adjacent quadrangle using PROSYS; tests check for positional accuracy between data sets within a 0.02 inches tolerance. Features with like dimensionality, and with or without like attribution, that are within the tolerance are adjusted by moving the feature equally in both data sets. Features outside the tolerance are not moved. All disconnects are identified by edge matching flags that document the mismatch.\r\nFor Digital Revision Status = Limited Update:\r\nThis file has undergone limited update digital revision. Accuracy of these digital data meets the class 1 positional accuracy specifications in the draft United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy. Digital map elements require edge alignment between data sets. Data along each quadrangle edge are tested against the data set for the adjacent quadrangle using PROSYS; tests check for positional accuracy between data sets within a 0.02 inches tolerance. Features with like dimensionality, and with or without like attribution, that are within the tolerance are adjusted by moving the feature equally in both data sets. Features outside the tolerance are not moved. All disconnects are identified by edge matching flags that document the mismatch.\r\nFor Digital Revision Status = Standard Update:\r\nThis file has undergone standard update digital revision. Accuracy of these digital data meets at least the class 2 positional accuracy specification in the draft United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy. Digital map elements require edge alignment between data sets. Data along each quadrangle edge are tested against the data set for the adjacent quadrangle using PROSYS; tests check for positional accuracy between data sets within a 0.02 inches tolerance. Features with like dimensionality, and with or without like attribution, that are within the tolerance are adjusted by moving the feature equally in both data sets. Features outside the tolerance are not moved. All disconnects are identified by edge matching flags that document the mismatch.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor Hypsography, Hydrography and Survey Control and Markers Only: Vertical positional accuracy is based upon the use of USGS source quadrangles which are compiled to meet NMAS. NMAS vertical accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of well defined points tested be within one half contour interval of the correct value. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy. For Hypsography, Hydrography and Survey Control and Markers Only: For Digital Revision Status = Limited Update or Standard Update: This file has undergone digital revision. Accuracy of these digital data meets the class 1 positional accuracy specifications in the draft United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nU.S. Geological Survey or another mapping agency in cooperation with USGS.\r\nUnknown\r\nThe Topographic Map Names Data Base designation for the source quadrangle.\r\nmap\r\n\r\nReston, Virginia\r\nU.S. Geological Survey\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n24000\r\nstable-base material\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUnknown\r\nUnknown\r\n\r\n\r\nground condition\r\n\r\nMAP1\r\nspatial and attribute information\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor Digital Revision Status = Not digitally revised:\r\nThis 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:\r\n- 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.\r\n- 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.\r\n- 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.\r\n- 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:\r\n- comparing plots of the digital data to the graphic source.\r\n- comparing the digital data to the digital raster scan.\r\nDLG data classification was checked by at least one of the following processes.\r\n- comparing plots of the digital data to the graphic source\r\n- comparing the digital data to the digital raster scan.\r\n\r\nUnknown\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNone\r\nVector\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUniversal Transverse Mercator\r\n\r\n17\r\n\r\n.9996\r\n-81.0\r\n0.0\r\n500000\r\n0.0\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\ncoordinate pair\r\n\r\n0.61 [0.635 for 1:25,000)\r\n0.61 [0.635 for 1:25,000)\r\n\r\nmeters\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUniversal Transverse Mercator\r\n\r\n18\r\n\r\n.9996\r\n-75.0\r\n0.0\r\n500000\r\n0.0\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\ncoordinate pair\r\n\r\n0.61 [0.635 for 1:25,000)\r\n0.61 [0.635 for 1:25,000)\r\n\r\nmeters\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNorth American Datum 1927\r\nClark 1866\r\n6378206.4\r\n294.98\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDLG3 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.\r\n\r\nU.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, 1987, Digital Line Graphs from 1:24,000-Scale Maps--Data Users Guide 1; Reston, Virginia\r\n\r\nU.S.Department of the Interior, U.S.Geological Survey, 1990, Standards for Digital Line Graphs, Part 1: General: Reston, VA, 1994\r\n\r\nU.S.Department of the Interior, U.S.Geological Survey, 1990, Standards for Digital Line Graphs, Part 2: Specifications: Reston, VA, 1994\r\n\r\nU.S.Department of the Interior, U.S.Geological Survey, 1990, Standards for Digital Line Graphs, Part 3: Attribute Codes: Reston, VA, 1994\r\n\r\nA hypertext extract is available at:\r\nURL: http://edc.usgs.gov/glis/hyper/guide/usgs_dlg\r\n\r\nSoftcopies in ASCII, WordPerfect, and PostScript format are available at:\r\nURL: ftp://mapping.usgs.gov/pub/ti/DLG/\r\n\r\nSoftcopies in ASCII, WordPerfect, and PostScript format are available at:\r\nURL: ftp://mapping.usgs.gov/pub/ti/DLG/\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWest Virginia State GIS Technical Center\r\n\r\n\r\nmailing address\r\n
