The DRG uses a scanned image from the USGS standard series topographic map. It uses a UTM projection and georeferences the Earth.

The DLG uses digital vector data. It can include a wide range of factors from topography to boundaries to roads. Map features are displayed by lines, points, and areas.

The DOQQ is an aerial photograph that includes geometric qualities of a map. It displays true position which allows for more accurate measurement.
