DLG Maps



A Digital Line Graph (DLG) map is a map that portrays the linear information contained on the United States Geological Survery (USGS) topographic maps such as transportation networks, boundaries, and manmade features. It includes themes such as roads, rivers, and railroads. This map of Columbus, Georgia, is a DLG map because it represents roads, trails, rivers, and lakes to show transportation networks.
