  Description: 
    Abstract: 
      This data set portrays the major roads in the United States, Puerto Rico, 
      and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The file was produced by joining the 
      individual State roads layers from the 1:2,000,000-scale Digital Line 
      Graph (DLG) data produced by the USGS.  This is a revised version of the
      March 1999 data set. 
    Purpose: 
      These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the 
      national level, and for large regional areas.  The data should be 
      displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data.  
      No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of 
      these data.

      Process_Description:
        The 2MILRD data files were originally digitized by the National Mapping 
        Division based on the sectional maps contained in 'The National Atlas of 
        the United States of America' published by the USGS in 1970.  The files 
        were updated and the Arc/INFO software command DLGARC was used to 
        convert the State DLG optional-format files to Arc/INFO coverages.  The 
        individual State coverages were then merged together using the Arc/INFO 
        command APPEND.

        Some roads in Alaska were determined to be trails, and were deleted.  
        Some ferry crossings in Alaska were added, others modified.
