S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Field Center's, Gulf of Mexico ArcView GIS database. 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 shapefile an additional GIS overlay. It contains the names of various seafloor features (basins, slopes, knolls, ridges, etc.) for the Gulf of Mexico. Supplemental_Information: This ArcView shapefile was created from a Microsoft Excel spread sheet found at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric's National Geophysical Data Center's website. The information contained in the spread sheet was editted to include only those features that would pertain to the planned Gulf of Mexico Internet Map Server for the USGS, Woods Hole Field center. Therefore, this is not a complete listing as would be found from NOAA-NGDC.

Records that did not contain a latitude/longitude coordinate for a feature name were deleted from the spreadsheet. The text fields containing the latitude and longitude coordinate of the seafloor feature were then copied and added to the spreadsheet as the first two fields. These fields were added so numeric latitude longitude fields recorded as signed decimal degrees could be created later. The modified spreadsheet was saved as a comma separated values text file.
