Title: Extent of the depositional lobe of the Mississippi Fan
Publication_Information:
Publication_Place: Woods Hole Field Center
Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey
Description:
Abstract:
This GIS layer contains an interpretive layer of the extent of the depositional
lobe of the Mississippi Fan.
Purpose:
This GIS overlay is a component of the U. S Geological Survey, Woods Hole
Field Center's, Gulf of Mexico ArcView GIS database. The Gulf of Mexico
GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide
on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata.

The GLORIA sidescan sonar mosaic was registered and displayed in ArcView.
The interpretation of the extent of the depositionl lobe was then interactively
drawn over the mosaic to create the ArcView GIS layer.

Fees: none
Technical_Prerequisites:
The depositional lobe extent interpretive overlay is available in an ArcView
shapefile format. The user must have ESRI's ArcView 3.0 or greater software
to read and process the data file. In lieu of Arcview, the user may utilize
another GIS application package capable of importing the data.
