Layered geospatial PDF 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Map. Layers of geospatial data include
orthoimagery, roads, grids, geographic names, elevation contours, hydrography, boundaries, and other
selected map features. This map depicts geographic features on the surface of the earth. One
intended purpose is to support emergency response at all levels of government. The
geospatial data in this map are from selected National Map data holdings and other
government sources.
This map depicts geographic features on the surface of the earth. It is a general purpose map for users who are not GIS experts. One intended purpose is to support emergency response at all levels of government.
Bounding Coordinates identified in FGDC metadata and reflect coverage defined by the

This product may be freely copied, redistributed, and printed. Most content is derived from public domain data with no reuse constraints. The primary exceptions are the orthoimage layers for maps in Alaska and Hawaii, which are copyrighted and have some reuse restrictions; see the relevant data source sections (srcinfo tag) in this file. US Topo maps with dates 2010-2015 may contain commercial road data that is also copyrighted with use restrictions; see the credit note and metadata file for individual products. Even maps that contain copyrighted data may be freely used and redistributed, provided the appropriate copyright notices are retained; normal fair-use principles apply. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since these data were collected and some data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use these data for critical applications without a full awareness of their limitations. Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey is appreciated for products derived from these data.

Cartographic content is derived from USGS national geospatial databases. The data is
owned and hosted by the USGS, but does not preclude using data sources owned and hosted by
other organizations, provided that these sources have been approved by the USGS data
program.
This product is a layered geospatial PDF file.
Each PDF layer is derived from data extracted from USGS national geospatial databases. These data are intended to be cartographically complete at 1:24,000 scale.
This US Topo map product is compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards
(NMAS). NMAS horizontal accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of well-defined points
tested are within 0.02 inch of the true position. In this product, the projection line,
grids, and orthoimage are believed to meet NMAS. Positional accuracy of the other data
layers is less controllable because of diversity of data sources, and may not meet
NMAS.
US Topo contours are derived from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 1/3 arc-second DEM data. Accuracy of 3DEP is inherited from various sources. These data sources vary in vertical accuracy depending on time of collection, collection method, control accuracy and density, and local terrain relief. The overall absolute vertical accuracy of the 1/3 arcsecond DEM data, as tested against GPS control, is about 3 meters at 95% confidence level (National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy). US Topo contours are derived from the DEMs to generally meet National Map Accuracy Standards (90% of well-defined points in reasonably level terrain test within one-half contour interval of the true ground elevation); however, actual vertical accuracies of individual US Topo quadrangles may not meet that standard. Quadrangles containing collar notes stating contours "May not meet National Map Accuracy Standards" are in areas where the source is known to be questionable for meeting NMAS for the stated contour interval.
The geospatial PDFs for this product are created as follows. All geospatial content is
taken from national geospatial databases under the stewardship of USGS data programs. The
NAIP imagery is provided by a seamless tile service that delivers image data at the
resolution and quality of the source imagery. The raster and vector data, including grids
and collar information, are processed using ESRI ArcGIS software and exported as a geospatial PDF.
