Purpose: This data set was created in order to serve as part of the background map layers for data visualization in the sediment database section of USGS Professional Paper 1634. Supplemental_Information: This data layer was obtained from USGS Professional Paper 1634 (2002) with no associated metadata. Metadata has been created for use of the data layer in this publication.
