Description:

Abstract:

This spatial layer contains names and boundaries of the U.S. Geological Survey 1 x 2-degree (1:250,000-scale) topographic quadrangles that contain the upper Washita River basin in southwestern Oklahoma. This spatial layer can be used to acquire information needed to order 1 x 2-degree topographic maps, geologic maps, and to register quadrangles for digitizing purposes.

Purpose: To provide an index for 1:250,000-scale quadrangles.

Process_Description:

This spatial layer is a subset of a spatial data set that contains 1:250,000-scale topographic quadrangles for the Mississippi River basin that can be accessed at <http://ok.water.usgs.gov/gis/greds.html>. The quadrangles that show the upper Washita River basin were selected and a shapefile was created. The layer was projected and imported into the geodatabase, and metadata written.
