Interim Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Arches National Park and Vicnity, Utah (NPS, GRD, GRI, ARCH, ARCH digital map) adapted from Utah Geological Survey Maps by (collectively) Doelling, Ross, Kuehne, Yonkee, Hand, Morgan and Mulvey (1994, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2013 and 2014)

The Interim Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Arches National Park and Vicnity, Utah is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data format: 1.) a 10.1 file geodatabase (arch_geology.gdb). The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file (arch_geology.mapx) and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (arch_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, two additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) A GIS readme file (arch_geology_gis_readme.pdf), and 2.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (arch_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the arch_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD).

Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Utah Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (arch_geology_metadata.txt or arch_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in ArcGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).
