A small portion of a USGS DRG
A 'digital raster graphic (DRG)' is a
digital image resulting from scanning a paper
USGS topographic map for use on a computer. DRGs created by USGS are typically scanned at 250
dpi and saved as a
TIFF. The
raster image usually includes the original border information, referred to as the "map collar". The map file is
UTM projected and
georeferenced to the surface of the earth. DRG's are regularly used in
GIS applications.
