RLC Selected Infrastructure Data for the Former Soviet Union, 1993

This data set consists of roads, drainage, railroads, utilities, and population center information in readily usable vector format for the land area of the Former Soviet Union. The purpose of this dataset was to create a completely intact vector layer which could be readily used to aid in mapping efforts for the area of the FSU. These five vector data layers were assembled from the Digital Chart of the World (DCW), 1993. Individual record attributes were stored for population centers only. Vector maps for the FSU are in ArcView shapefile format.

本数据集涵盖前苏联陆域范围内的道路、排水设施、铁路、公用设施以及居民点信息，所有数据均采用便于直接使用的矢量格式。本数据集的构建目标是生成一套完整无损的矢量图层，可直接用于辅助该区域的制图工作。本数据集的五类矢量数据图层均汇编自1993年发布的世界数字海图（Digital Chart of the World, DCW）。仅针对居民点存储了各条记录的属性信息。该区域的矢量地图采用ArcView shapefile格式存储。
