Digital
raster graphic (DRG)

Digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a
U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map which are
produced by private organizations through an innovative
partnership with the USGS. The scanned image can include all
map collar information, or may be ordered without the collar
information (clipped to the neat line). The image inside the
map neat line is georeferenced to the surface of the Earth.
The DRG can be used to collect, review, and revise other
digital data, especially digital line graphs (DLG). DRG's
are "rough" representations of USGS maps, and are a low-cost
alternative to electronic versions of USGS maps. When
the DRG is combined with other digital products, such
as digital orthophoto quadrangles (DOQ) or digital elevation
models (DEM), the resulting image provides additional
visual detail for the extraction and revision of base
cartographic information.
