Geographic Information Systems Other Digital Data
1. Digital Line Graph • Base cartographic data, distributed by USGS Map created from USGS DLG culture data showing contours, roads, section lines, lakes and streams http://spatialnews.geocomm.com/whitepapers/usgs_dlg.pdf
1. (1) DLG - Data Content • Planimetric data - include transportation, hydrography, administrative, and political boundaries • Topographic data - portray relief • Include spatial data, attribute data, and topology
1. (2) Data Availability • Large-Scale (1:24,000) • Intermediate-Scale (1:100,000) • Small-Scale (1:2,000,000)
DLG Data Availability .. Map scale Data content
1.(2) Large-Scale (1:24,000) DLGs • Correspond to the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic quadrangle maps • Primarily cast to the UTM projection system, but some are cast to the State Plane coordinate system
1:24,000-Scale DLG data .. West Rapid City, SD http://edc.usgs.gov/geodata/exampldlg24k.html
1.(2) Intermediate-Scale (1:100,000) DLG • Derived from USGS 30x60-minute quadrangle maps • Cast to the UTM projection system and are referenced to either NAD27 or NAD83 • Available products : • - Individual 1:100,000 DLGs • - 1:100,000-Scale Hydrography • and Transportation
1:100,000-Scale DLG data .. Coeur D'Alene, ID-MT http://edc.usgs.gov/geodata/exampldlg100k.html
1.(2) Small-Scale (1:2,000,000) DLG • Derived from the USGS sectional maps from the U.S. National Atlas • Available products : • Current: date between 1990 and 1994 • Historical between 1973 and 1980
Example of 1:2,000,000-Scale DLG Data of the Illinois and Missouri States Hydrography Boundaries, hydrography, and roads http://edc.usgs.gov/geodata/exampdlg.html
2. Land Use and Land Cover Digital Data (LULC) • Distributed by USGS - 1:250,000 - 1x1 degree - 1:100,000 - 30x60 minutes
2. LULC Data Contents (1) Land use and land cover Anderson Classification System Level I (2) Political unit state, county, and city boundaries (3) Census county subdivision census tracts for MSA (4) Hydrologic unit An 8-digit Hydrological Unit Code, region, sub-region, accounting, and cataloging unit (5) Federal land ownership

Hydrologic Unit An 8-digit Hydrological Unit Code, region, sub-region, accounting, and cataloging unit
3. Soils Data • Developed by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) • Soil Survey Geographic Data Base (SSURGO) • State Soil Geographic Data Base (STATSGO) • National Soil Geographic Data Base (NATSGO)
3. Soils - SSURGO • Soil Survey Geographic Data Base (SSURGO) • 1:24,000, 7.5'x7.5'quads • Based on aerial photographs and field survey • Map unit: soil series • Attributes: physical, chemical, biological, land use, etc.
Soils SSURGO
Soils - STATSGO • State Soil Geographic Data Base (STATSGO) • 1:250,000, 1x2 degree coverage • Map unit: soil association • Attribute: 60 soil properties • Attribute structure
STATSGO Map Unit STATSGO data user guider page 5
STATSGO Map Unit .. • STATSGO map units consist of 1 to 21 components • For each component, there are 60 soil properties • For each component, there are 1 to 6 soil layers • For each layer, there are 28 soil properties; for example, percent clay • A map unit identifier created by concatenation of the two-character State FIPS code and a three-digit Arabic number. It uniquely identifies a map unit within a State
STATSGO Attributes A set of relational tables is used to store the attributes for the Map Unit and its Components http://www.ncgc.nrcs.usda.gov/products/datasets/statsgo/data/ny.html

3. Soils - NATSGO • National Soil Geographic Data Base (NATSGO) • 1:7,500,000 • Used primarily for national, regional, and multi-state resource assessment, planning, and monitoring
UNESCO Soils The Digital Soil Map of the World (version 3.0) was released in May 1994 Scale of 1:5,000,000
4. Digital Raster Graphics Developed by USGS A raster image of a scanned USGS topographic map georeferenced to the UTM grid Useful as a background layer in a GIS, or to be merged with other digital data to produce a hybrid digital file
