USGS Maps and Reports Made Easy

 

The Information Mode on any FootPrint will display the following basic information for any point on the the map that you CLICK.

Latitiude and Longitude Coordinates
Elevation
Meridian, Township, Range and Section
USGS Quad Map Name

Along with standard information, the program will display any detailed information available for each layer that is "checked".

In this Gold Basin example, the Mines Layer will return mines information from Professional Paper 1361 into a database table.

Clicking the "Link" button will open a new window that displays data about that specific site, directly from PP 1361. Here I have selected site # 604.

With a few SIMPLE clicks, you know that you are looking for "Gold-bearing quartz stringers about 15 cm thick" at the site selected !

No more sifting through pages of indexes, tables and maps...just to get to the detailed information you need to know!

And of course, the entire USGS Report, "Professional Paper 1361" is included in the FootPrint for your comprehensive study.
