Within the set, all counties were present except Jackson County (missing page), in addition one overview sheet of the state was also scanned and georeferenced. All maps were scanned at an optical resolution of 600dpi and using an 8-bit color palette. All 54 county maps and the overview sheet were scanned at the West Virginia GIS Technical Center. For the purposes of georeferencing, maps were downsampled to an optical resolution of 300dpi and to a bi-level (black and white) color scheme in an effort to maximize portability. Datasets used in georeferencing the 1933 maps include: DOQQ State Index Grid, 24k County Boundaries, and the 2003 2' Spatial Resolution SAMB Aerial Natural-Color Imagery. All georeferencing was performed with NAD83 Datum and UTM Zone 17N Projection. Purpose: The purpose of this dataset is to preserve and make available digitally archival maps from the West Virginia Department of Highways.
