The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata. Purpose: This shapefile data layer is intended as an illustrative overlay to the Gulf of Mexico. It contains the bathymetric contour lines, in meters, (200, 1000, 2000 and 300) for the Gulf of Mexico area in a polyline format.

Process_Step: Process_Description: The digitized Gulf of Mexico bathymetry contour vector information has been stored in a format for use with the U.S. Geological Survey's MAPGEN program. The vector latitude/longitude coordinates were extracted from the MAPGEN file with the area coordinates of -99.5, 31.1 and -79.5, 22.5 using program getcoast.

The vector line was checked for digitizing errors using PCI's Imageworks program. Some editing was done to delete spurious nodes and correct for overshoots and undershoots in the line segments. The modified segment was saved and exported in the ARC export format as bathyc.e00 with the nodes recorded as latitude/longitude as signed decimal degrees.
