Creating a Monroe County DEM as a part of STATEMAP Christina James & Walter Hasenmueller
What is STATEMAP? a mapping program Component of the NCGMP Funded by USGS and IGS match money
National Cooperative Geological Mapping Program: Determine the Nation’s geologic framework through the systematic development of geologic maps. Develop complementary national databases that provide value-added information to the National Geologic Map Database. Apply cost-effective mapping techniques that assemble and disseminate geologic-map information, and that render such information of greater application and benefit to the public. Develop public awareness of the role and application of geologic-map information to the resolution of national issues of land use management.
