- Abstract:
- This is an index to the files used to create the Tagged Vector Contour (TVC) data for Montana. Each feature is a 7.5-minute quadrangle that has an attribute for the name of the TVC file that contour data for the quadrangle came from and attributes that hold the first two lines of the TVC file header.
- Purpose:
- The purpose of this data is to provide metadata about the Montana Tagged Vector Contour data.
