Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Marilyn Flynn Publication_Date: Unpublished Material Title: Interstate Highways, Southwestern United States Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Publication_Information: Other_Citation_Details: Original data set may be obtained from www.nationalatlas.gov Online_Linkage: http://www.nationalatlas.gov Description: Abstract: This data set contains interstate highways.This data set is a subset of a national data set obtained from the National Atlas of the United States of America (nationalatlas.gov). The metadata for this data set is the original data set metadata; however, it was updated to reflect the changes that occured while creating this subset. This data set was used as part of U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2006-5315, "Dissolved solids in basin-fill aquifers and streams in the Southwestern United States", by Anning and others (http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/studies/mrb/salinity.html). The original data set portrays the major roads in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The file was produced by joining the individual State roads layers from the 1:2,000,000-scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) data produced by the USGS. This is a revised version of the March 1999 data set. Purpose: These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Acknowledgment of the National Atlas of the United States of America and (or) the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

No other checks for logical consistency were performed on this data set. Completeness_Report: This data set includes roads for all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data completeness generally reflects the content of the original DLG files.

The files were updated and the Arc/INFO software command DLGARC was used to convert the State DLG optional-format files to Arc/INFO coverages. The individual State coverages were then merged together using the Arc/INFO command APPEND.
