The document describes the Topo TNM Style Template, which provides an efficient way to create maps that follow US Topo specifications. The template includes an ArcMap file with layout, symbology and labeling rules configured for US Topo. It also includes a file geodatabase with related datasets and a details table for map configuration. Using the template and vector data downloaded from The National Map allows users to quickly generate accurate US Topo maps without having to manually configure each element.

Editor's Notes
- #9: GU_* and NHD* data are SELECTED CellGrid, Elev, LandCover, Struct, Trans, TNMDerivedNames are Clipped Easily linked to the Style Template
- #10: Products available as of August 23, 2016
- #11: TNM derived names are a filtered and enriched version of GNIS point features that are specifically generated for US Topo products. TNM derived names are currently ONLY delivered in the Topo Map Vector Data product
- #18: US Topo Vector Wetlands: US Topo shows a subset of NWI features US Topo uses a snapshot of NWI data (2014) NWI Wetland areas may not integrate with hydrographic or woodland features http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Data-Download.html NWI Wetlands Services (in Topo TNM Style Template): US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Web Map Service is included in Topo TNM Style Template Contains cartographic representation to mimic historic USGS wetland symbol NWI Wetland areas may not integrate with hydrographic or woodland features
