The elevation data were derived from USGS Digital Elevation Models at the 1:24,000 scale. Dawn Wright then mosaiced the grids together in ArcInfo to create this single grid. Purpose: The grid should provide a nice detailed presentation of land elevation (base layer), possibly suitable for georeferencing or mosaicing with grids of offshore topography (bathymetry) produced from multibeam surveys done in May of 2001 for the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, American Samoa.
