project are given as a .zip file named "C-9.zip".

All covers are registered in UTM coordinates, zone 15, NAD83 projection.

There is no metadata available for these digital files.  In general, the
linework was compiled at 1:100,000, digitized via PC ArcInfo on a digitizing 
table and registered to USGS 1:24,000 quad corners, UTM NAD27.  The files were 
imported into unix based ArcInfo, linework was splinned to smooth where necessary, 
built or cleaned and coded to our standard attributes(see "documents" directory on
ftp site.  This work was done between 1993-1995.  All digital files were projected 
to UTM NAD83 projection for public use and posted on the ftp site April 2002.
