1 The Projects 0322, 0343, 0344, 0384C, and 0413 are not depicted on the index map as they were fully merged with Projects 0372, 0404, 0493, 0515, 0517, 0543, 0544, 0561, 0562, 0564, 0586, and 0587 giving Southern New England an apparent line-spacing of 0.5 mile.  
2 Analog files for project 0640 is incomplete. Data east of -72° is missing. Only a state grid is available.

Description of Table Columns:


No.: Internal USGS Identification number
Data Type: Data collected as: A=Analog, D=Digital
Survey Name: Internal project name (not always the name used in publication title)
Flown By: Company or government agency who flew the original survey
Flight Spacing and Flight Dir.: Primary flight-line spacing and primary flight-line direction
Flight Altitude: Flight altitude in feet; B = barometric elevation, AG = above ground draped over topography
LineMi.: Approximate total of line miles flown for this survey
Datum: Indicates if a regional field was removed and, if it could be determined, the base value removed. Total field = no regional was removed. Arbitrary) datum = the base value removed was not stated on the map.
Publication: Brief publication reference**. USGS paper contour map publications are for analog surveys. Geophysical Investigations Maps = GP-yyyy,  Open-file Maps = yy-zzz, Miscellaneous Field Investigations= MF-zzz, refers to all or part of the original project area.

* Files of most digitized analog contour maps may be downloaded from the USGS site:  http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1999/ofr-99-0557/html/mag_home.htm   (U.S. Geological Survey, 1999)
