CADDO LAKE GIS ENVIRONMENTAL DATALAYERS

The following is a summary of the digital environmental datalayers compiled and assembled on this Homepage. The electronic media versions of the databases are Arcview shapefiles and Erdas v7.5 (raster data). (With the exception of the scanned and rectified USGS Quad sheets, which are in TIFF World Format.) The files have been compressed using WinZipİ. A shareware version of this program is available at www.winzip.com.

The projection of the various vector layers is Universal Transvers Mercator (UTM), Zone 15. Each vector layer is available in NAD27 (CLARKE 1866) and NAD83 (GRS1980), with the NAD83 version of the layer ending with the number 83. The various raster layers are also in UTM, Zone 15. Each raster layer is only available in NAD27 (CLARKE 1866), with the exception of the scanned and rectified USGS Quad sheets, which are in NAD83 (GRS 1980). The map units for all layers are meters.
