Description:
Abstract: Layered geospatial PDF 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Map. Layers of geospatial data include orthoimagery, roads, grids, geographic names, elevation contours, hydrography, and other selected map features. This map is derived from GIS (geospatial information system) data. It represents a repackaging of GIS data in traditional map form, not creation of new information. The geospatial data in this map are from selected National Map data holdings and other government sources.
Purpose: This map depicts geographic features on the surface of the earth. It is a general purpose map for users who are not GIS experts. One intended purpose is to support emergency response at all levels of government.

Data Quality Information:
Attribute Value Accuracy Information:
Attribute Accuracy Report: Cartographic content is derived from USGS national geospatial databases. Most the data are owned and hosted by the USGS, but this does not preclude using data sources owned or hosted by other organizations, provided that these sources have been approved by the USGS data program.
Logical Consistency Report: This product is a layered geospatial PDF file.
Completeness Report: Each PDF layer is derived from data extracted from USGS national geospatial databases. These data are intended to be cartographically complete at 1:24,000 scale.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: This US Topo map product is compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). NMAS horizontal accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of well-defined points tested are within 0.02 inch of the true position. In this product, the projection line, grids, and orthoimage are believed to meet NMAS. Positional accuracy of the other data layers is less controllable because of diversity of data sources, and may not meet NMAS. However, other vector layers do generally register well with the orthoimage, which is evidence that the overall accuracy is close to meeting NMAS.
Vertical Positional Accuracy:
Vertical Positional Accuracy Report: Vertical accuracy report: US Topo contours are derived from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 1/3 arc-second DEM data. Accuracy of 3DEP is inherited from various sources. These data sources vary in vertical accuracy depending on time of collection, collection method, control accuracy and density, and local terrain relief. The overall absolute vertical accuracy of the 1/3 arcsecond DEM data, as tested against GPS control, is about 3 meters at 95% confidence level (National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy). US Topo contours are derived from the DEMs to generally meet National Map Accuracy Standards (90% of well-defined points in reasonably level terrain test within one-half contour interval of the true ground elevation); however, actual vertical accuracies of individual US Topo quadrangles may not meet that standard. Quadrangles containing collar notes stating contours "May not meet National Map Accuracy Standards" are in areas where the source is known to be questionable for meeting NMAS for the stated contour interval.

Title: Transportation, roads
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: Vector digital data
Other Citation Details: US Census Bureau's MAF/TIGER dataset is the primary source of roads in the USGS National Transportation Dataset (NTD). USGS converts TIGER roads to USGS NTD schema, performs minimal QC/edit, and loads the data into the NTD for use in The National Map viewer and US Topo maps. USFS roads replace TIGER roads on US Topo maps over US Forest Service National Forests and National Grasslands. Due to different vintages of the data and different road requirements of the agencies, misjoins along USFS boundaries are possible. In 2016, USGS started integrating National Parks Service into the NTD. As other federal agencies road data becomes available, their data may be incorporated into US Topo maps as well. US Topo maps created in the period of 2010-2015 contain commercially licensed road data with copyright restrictions; see individual product credit notes and metadata files for information.

Title: Hydrography
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: Vector digital data
Other Citation Details: The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. The high-resolution NHD was originally created using 1:24,000-scale data. State and Local Stewards are improving the data by incorporating local updates based on more current and more accurate source data. Water features in the real world are relatively dynamic and the differences at the time of data collection mean that water features may not register exactly to other layers. The hydrographic feature names contained in and displayed by the NHD are extracted and validated from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Spatial objects may be filtered or generalized to achieve a 1:24,000-scale representation.

Title: Wetlands - Emergent and Forest/Shrub
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: vector digital data
Other Citation Details: This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the United States and its Territories. While the Fish and Wildlife Service produces a variety of wetland categories, only two (Emergent and Forest/Shrub wetlands as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979)) are included on US Topo Maps.The emergent wetlands depicted do not include lakes, rivers, open water ponds, deepwater marine and estuarine features or non-vegetated, farmed, intermittent and temporarily flooded wetlands. The goal is to provide a visual depiction of the approximate location and extent of Emergent and Forest/Shrub wetlands. Digital wetlands data are intended for use with base maps and digital aerial photography at a scale of 1:12,000 or smaller. Due to the scale, the primary intended use is for data display on the US Topo Maps. This data display is not intended for analysis. The map products were neither designed or intended to represent legal or regulatory products. Questions or comments regarding the interpretation or classification of wetlands can be addressed by visiting https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/FAQs.html These data were developed in conjunction with the publication Cowardin, L.M., V. Carter, F.C. Golet, and E.T. LaRoe. 1979. Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States. U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, DC. FWS/OBS-79/31. For more information on the wetland classification codes visit https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Wetland-Codes.html. Note that coastline delineations were drawn to follow the extent of wetland features as described by this project and may not match the coastline shown in other base maps.

