A DIGITAL TERRAIN LIBRARY.

Abstract

The need for a digital terrain library of modest size for exploratory investigations has remained. The current effort is an attempt in this direction and was undertaken as a more or less isolated sub-project of a larger study. In keeping with these general objectives, the size of each described portion of terrain is relatively small. The specific parcels were chosen to represent distinct physiographic types by selection from the U.S. Geological Survey set of 100 topographic maps illustrating physiographic features in the United States. No attempt at analysis of the resulting data are reported in this document. (Author)
