Hello Prof. McClure: Thanks for the code above. I got it to work on my sample dataset. Apparently the USGS publishes data for 2 different resolutions. Neither worked using Import[]. The code you supplied works correctly with the example I cited. I am still trying to wrap my head around the need for the hh[] construct, since it is apparently not used in the final RepliefPlot invocation. No matter, it got me what I needed. Also, I am hopeful that some future point release of V6 will resolve the issue using the built-in Import[] function. Obviously this would be preferable and hopefully would handle the mutiple resolutions issue as well. And if WRI does not have time to resolve this expeditiously, your code can be enhanced to handle the additional cases. Thanks again. Regards..Roger W.
