Description:

Abstract:

This coverage includes arc segments that describe meridians and parallels at an interval of two degrees of longitude and two degrees of latitude in the Far East (China, Japan, Mongolia, North and South Korea, and Taiwan; and portions of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam).

Purpose:

To provide a locational reference grid of latitude and longitude to Open File Report 97-470F Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields of the Asia Pacific Region; Plate 1: The Far East, which is being compiled as a reference for the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. This coverage is used to produce a map and an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document of the map to be published on CD-ROM. An Arcview shapefile derived from this coverage is used in an Arcview project.
