"Compressed Files" are zipped using WinZip to make the download size as small as possible.
The "Size of the Decompressed Files" is the size of the shapefile after it's been decompressed, or "unzipped".
Users of this (and all of our) data must provide their own file compression / decompression software.

You can use Google Earth as a front-end to download data in AutoCAD drawing file format by following the procedures below...
Look at the County-Wide Grid to Download ACAD drawing files in Google Earth
Click in the middle of the Tile Name you want that covers the area your looking for...
A window will open up that is a folder on our server that contains the drawing file (example - A640530.dwg)
You can then download the dwg file to your computers hard drive for further processing or viewing.
The drawing files contain LIDAR points, Annotation, Breaklines, and Contour Lines. Click here for more information on LIDAR.
- Points which are elevation points, made up of Spot Elevations DTM which are from LIDAR, and Spot Elevations which are placed through compilation.
- Annotation which is labeling of the Index contour lines and the spot elevation points.
- Polylines which consists of Breaklines, Contour Index lines, Contour Intermediate lines, Contour Intermediate Depression lines, and Spot Elevation lines. The Spot Elevation lines are simply an "X" over top of the Spot Elevation point.
Please note the image below - on the left is the downloaded dwg file, on the right is the same area in Google Earth.
