The data set for these maps includes arcs, polygons, and labels that outline and describe the general geologic age and geophysical fields of Bangladesh. Political boundaries are provided to show the general location of administrative regions and state boundaries. Major base topographic data like cities, rivers, etc. were derived from the same paper map source as the geology. The data provide government, the geologic community, consultants, and the general public with an important geological base for small scale natural resource surveys, exploration and analysis. The maps on this CD-ROM have been compiled from:
