High-Resolution DRG Scans
About the Data
The USGS has performed high-resolution scanning on existing topo sheets. GeoPDF® is used to present GIS and mapping data in a standard Adobe Systems PDF.
When were the Maps Created?
The original Florida DRGs were made between 1951 and 1993. The files on this FTP site have been photorevised in the 1980s and 1990s. The photorevision date appears in the file name.Complete information is located in the lower right-hand corner of the image. NOTE: These PDFs were created by the USGS, not LABINS.

Use the USGS Quad Name Index to find the quad sheet name.

Sample file name: FL_Alachua_1993_geo.pdf
FL = Florida
Alachua = the quad name
1993 = the year of photorevision or scan
