This map presents land cover and detailed topographic maps for the United States. It uses the USA Topographic Map service. The map includes the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Earth physical map at 1.24km per pixel for the world at small scales, i-cubed eTOPO 1:250,000-scale maps for the contiguous United States at medium scales, and National Geographic TOPO! 1:100,000 and 1:24,000-scale maps (1:250,000 and 1:63,000 in Alaska) for the United States at large scales. The TOPO! maps are seamless, scanned images of United States Geological Survey (USGS) paper topographic maps.

The maps provide a very useful basemap for a variety of applications, particularly in rural areas where the topographic maps provide unique detail and features from other basemaps.

0.6 meter contours. This dataset contains locations and attributes of 0.6 meter interval topography data, created using bare earth points from the lidar point cloud data. Some areas have limited data. The lidar dataset redaction was conducted under the guidance of the United States Secret Service. Except for classified ground points and classified water points, all lidar data returns and collected data were removed from the dataset within the United States Secret Service 1m redaction boundary generated for the 2017 orthophoto flight

Elevation captured in 1999. Contract NCPC 93-02. This document describes the planimetric map production for the 350 tiles located in Washington DC and the surrounding states of MD and VA.

Mass Points (2008). The dataset contains DTM masspoints derived photogrammetrically to support 2’ contours. Masspoints and breaklines were compiled from Spring 2008 aerial photography using softcopy photogrammetric techniques. Masspoint elevations are in based on NAVD US feet. Masspoints and breaklines were compiled to support generation of a TIN and the subsequent processing of 2’ contours.

Topographic map on a scale of 1: 10,000 in the 1992 layout is a graphical map (in colour). It shows the shape and cover of the land (including water, vegetation, settlements, roads and a number of other objects). Topographical maps are the primary source of information about the geographical environment.

These are military topographic maps (scale 1:25,000) from the years 1944, series GSGS 4427 and GSGS 4414 (GSGS = Geographical Section General Staff). During the Second World War, maps of strategically located areas in the occupied territories were produced on the initiative of the American Army Map Service (AMS) in Washington DC and the British War Office in London. The work of the military services includes maps of cities and map series of France, Belgium and the Netherlands, among others. This includes the map series "Holland, 1:25.000" which was known to the Americans under the code AMS M831 and to the British under the code GSGS 4427. The 215 sheets in series GSGS 4427 contain most of the Netherlands, and were published in 1943. , 1944 or 1945 printed. From series GSGS 4414 there are 263 maps of the eastern part of the Netherlands and a large part of Germany. Older sheets available in Washington DC and London were used to make the maps. Sometimes it was even necessary to refer to information printed by the Dutch Topographical Service from the end of the nineteenth century. If the Allies had more recent magazines, they were of course used. In most cases, information was taken from map sheets from the 1920s and 1930s. In addition, information was also taken from, for example, Michelin maps and map sheets of the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Automobiel Club (KNAC).

The topographic maps referred to as the Issue State (AS) were primarily intended for military use and were classified as Confidential Classified. On a scale of 1: 25,000 there were 2 output variants: TK=topographic maps and TSP=topographic city maps.

This dataset was created to support the Washington D.C. StreamStats project funded by the Washington D.C. Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE). The dataset contains digital elevation model (DEM), flow direction and catchment layers that were conditioned using Washingtons D.C.’s stormwater network layer. The data are hosted online as a component of the USGS StreamStats web application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov), where users can interact with a map of Washington D.C.’s stormwater pipe system and National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) “best resolution” blue lines to delineate drainage basins that account for pipe flow. This project utilized 1-meter (high resolution) terrain products, which improves upon existing 10 meter resolution data products traditionally used in StreamStats. Following work completed for Boston’s Mystic River Basin, Washington, D.C. is the second jurisdiction to incorporate storm-drain-network data into StreamStats. The pipe-network-informed hydro-geomorphologically correct urban hydrography layers were developed by incorporating 1-meter resolution lidar-derived elevation data and D.C.’s stormwater pipe data to approximate topography and stormwater flow. Users may access the “Washington, D.C. Stormwater” fixture on the StreamStats application to delineate drainage basins that approximate effective basin area in storm drain serviced areas. The contents of this data release include the following GeoTiffs: •demaoi.tif: 1-meter LiDAR derived digital elevation model for Washington D.C. and its tributaries (6 HUC-12 watersheds: NW Branch Anacostia, Lower Rock Creek, Nichols Run Potomac River, Lower Anacostia River, Pimmit Run- Potomac River, and Fourmile Run- Potomac River.) •Fdr.tif: 1-meter pipe-network-informed flow direction raster for Washington D.C. and its tributaries (excluding the Potomac River mainstem). Flow direction was informed by D.C.’s stormwater pipe network, and stormwater inlets are represented as sinks. •Cat.tif: 1-meter flow accumulation layer for Washington D.C. and its tributaries (excluding the Potomac river mainstem). This layer was created using pipe-network-informed flow direction layer. The catchment raster represents subcatchments within the study area draining to either sinks (stormwater inlets) or surface drainage lines (overland connectors or streams). The processing steps implemented to produce the raster layers contained in this dataset follow methods previously described by Spaetzel and others, 2022, are described in the associated metadata. Please note that the stormwater network coverage used to produce this data is protected and will not be made publicly available.

Topographic map on a scale of 1: 10,000 in the 1992 TBD standard is a generic map (in colour).It shows the shape and cover of the site (including water, vegetation, settlements, roads and a number of other objects). Topographic map 1:10000 in the TBD standard — is a product developed for the preparation of high quality plotter prints, with a small amount of editorial work, while maintaining the correct information message. It is a cartographic product of the TBD database (KARTO component). The KARTO database is stored in sheet cutting.
