Details- I have  USGS DEM (utm 11 NAD 83) and I need to split these into 4 equal quadrants, each with a 100 meter overlap, and export each of these files separately, can this be done? what tools could do this?

so you  want to split it into 4... we will use the clip tool, I am assuming you mixed up East and west

              5,020,000

500,000                   532,100 =>   difference = 32,100  / 2 = 16,050

             4,960,000

N-S difference = 60,000 / 2 = 30,000

bottom left extent

              4,990,100  to give the upper 100 overlap

500,000                  516,150   to give the 100 m overlap

              4, 960,000

repeat for the other 4 quadrants

Clip—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop you just have to do the math by setting the correct extent each time, you can control your bounds.  There are probably fancier ways but this will be the fastest

Im not sure what you mean by control your bounds?? Im new to ESRI my bounds are North 5020,000, South 4960,000, East 500,000, West 532,100. How is this done by setting the extent?
