DRG



DRG stands for Digital Raster Graphic and it is a scanned image of a USGS map. This specific DRG is a DRG of the Potomac River from the U.S. Geological Survey. The purpose of this kind of map is to serve as a backdrop where other, supplemental, digital information and data can be overlaid. This map even includes some contour lines to help show the elevation and topography
