- Abstract:
-
The QUADS coverage contains 1:24,0000 neatlines for the USGS 7.5-minute
quadrangle series. It was digitally generated to provide a reference template
for mapping, digitizing, and archiving other GRANIT data layers.
- Purpose: The data are generally useful as a reference grid.

-
- Process_Description:
-
The Arc/Info "GENERATE" command was used to produce 7.5-minute
quad tile boundaries in geographic space. The data was then
projected to NH State Plane feet, NAD83, and attributes were
manually added.
