DLG (Digital Line Graph)

A digital line graph is a digital vector representations which are derived using information from topographic maps or hypsographic data. The DLG maps can show topography, hydrography and utility lines just to name a few.
The example map is of a  Portion of three Digital Line Graph (DLG) layers for USGS Bushkill, PA quadrangle; imaged with Global Mapper (dlgv32 Pro) software. Transportation features are arbitrarily colored red, hydrography blue, and hypsography brown. The square symbols are nodes and the triangles represent polygon centroids.
