Roads, Digital Line Graphs (1:24,000)

This metadata is meant to describe the roads layer of DLGs, but may contain information on other DLG layers. Digital line graph (DLG) data are digital representations of cartographic information. DLG's of map features are converted to digital form from maps and related sources. Large-scale DLG data are available from the West Virginia University GIS Technical Center in six categories: (1) hypsography, (2) hydrography, (3) boundaries, (4) miscellaneous transportation (pipe and transmission lines), (5) roads, (6) railroads. All DLG data distributed by the USGS are DLG - Level 3 (DLG-3), which means the data contain a full range of attribute codes, have full topological structuring, and have passed certain quality-control checks. The files available from the West Virginia University GIS Technical Center are full dlg3 (USGS approved). Files are currently available in dlg and E00 format.
