GIS Database Project

DRG - Digital Raster Graphic
DLG - Digital Line Graph
DEM - Digital Elevation Model
DOQ - Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle

This post is somewhat of a "repetition" of other maps within this blog.  I thought that it would be a valuable learning tool to put the four maps together that are a part of the GIS Database Project for the San Francisquito Creek.  These maps are the DRG, the DLG, the DEM, and the DOQ.  This project shows how maps are used in conjunction with each other for a common goal.  As the site explains, "while the GIS project is by no means comprehensive, it does provide an introduction to using geospatial data to frame and explicate natural resource questions."
