DRG

A digital raster graphic is a scanned image of the U.S. geological survey standard series topographic map.  The image inside the neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse Mercator projection.  The color values are standard.  The georeferencing process removes errors caused by stretching and shrinking of materials.  In general, errors are small.
