This geospatial database has been approved for release and publication by the Director of the USGS.  Although this database has been subjected to rigorous review and is substantially complete, the USGS reserves the right to revise the data pursuant to further analysis and review.  Furthermore, it is released on condition that neither the USGS nor the United States Government may be held liable for any damages resulting from its authorized or unauthorized use.

This digital geospatial database is distributed in ArcInfo export and ArcView shapefile formats.  After extracting the files from the tar.gz or .zip archive, use the ArcInfo IMPORT command to import the coverages and grids for use.  In ArcView, create a new view then choose "Add Theme" from the Theme menu to add each shapefile to the view.

For additional information on individual coverages, please see the metadata file mf-2372.met.

The files used in Map A are:

dvrfspoly
hueb
satb
valb
halo_bd
hstruc2
dvrfs_rd
dvrfs_hptxt
coldsprgs
springreg
county_100k
nts_outline
nvca
stipplebuffer
townpts
pot_cont
cald_txt
flt_txt
hydrostruc_bb

To import the files into Arc, at the Arc prompt type: IMPORT COVER {file name.e00} {new cover name}

There are three grid files needed for Map A:  hueb, satb, and valb.  These three files are compressed .zip files due to their large size.  After expanding the files, they will be .e00 Arc export files.

To import the files into Arc, at the Arc prompt type: IMPORT GRID {file name.e00} {new grid name}.

The projection files needed are:

geo.prj
dvrfs_utm.prj




The files used in Map B are:

dvrfspoly
red
green
blue
halo_bd
hstruc2
dvrfs_rd
dvrfs_hptxt
county_100k
nts_outline
nvca
stipplebuffer
townpts
cald_txt
flt_txt
hydrostruc_bb
polybuffer
eq78to86
polynums

There are three grid files needed for Map B:  red, green and blue.  These three files are compressed .zip files due to their large size.  After expanding the files, they will be .e00 Arc export files.

To import the files into Arc, at the Arc prompt type: IMPORT GRID {file name.e00} {new grid name}.
