Description:

Abstract:: 15 minute quadrangle coverage generated by converting tic corners 15 minutes apart from DMS to Stateplane South zone in double precision.
Purpose: Map 15' quadrangle boundaries
Supplemental_Information:: Polygons without a name in the LEGEND field are 15' quadrangles that apparently were never mapped at the 1:62,500 scale. Based on checking USGS index maps, May 1966 and January 1980.
