Title:

Preliminary integrated geologic map databases for the United States - Western States - California, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map

Description:

Abstract:

These digital maps are a reformulation of previously published maps, primarily maps of states. The reformulation gives all the maps the same structure and format, allowing them to be combined into regional maps. The associated data tables have information about age and lithology of the map units, also in a standard format.

Purpose:

Provide digital maps and databases that, because of their common structure and format, allow creation of regional maps that depict age and lithology of map units.

Supplemental_Information:

The data is provided in decimal degrees and in Lambert Conformal Conic projection. The data is provided in both coverage and shapefile format, and includes supplemental attribute tables. No attempt was made to reconcile differences in mapping across state boundaries.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Map unit designations follow original compilation faithfully. Some units were subdivided into regional units by SDL and PAS. Additional information about age and lithology was obtained from the paper map legend and geologic literature.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

All internal polygons were checked for closure. Overshoots and undershoots have been deleted or corrected as appropriate.

Completeness_Report:

The dataset contains all the map units and faults that were portrayed on the original printed map. Bodies of water and ice are classified as water and ice, and geologic units underlying them are not portrayed.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The geologic map was digitized from compilations ranging in scale from 1:100,000 to 1:1,000,000, and is an accurate representation of the source map. It is intended to be used at scales equal to or smaller than 1:500,000. Display at significantly larger scales may produce error in location of contacts or faults relative to features contained in other data sets. The state boundary arcs are based on the 1:100,000 scale USGS topographic map series digital line graphs.

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Dataset copied from the CD-ROM.

Process_Date: 2005

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Adjusted the perimeter of the coverage to match a reference dataset of state boundaries derived from 1:100,000 scale digital line graphs. This allows the map to be used together with adjoining state maps referenced to the same boundary data. The state boundaries have a source of US001 in the AAT.

Process_Date: 2005

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Following standard items were added to AAT: ARC-CODE, ARC-PARA1, ARC-PARA2 (last two not used). ARC-CODE was populated using the line codes in the original coverage and inspection of the printed map. Original items in AAT were deleted.

Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

A few arcs were added, to conform to the printed map. These were given a SOURCE of OR101.

Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Following standard items were added to PAT: ORIG_LABEL, SGMC_LABEL, UNIT_LINK, SOURCE, UNIT_AGE, ROCKTYPE1, and ROCKTYPE2. ORIG_LABEL was populated from the original coverage item, and the other information was obtained from the accompanying database tables (ORunits, ORage, ORlith). Unneeded items were then deleted from the PAT.

Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

SDL changed SGMC designation of one poly to correct a typographical error (SOURCE = OR201)

Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

SDL changed the SGMC designation of a number of polys (primarily removing queries), to conform to information in the Oregon Geologic Data Compilation (OGDC-2) provided by the State of Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. This CD-ROM is available for purchase, only from Nature of the Northwest (<http://www.naturenw.org/cgi-bin/quikstore.pl?store=maps&product=001419/>). These changes are identified by SOURCE = OR902.

Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

SDL changed the SMGC designation of a number of polys (primarily removing queries), because the queries are no longer necessary in the context of the entire map. These changes are identified by SOURCE = OR903.

Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

BCM changed the SGMC designation of a number of polygons to conform to the printed map. These changes are identified by SOURCE = OR904.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

BCM changed the SGMC designation of a number of polygons to conform to information in OGDC-2. These changes are identified by SOURCE = OR905.

Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

BCM changed the SGMC designation of 3 polys from 'water' to 'ice' to conform to the printed map. These changes are identified by SOURCE = OR906.
