: California Geographical Survey
http://geogdata.csun.edu/
I am sending you this note to inform you of the creation of a new
internet resource, the California Geographical Survey. The
survey is a digital archive of geographical data, maps, and
other information dealing with California and the United States.
This site functions principally for the benefit of the
instructional programs in the Department of Geography at
California State University Northridge. However, it is also
being constructed with the intention that the general public should
benefit from the existence of a readily available source of
geographical information bearing on matters of their concern
and the formulation of public policy.
If you have any questions, technical or topical, please feel
free to contact me via internet. I will try to answer your
questions and assist your investigations as far as my academic
responsibilities allow. However, due to the strained fiscal climate
of the State of California, I will not normally respond
to telephone calls or letters.

Accessing information and maps from the Survey presumes that
users have at least some experience using Mosaic, Netscape, or
some other appropriate computer application. Most maps were
created in a variety of Macintosh mapping programs and then
stored in GIF format for ease of digital transmission and use.
In many cases, the original maps were produced in color and at
much larger sizes.
Statistical data are normally stored as DBase or text files. These
may be downloaded in binary format and used by any number of
popular computer applications. Users are cautioned, however, that
many of these files are larger than 10 megabytes. If you have
concerns concerning technical issues, you should contact either:
