Abstract
The purpose of this project was to develop information sets useful to
solving environmental issues along the U.S.-Mexico border. Information
sets were generated under the following headings: (1) data, (2) publications,
and (3) abstracts. Data included data sets that were available from agencies
and electronically. Publications included information in both scientific
and semi-popular format. Abstracts were descriptions of information about
geographic and cartographic data and their availability.
Introduction
The Southwest Center for Environmental Research and Policy (SCERP) has objectives to study environmental issues along the U.S.-Mexico border and to suggest possible policy and management approaches to address these issues. The foundation of any research, monitoring and policy program is the development of a strong data base. This data base should include all appropriate references to information available to environmental issues of concern.
Originally this project was funded to help coordinate GIS programs between
the three SCERP universities that had strong GIS laboratories (i.e., Utah,
San Diego State, and New Mexico State) and the two that did not (Arizona
State, and University of Texas, El Paso). Data generated by projects at
the universities without extensive GIS capabilities were to be placed on
GIS systems at one of the universities with capabilities. As this project
was initiated, it became clear that building a data base at one of the
GIS centers only around SCERP data was inadequate for long-term research
along the U.S.-Mexico border. There was a greater need to know what other
information was available and to make this listing available to SCERP researchers
through the Information Center at the University of Utah which handles
all SCERP reports.
Objectives
The objective of this project was to generate lists of data sets and
publications that were geographic in nature and relative to environmental
issues for the U.S.-Mexico border region.
Information Sets
Information presented in this report is in three forms. (1) A list of data sets giving the title, institution which produced it, subject, format and/or location (e.g., on the World Wide Web), GIS compatible software, and contact person, (2) a list of publications including author, title, imprint or publisher, and subject matter, and (3) a list of abstracts detailing types of maps and other geographic and cartographic information available through several agencies (e.g., USGS, Agriculture, National Mapping Program).
The three sets of information are arranged by topic in the following
sections: Data, Publications and Abstracts.

ABSTRACTS
60: The United States Geological Survey National Mapping Program provides a variety of cartographic, geographic, earth science, and remotely sensed data, products and services in support of Federal, State and public interests. These products and services include information about the Earth's natural and cultural features, base maps, and special maps in several scales, digital cartographic data, aerial photographs, and other remotely sensed data.
The production of digital cartographic data and graphic maps comprises
the largest component of NMP. Cartographic data are compiled from aerial
photographics, other remotely sensed images, historical records, legal
documents, and direct field observations and surveys, and comply with standards
of content, geometric accuracy, and presentation.
62: This coverage contains estimates of agricultural-chemical use
in counties in the U.S. as reported in the 1987 Census of Agriculture.
Agricultural-chemical use data are reported as either acres on which used,
tons or other as a percentage of county area. The agricultural-chemical
use data in this coverage is intended for use in estimating regional agricultural-chemical
use, and in producing visual displays and mapping relative amounts of agricultural-chemical
use across broad regions of the United States.
72: Master Environmental Library is a distributed environmental data
access system which allows users to search for, browse, and retrieve environmental
data from distributed sources. The user selects and zooms in on areas of
a grid by entering key parameters.
120: The National Mapping Program produces and distributes land use
and land cover maps and digitized data for the coterminous U.S. and Hawaii.
The interpretations area based on a land use and land cover system developed
for use with remotely sensed data. The land use and land cover data were
collected from aerial photography acquired by NASA and USGS during the
1970s and 1980s. Manually interpreted land use and land cover polygons
were compiled onto 1:250,000-scale USGS base maps. A few areas, including
Hawaii, were compiled on 1:1090,000-scale USGS base maps. The land use
and land cover maps were then digitized at the scale of the base map used
in the original compilation. All maps were based upon the Universal Transverse
Mercator projection and the digitized data retains their UTM coordinates.
This mapping system is designed to stay compatible with other resource
fields such as soils, geology, hydrology, and demographic data sets.
121: This data set contains hydrologic units at a scale of 1:2,000,000 for the coterminous U.S. and Alaska. The attributes assigned to each unit follows the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code scheme, which has been approved as a Federal Information Processing Standard.
Individual 1: 500,000-scale State Hydrologic Unit maps were photo-reduced
to 1:2,000,000-scale. The reduced maps were edge-matched and combined to
form 20 sections coincident with 1:2,000,000-scale National Atlas boundaries.
397: A digital elevation model consists of an array of elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced intervals. These units are categorized as large scale (7.5 and 15-minute units), intermediate scale (2-arc-second units), and small scale (1-degree units).
Large Scale: The 7.5-minute digital elevation model data are digital representations of cartographic information in a raster form. The DEM's consist of an array of elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced intervals. The data are produced in 7.5- by 7.5-minute blocks either from digitized carographic map contour overlays or from scanned National Aerial Photography Program photographs. The DEM data are stored as profiles in which the spacing of the elevations along and between each profile is 30 meters. The number of elevations between the quadrangle's true north and the grid north of the Universal Transverse Mercator projection coordinate system. The DEM data for 7.5-minute units correspond to the USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map series for all of the United States and its territories except Alaska.
Intermediate Scale: The 2-arc-second DEM data cover 30- by 30-minute areas which correspond to the east half or west half of the USGS 30- by 60-minute topographic quadrangle map series for the coterminous United States and Hawaii. The 2-arc-second DEM data consist of a regular array of elevations referenced horizontally to the geographic coordinate system of NAD 27 or NAD 83. Elevations are in meteres or feet relative to NGVD 29 in the continental US and local mean sea level in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Spacing of the elevations along each profile is 2-arc-seconds. The first and last data points are at the integer 15 minutes of latitude. A 15-minute profile, will, therefore, contain 451 elevations.
Small Scale: The 1-degree DEM provides coverage in 1- by 1-degree
blocks and is available for all of the contiguous United States, Hawaii,
and most of Alaska. The basic elevation model is produced by the National
Imagery Mapping Agency using cartographic and photographic sources. The
1-degree DEM consists of a regular array of elevations referenced horizontally
on the geographic coordinate system of the World Geodetic System 1984 Datum.
Elevation data located on the degree lines correspond with the same profiles
on adjoining DEM blocks. Elevations are in meters relative to mean sea
level. Spacing of the elevations per profile. The only exception is DEMs
in Alaska, where the spacing and number of elevations per profile varies
depending on the latitudinal location of the DEM.
398-401: The U.S. Geological Survey's digital line graph files are digital vector representations of cartographic information. Data files of topographic and planimetric map features are derived from either aerial photographs or from cartographic source materials using manual and automated digitizing methods.
Large Scale: The large-scale DLG data primarily are derived from USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps at 1:24,000 and 1:25,000 scales (1:25,000 and 1:63,360 scales for Alaska).
Intermediate Scale: Intermediate of 100,000-scale DLG data are derived from USGS 1:100,000-scale, 30- by 60-minute quadrangle maps. If these maps are not available, Bureau of Land Management planimetric maps at 1:100,000 scale are used.
Small Scale: Small or 1:2,000,000-scale DLG data are organized two ways (by section or by State/Territory) and contain information on planimetric base categories including transportation, hydrography, and boundaries for all 50 states. The Section DLG data files are historical files dating between 1973 and 1980 organized by sections of the United States. The State/Territory data files are recent files dating between 1990 and 1994 organized by State or Territory.
