themes: biological, cadastral, cultural, economic, elevation,
environmental, geodetic, geophysical, governmental units, hydrography,
imagery, infrastructure, land use, map reference, and transportation.
The DVD also includes software for displaying and manipulating the map
features using ArcReader and contains map documents compatible with
ArcGIS.
The DVD set was published by the Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's

contingency planning, response, and natural resource damage assessment;
however, the data can be used for a large diversity of unrestricted
applications and educational purposes.
