Bathymetry Offshore of Point Reyes Map Map Area, California

Description

This part of DS 781 presents data for the bathymetry and shaded-relief maps of the Offshore of Point Reyes map area, California. Raster data file is included in "Bathymetry_PointReyes.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/PointReyes/data_catalog_PointReyes.html. These data accompany the pamphlet and map sheets of Watt, J.T., Dartnell, P., Golden, N.E., Greene, H.G., Erdey, M.D., Cochrane, G.R., Johnson, S.Y., Hartwell, S.R., Kvitek, R.G., Manson, M.W., Endris, C.A., Dieter, B.E., Sliter, R.W., Krigsman, L.M., Lowe, E.N., and Chin, J.L. (J.T. Watt and S.A. Cochran, eds.), 2015, California State Waters Map Series—Offshore of Point Reyes, California: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015–1114, pamphlet 39 p., 10 sheets, scale 1:24,000, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151114. The bathymetry map of the Offshore of Point Reyes map area, California, was generated from bathymetry data collected by California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), and by Fugro Pelagos. Mapping was completed between 2007 and 2010, using a combination of 200-kHz and 400-kHz Reson 7125, and 244-kHz Reson 8101 multibeam echosounders, as well as 468-kHz SEA SWATHPlus interferometric system. These mapping missions combined to collect bathymetry from about the 10-m isobath to beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. NOTE: the horizontal datum of the bathymetry data (NAD83) differs from the horizontal datum of other layers in this DS (WGS84). These data are not intended for navigational purposes.
