Digital Raster Graphs (DRG) maps are scanned images from USGS topographic maps. The map shown here is a DRG map of Bushkill, PA. The contour lines represent topographic information, and I assume the green shading represents vegetation while the white shading represents sand, or a lack of vegetation. This map is also topographic and an isoline map.
