Pennsylvania Topo / Planimetric Map
Last Updated: August 24th, 2009 11:08pm
Map Coverage:
State: Pennsylvania
Price: free
Introduction
Contour intervals of 10 and 20 feet. In the 7½' quads where the NED (elevation grid) data was derived using earlier production methods, the contour lines are not included as they can be considerable different from those on the printed USGS topo maps. For PA, this is about 12% of the quads - mostly in the west.
Features
- Roads - Nov. 2008 Tiger Data
- Railroads
- Census bureau hydro - lakes, rivers, streams, and washes
- POIs
- Borders
- Elevation contours - 20 & 10 intervals (equivalent to 24k) built from 10m NED data
Coverage
This map covers the entire state of Pennsylvania.
