The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata. Purpose: This ArcView GIS layer is intended as an illustrative overlay to the Gulf of Mexico. It contains the bathymetric contour lines, in meters, (200, 1000, 2000 and 300) for the Gulf of Mexico area in a polyline format.

The vector line was checked for digitizing errors using PCI's Imageworks program. Some editting was done to delete spurious nodes and correct for overshoots and undershoots in the line segments. The modified segment was saved and exported in the ARC export format as bathyc.e00 with the nodes recorded as latitude/longitude as signed decimal degrees.

Indicated in some required elements that information was unavailable from the original metadata. Added links to the source citations. Additional small edits to the metadata were made to be consistent with current standards. Updated the distribution liability to an approved FSP disclaimer statement. Updated the distribution format and provided links to the data removing a redundant digital transfer method. The metadata date was updated, but not the metadata contact. The metadata contact email was updated to a valid link with an explanation in the contact instructions (20230822).
