DRG

A DRG showing part of the western section of Washington, DC.

DRG, or Digital Raster Graphic, are maps that are scanned images of USGS standard series topographic maps. This enables more modification than when the map was originally on paper. These maps are important because they are georeferenced to the surface of the earth. They are then projected to the UTM to allow for consistency. The map above is a DRG from the District of Columbia.
