     • US Topo maps are as accurate as the data sources used to make them, but because these sources are many and varied, it is not possible to make a single simple statement that the map as a whole meets a particular level of accuracy. US Topo maps, therefore, do not have a traditional accuracy statement in the map collar.

   How are USGS topographic maps made?

   • Historically, USGS topographic maps were made using data from primary sources including direct field observations. Those maps were compiled, drawn, and edited by hand. By today's standards, those traditional methods are very expensive and time-consuming, and the USGS no longer has funding to make maps that way.

   Are GPS elevations based on a USGS map?

   • Elevations provided by your GPS receiver might disagree with elevations on a USGS map, but they could both be correct if they reference different vertical and/or horizontal datums. The default horizontal datum setting on most GPS receivers is the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) and the elevations are based on the NAD83 ellipsoid.

   The orthoimage layer in US Topo maps is derived from images of the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). The production of these images is well controlled; they have an accuracy of 6 meters (~20 feet) or better.

   The U.S. Geological Survey hosts topoView, an interactive database of the survey’s topographic maps. The map is searchable by address, and clicking on any point on the map brings up topographic maps of the area dating back to 1879. Map results can be narrowed further using scale and date filters.
