April 2018 Updates Based on Adobe Reader DC version 2018.009.20050 In 2017, US Topo production systems were redesigned. This system change has few impacts on the design and appearance of US Topo maps, but does affect the geospatial characteristics. The previous version of this Users Guide is frozen in its current form, and applies to US Topo maps created The previous version of this Users Guide, which before approximately June 2017 and to all HTMC applies to US Topo maps created before June maps. The document you are now reading applies 2017 and to all HTMC maps, is linked from to US Topo maps created after June 2017, and https://nationalmap.gov/ustopo will be maintained into the future. US Topo maps are the current generation of USGS topographic maps. The first of these maps were published in 2009. They are modeled on the legacy 7.5-minute series of the mid-20th century, but unlike traditional topographic maps they are mass produced from GIS databases, and are published as PDF documents instead of as paper maps. US Topo maps include base data from The National Map and other sources, including roads, hydrography, contours, boundaries, woodland cover, structures, geographic names, an aerial photo image, Federal land boundaries, and shaded relief. For more information see the project web page at https://nationalmap.gov/ustopo. The Historical Topographic Map Collection (HTMC) includes all editions and all scales of USGS standard topographic quadrangle maps originally published as paper maps in the period 1884-2006.

The variety of formats and data structures, as well as the disparate quality, of geospatial data can result in a dizzying accumulation of useful and useless pieces of spatially explicit information that must be poked, prodded, and wrangled into a single, unified dataset.

US Topo maps are the current generation of USGS topographic maps. The first of these maps were published in 2009. They are modeled on the legacy 7.5-minute series of the mid-20th century, but unlike traditional topographic maps they are mass produced from GIS databases, and are published as PDF documents instead of as paper maps.

  • Metadata Practices to Support Discovery in Geospatial Platform/Data.Gov Metadata Collection Has Been Ongoing for Many Years
    Metadata practices to support discovery in Geospatial Platform/data.gov Metadata collection has been ongoing for many years now in the geospatial field. With the publication of the initial Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) in 1994 and its Version 2 in 1998, and globally with the international metadata standard ISO 19115 in 2003, and its XML form, ISO TS19139, in 2007. The primary objective of these standards is to provide contextual documentation of geospatial resources – data, services, documents, and applications that enable fitness-for-use evaluations, and facilitate direct online access to the described resources. The Geospatial One-Stop and the Geospatial Platform successor catalog, executed in partnership with data.gov, have as a priority the documentation of online accessible data and information products, specifically the location of data sets and applications for download and Web service URLs for real-time visualization and data access or processing. This document identifies best practices of metadata creation and publishing that will lead to more successful propagation of metadata and ease of resource discovery and access through cataloguing systems like data.gov and the Geospatial Platform. URLs to metadata should be to online resources. Resources (data, services, applications) that are described in either CSDGM or ISO metadata must include URLs that take a user to the online resource. This is a baseline expectation of the data.gov environment and one we must follow in the shared catalog. Links should provide direct access to the resource wherever possible. Metadata records that only include references to websites or HTML pages where users must re-initiate search might not be harvested into the new catalog.
