We do have them available. I need to go over to building 3 today, so I'll look over what they have. I don't believe anything is available in xwd or other X appropriate format, so some translation would have to be done. The maps are available on tape as ASCII data files. I'll try to post more information when I receive it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory Woodhouse |We know that the center of the earth gjw@andreas.wr.usgs.gov |is a fiery molten mass...but it's not (415) 329-4694 (office) |good to dwell on it.

I've been getting lots of mail regarding digital maps, so I thought I'd post a reply to the list. First of all, we (the USGS) does sell digitalized maps, but not in X readable format. It seems that one format is simply an array of elevations, others contain line elements and distinguish natural features. They are available on 9-track tape. I believe the numbebr for the mapping center is (415) 329-3409. There is also a firm here in Menlo Park called ETAK (I think, it's been a long time since I was a summer hire student working for the Army) that works on the GPS (Global Positioning System). You might contact them regarding more traditional maps (especially urban maps where the USGS really has nothing). Sorry I don't have more for you right now. It's real buusy today, and I haven't had the chance to go through their (our?) literature. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory Woodhouse |We know that the center of the earth gjw@andreas.wr.usgs.gov |is a fiery molten mass...but it's not (415) 329-4694 (office) |good to dwell on it.
