What is a ADF File Type?

An ArcInfo grid may contain several layers, forming a stack of layers. The ADF files can store metadata on the matrix or on real matrix data. When creating a binary grid the files dblbnd.adf, hdr.adf, sta.adf, vat.adf and w001001x.adf provide metadata on the raster grid, while the file w001001.adf contains the actual raster data. They are usually separated into their own folder so that they are easy to manage as a complete set of grid coverage.
