Diamond Point AZ Quad

This map is available Download Formats ONLY after purchase. The map is available only in 22.75" X 29" page size, which is detailed and good for printing and analysis. This printable map can be used for presentations, project work, general studies, cartographic work, land navigating and teaching purposes.

This map is based on the Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) which is a scanned image of a US Geological Survey (USGS) standard series topographic map.  The DRGE is a non-proprietary product of a USGS DRG in which the map collar information has been removed. The DRGE is useful as a source or background layer in a GIS, as a means to perform quality assurance on other digital products, and as a source for the collection and revision of DLG data.  The DRGE can also be merged with other digital data, e.g. DEM's or DOQ's, to produce a hybrid digital file. The removal of the collar information allows the DRGE to be edge-matched and displayed simultaneously in a Geographic Information System.
    
All collar information (e.g., legend, scale bar, index map, etc.) Was added to aid in use of our maps and to document added features such as current roads, forest boundaries and wilderness areas.  Our maps are also designed with search and rescue in mind displaying Township Range and Sections, 1000 meter National grid with Latitude Longitude grid.

Without maps how would you know where you are?

Mobile Devices.
When maps became accessible on your mobile phone or GPS unit. Taking maps mobile was just another step. Now we hsve a flood of different GPS units, Mobile Apps all competing for your time, money. Thanks to QGIS and free data, you can create your own georeferenced maps! Although learning how may take a year or so.

Where can I buy maps?
You can by one already built here, or you can build one using our request page. You can also find many common maps online both free and paid for. What I'm offerning here are maps less common and may not exist anywhere else.

GeoPDF map?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format that has captured all the elements of a printed document as an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print! PDF files are created using Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat Capture, or similar products. GeoPDF maps are standard PDF file format but with projection information included within the document. This allows programs that can read this information to place the document within a spacial plan on your device. Basically placing the map where you are in the world by using GPS satellites to find your location. GeoPDF files can be read by standard PDF viewers and printed.

GeoTIFF map?
TIFF (Tag Image File Format) is a common format for exchanging raster graphics (bitmap) images between application programs, including those used for scanner images. A TIFF file can be identified as a file with a ".tiff" or ".tif" file name suffix. GeoTIFF maps are standard TIFF file format but with projection information included within the document. This allows programs that can read this information to place the document within a spacial plan on your device. Basically placing the map where you are in the world by using GPS satellites to find your location. GeoPDF files can be read by standard PDF viewers and printed..

JPEG map?
JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG can also be georeferenced by adding two files, both are used to georeference the image in different programs. Althrogh the file size can be smaller, the quilty of the image degrads if scaled up and is less desireble then PDF or TIFF's file formats.

What is NAIP?
The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) acquires aerial imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to make digital ortho photography available to governmental agencies and the public within a year of acquisition. NAIP is administered by the USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) through the Aerial Photography Field Office in Salt Lake City. This "leaf-on" imagery is used as a base layer for GIS programs in FSA's County Service Centers, and is used to maintain the Common Land Unit (CLU) boundaries.
