How to import .e00 ArcGIS file in GeoPandas
<p>I'm trying to work with files from this site:</p>

<p><a href="ftp://ftp.epa.gov/castnet/tdep/grids/" rel="nofollow">NADP Website</a></p>

<p>The files are <code>.e00</code> format.  When I attempt to open them with GeoPandas, I get a message that they appear to be compressed.</p>

<p>If I try using e00conv or AVCE00 to decompress the files, then open them with GeoPandas, I get a <code>FionaValueError</code>, that no dataset has been found.  </p>

<p>Any suggestions for how I can get these files opened so I can put them in a format I can use?</p>

<p>I can load the decompressed file using <code>np.fromfile</code> but then all I have is a vector.</p>

<p>I finally figured this out.  In this instance, even though the .e00 format is not usually used to store raster file, these files are raster images.  They open fine with rasterio.  </p>
