The Digital Raster Graphic
What is a Digital Raster Graphic?A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) standard series topographic map, including all map collar information. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse Mercator projection. The horizontal positional accuracy and datum of the DRG matches the accuracy and datum of the source map. The map is scanned at a minimum resolution of 250 dots per inch.
How to Obtain DRGsFrom USGS Business PartnersThe USGS has private-sector business partners who sell USGS maps and digital data. Buying from these companies is usually the fastest way to obtain USGS products.
