USGS POD implementation in USGS Cloud to Support US Topo Production
Track: National Mapping
Authors: Larry Davis, William Marken

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) implemented the Product on Demand (POD) application in the USGS Cloud to support US Topo Production mapping. The USGS is producing 7.5 minute US Topo Map products at various scales in the contiguous United States, Alaska, and Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands, averaging 18,000 maps per year. POD is expected to be instrumental in streamlining the US Topo Production workflow to achieve the goal of updating all US Topo map products within a 3 year recurring cycle.
