The National Map
收藏资源简介:
The National Map provides access to base geospatial information to describe the landscape of the United States and its territories. The National Map supports data download, digital and print versions of topographic maps, geospatial data services, and online viewing. The geographic information available from The National Map includes boundaries, elevation, geographic names, hydrography, land cover, orthoimagery, structures, and transportation. The majority of The National Map effort is devoted to acquiring and integrating medium-scale (nominally 1:24,000 scale) geospatial data for the eight base layers from a variety of sources and providing access to the resulting seamless coverages of geospatial data. The National Map also serves as the source of base mapping information for derived cartographic products, including 1:24,000 scale US Topo maps and georeferenced digital files of scanned historic topographic maps.
国家地理底图数据集(The National Map)提供基础地理空间信息获取渠道,用于描述美国本土及其海外领地的地表形态。 该数据集支持数据下载、地形图的数字与印刷版获取、地理空间数据服务调用以及在线浏览功能。 国家地理底图数据集提供的地理信息涵盖边界、高程、地理名称、水文地理(hydrography)、土地覆被、正射影像(orthoimagery)、建构筑物以及交通路网等类别。 该数据集的核心建设工作是从多源渠道获取并整合八大基础图层的中比例尺(标称比例为1:24000)地理空间数据,并向用户提供整合后形成的无缝覆盖地理空间数据集。 同时,国家地理底图数据集还可为衍生制图产品提供基础底图信息源,其中包括1:24000比例尺的US Topo地图,以及扫描版历史地形图的地理配准数字文件。
