| Lineage | dc.description | See the Penn State web site for more details and to download other data: http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/dcw_about.shtml NOTE - this is a revised version of an earlier DCW dataset that was here as of 5th August 09. It has fixed some issues in the conversion process from E00 to Shapefile that lost some features. This dataset is in the original geographical coordinate system (Clarke 1866). A set of ArcMap Layer Files is included with the data that can be used to give an approximate representation of the data. http://www.maproom.psu.edu/cgi-bin/dcw/dcwarea.cgi?Europ |
