Contours (Hypsography)



Description

This dataset provides a complete 1:100,000-scale hypsography (elevation) layer for the Counties of Georgia. Elevation data is represented by isolines of constant elevation (Contours). The dataset was created by combining multiple 1:100,000-scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) files to create a statewide DLG dataset. The resulting file was "clipped" to the boundary of the State of Georgia using 1:100,000 scale boundary data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Census Bureau, TIGER Line files, 1990.

Information about individual 100,000-scale DLG records can be obtained from the EROS Data Center.
