Background of the “Topo Quad”
• History of the Topographic Map
• 56K Maps Published using Analog Production Methods
• Lack of Funding to Maintain and Revise Maps
• The National Map –
– Building and Maintaining a Seamless, Integrated Dataset Through
Partnerships using State and Local Data
– Publishing Maps Using The National Map
– Building The National Map
• http://nationalmap.gov/

Background of the “Topo Quad”
– Building Geospatial One-Stop
• www.geodata.gov
• Providing a Single Portal to Bring Multiple Datasets
Together from Other Agencies
– Create Enhanced or Custom Graphics

The Enhanced “Topo Quad”
• USGS’s Commitments to Enhancing the “Topo Quad”– Commitment to Geospatial One-Stop
• Data Discovery
– Commitment to The National Map• Base Cartographic Data Improved by Partners
– Commitment to Enhancing the “Topo Quad”
– Commitment to Customer Satisfaction
![Page 8: Enhancing the “Topo Quad” Topographic Maps made from The National Map Michael Cooley Stafford Binder June 2006, DMT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d1b5503460f949f10eb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Enhanced “Topo Quad”
• The National Map’s Graphics Concepts– Rapid-Response Map Production
• 1:24K-Scale using the traditional 7.5’ tile
– Currency of Map Content– Partnerships and Partners’ Data– Web Accessible Maps– Downloadable Digital Copies
• Multiple Formats
– Paper Copies Though Business Partners• Full-size Print-On-Demand Replacing Lithographic Printing
– Enhancing the Future of the “Topo Quads”
![Page 9: Enhancing the “Topo Quad” Topographic Maps made from The National Map Michael Cooley Stafford Binder June 2006, DMT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d1b5503460f949f10eb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Implementing the Program
• Delaware (DataMIL - http://datamil.delaware.gov/ )
– First Area to be Implemented
– Data-Rich Area
– Pre-Made Maps
– Available through The National Map
– Available as PDF or Plotted Maps

The Enhanced “Topo Quad”• The New Map Design
– Differences / Similarities Between the New Maps and the Standard Topographic Map
• Similarities– Standardized Portrayal from Quad to Quad– Transportation & Hydrography Features– Contours– Accuracy– GNIS Names
• Differences– Vegetation– Structures– Urban Tint– Names
» Automated Name Placement– Contours
» Automated from 1/3-ArcSecond ( Approx. 10-Meter) or Better National Elevation Dataset
– Improved Currency of Content
