Geological

The USGS digital line graph (DLG-3) optional format, which was designed for data interchange, allows for the creation of a vector polygon data structure. The topological linkages are explicitly encoded for node, area, and line elements. The files are composed of 8-bit ASCII characters organized into fixed logical records of 80 bytes. Bytes 1 - 72 contain the data, bytes 73 - 77 are blank, and bytes 78 - 80 contain a record sequence number. The detailed description of the DLG-3 optional format is described in Digital Line Graphs from 1:2,000,000-Scale Maps, Data Users Guide 3 (1990). (references)
