Scanned USGS topo quad for San Patricio County, showing the complexity in a two square mile areaWhiteStar's Digital Raster Graphs are digitally scanned 7.5' USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps. These images can be tiled and projected into user-specified coordinate systems, making them ideal for base maps and for revising and interpreting vector cartographic features.

Data Source
WhiteStar's Digital Raster Graphs (DRG) are digitally scanned from 7.5' USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps. We also offer scanned USGS maps at 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 scales.

Enhancement
WhiteStar offers Digital Raster Graph images in MrSID® format using Lizardtech image compression technology. This process can reduce file size by 20:1 from the original GeoTIFF format, creating more manageable files without sacrificing image quality. The images can be tiled for seamless coverage and reprojected into user-specified coordinate systems.
