    <abstract displayLabel="Abstract">This raster layer is a100-meter resolution land and water mask in (GeoTIFF format) of the conterminous Alaska, with separate values for oceans and for land areas of the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, and Cuba. This layer is part of the 1997-2014 edition of the National Atlas of the United States.</abstract>
    <note displayLabel="Purpose" type="other">This 100-meter resolution mask image is not intended to be shown as a map layer. Instead, it is a cartographic tool that may be used to identify, select, and adjust areas on other 100-meter resolution image data sets distributed by the National Atlas of the United States.</note>
    <note displayLabel="Supplemental information" type="other">The following pixel values are used in this map layer: &gt;100 Ocean &gt;200 Land ? United States &gt;210 Land ? Canada &gt;240 Land ? Russia Included with the GeoTIFF are an auxiliary information file (.aux.xml), an image overview file (.ovr), a value attribute database file (.vat.dbf), a .tfw file (more information included below), and a .prj file (more information included below.)