Title: Public Land Survey System
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: Vector digital data
Other Citation Details: General: US Topo maps are not legal documents. The PLSS information shown on these maps is for general reference purposes only, and should not be used to determine legal boundaries or land ownership. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is the authoritative source for PLSS information at the federal level, and the US Topo representation is derived from BLM GIS data files. The management of these data is not completely uniform throughout the country. Notes for selected individual states follow ---- Alaska PLSS consists of protracted (computed, not surveyed) data only. For more information see https://sdms.ak.blm.gov/sdms/data_protracted_grid_gis.html ---- Ohio was the original PLSS state in the early 1800s, and the land network there is unusually complex. The source data include four first-division parcel types. These are all shown on US Topo maps, and are labeled according to BLM's attribution, with a leading letter followed by either a number or more letters. The meanings of the leading letters are: S=Section, F=Fractional Section, L=Lot, Q=Quarter Township.--- Surveys in some western states are too complex to depict completely on a general-purpose topographic map. Issues include separate and overlapping surveys, and land grants that pre-date the PLSS system. Old land grants are generally not shown on US Topo (though there are some exceptions), and in areas of overlapping surveys only one is shown.

Title: Hypsography
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: Vector digital data
Other Citation Details: Contours are generated from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 1/3 arc-second DEM data. The intended viewing scale for these features is 1:24,000. The contours generated from the 1/3 arc-second DEM data are, in some cases, modified by hydro-enforcement with the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) flow lines and water bodies to improve hydro-contour integraion. Contours in areas where the 1/3 arc-second DEMs were generated for new high resolution lidar may not be hydro-enforced in this way, with the result that hydro features and contours may not visually align. Contours are generated primarily for use as a layer in GeoPDFs created in the US Topo digital mapping program, and for corresponding vector products. The 1/3 arc-second product is derived from a wide variety of sources, with varying accuracies. As of 2017, only about 30% of the country has been covered with lidar elevation data. There is no guarantee or warranty concerning the accuracy of the data. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since these data were collected and generated and that some parts of these data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Hydro-enforcement and generalization can also significantly alter the spatial characteristics of the contours. Users should not use these data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations.

Title: Land Cover - Woodland
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: Vector digital data
Other Citation Details: The Woodland Tint is a derivative land cover product created using several national map layers: three National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2011 raster layers (Tree Canopy, Imperviousness, and Land Cover); and two vector layers (National Hydrography Dataset and Transportation). The process begins with masking the NLCD 2011 Tree Canopy Data cartographic with NLCD 2011 Imperviousness (values from 1-100), and NLCD 2011 Land Cover (value 11 = Open Water). The resulting raster data with canopy values of 20 and greater are converted to woodland vector polygons and smoothed via the Paek Algorithm. The woodland polygons are masked with buffered Transportation (Roads, Airport Runways, and Railroads) and Hydrography (NHD Areas excluding Inundation Area and NHD Waterbodies excluding Swamp/Marsh). The resulting polygons are checked for scale appropriate size (minimum size of one acre), and the small woodland polygons as well as small clearings within the woodland polygons are deleted. For Hawaii and Puerto Rico, two National Land Cover Database (NLCD) raster layers (Tree Canopy 2011 and Imperviousness 2001): and two vector layers(National Hydrography Dataset and Transportation) are used. The resulting raster data is carried out as before to produce the polygon vector data. For Alaska, the Woodland Tint is a derivative land cover product created using five national map layers: one raster layer, National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2011 (Land Cover); and four vector layers (National Hydrography Dataset, Transportation Roads, Transportation Airports and Transportation Railroads). The process begins with combining three NLCD 2011 Land Cover V1 Classes (41 - Deciduous Forest, 42 - Evergreen Forest, and 43 - Mixed Forest). The resulting raster data was converted to woodland vector polygons, and smoothed via the Paek Algorithm. The woodland polygons are masked with buffered Transportation (Roads, Airport Runways, and Railroads) and Hydrography (NHD Areas excluding Inundation Areas and NHD Waterbodies excluding Swamp/Marsh). The resulting polygons are checked for scale appropriate size (minimum size of one acre), and the small woodland polygons as well as small clearings within the woodland polygons are deleted.

Other Citation Details: The Shaded relief is a derivative elevation product created from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 1/3 arc-second DEM data. First there are five separate shaded relief datasets created from the original data. Each shaded relief has different azimuths and altitude values as follows: 00 450, 1350 600, 2700 450, 3150 450, 450 450. These five datasets are then combined into one feature class using map algebra to compute the raster layers using the following equation shadedrelief1 + shadedrelief2 + shadedrelief3 + (shadedrelief4 x 2) + shaded relief5 \ 6. This equation gives double importance to the 3150 azimuth and 450 elevation.
