The c20mcleodcga.mxd will not run under older versions of Arcmap, but the shapefiles can be loaded into any other version. The orthophoto raster image of Mcleod county is not included with the C-20.zip due to size limitations. It can be obtained from the DNR data deli. Also included in the C-20.zip is a c20mcleodcga.pmf file. This file is for the ESRI program ArcReader which can be downloaded freely from the esri.com web site. This will allow anyone to view the project data and maps, the main limitation is that independent data cannot be added to the ArcReader project. An ArcScene project, Mcleod3d.sxd is also included for those with an ArcScene license. The pdf maps should be viewed using Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher for best results. If necessary, download the files in binary, not ASCII.
