Description:

Abstract: This report presents the results of the USGS Mineral Resources
Program activity to compile a national-scale geologic map database to
support national and regional level projects, including mineral resource
and geoenvironmental assessments. The only comprehensive sources of
regional- and national-scale geologic maps are state geologic maps with
scales ranging from 1:100,000 to 1:1,000,000. Digital versions of these
state maps form the core of what is presented here. Because no adequate
geologic map exists for the state of Alaska, it is being compiled in
regional blocks that also form part of this national database. It is
expected that this series will completed by approximately the end of
2007. These maps and databases are being released in blocks of states
or, in the case of Alaska, as compiled blocks of 1:250,000-scale
quadrangles as chapters in this series. For Alaska, formal maps as well
as databases are being published here, whereas for the conterminous U.S.
only state databases and preview graphics are presented, because
published maps for most states already exist. For Alaska these regional
compilations will form the base for compiling a new geologic map of the
state. As documented in Chapter A, standards for the conterminous U.S.
are somewhat different than those for Alaska and Hawaii.

Purpose: A primary goal of this work is to develop geologic map datasets
with standardized structure and attribution. The database design and
standards are documented in Chapter A of this series. The intent is that
contiguous databases can be merged seamlessly and without any additional
effort. In addition to a common database structure, the conterminous
U.S. state databases (the contiguous 48 states) have been fitted to a
set of standard state boundaries so that, when states are merged, they
match without slivers or overlap. No attempt has been made to reconcile
differences in mapping across state boundaries.

Supplemental_Information:

This database consists of five major Arc/Info GIS datasets for each
state;

\- one: geologic map with formations,

\- two: faults (where present),

\- three: dikes (where present),

\- four: miscellaneous line features (where present),

\- five: miscellaneous point features (where present).

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The values of the attributes ROCKTYPE1 and
ROCKTYPE2 were assigned based on the information in the legends of the
source maps (most of which are paper). The definitions of these values
are described in the draft document Geologic Map Classification version
6.1 (Johnson and others); available at the following website:
http://geology.usgs.gov/dm

Logical_Consistency_Report: All internal polygons were checked for
closure with vendor software and on hard copy plots. Overshoots and
undershoots have been deleted or corrected as appropriate.

Completeness_Report: Bodies of water are classified as water, and the
geologic units underlying them are not included in this coverage.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Accuracy of West Virginia state boundary and those arcs intersecting it:
The accuracy of the state boundary arcs is based on the 1:100,000 scale
original data used to produce this boundary. (Johnson, Bruce R. and
Leveritch, Beth, 1998, 1:100,000 Scale State Boundaries of the
Conterminous United States: U.S. Geological Survey, unpublished (see
metadata file: st100kmeta.txt, Chapter A))

Those internal arcs intersecting the state boundary were extended or
shortened as needed to complete polygons, possibly creating a small
amount of error.

Process_Step:

Process_Description: The purpose of this standardization is to allow all
SGMC covers to be seamlessly joined without any additional effort to
form regional or national level digital maps. Note that for Alaska, the
state is being compiled as blocks of 1:250k quadrangles that will
ultimately be used to compile a new state map. Douglas Stoeser and Ric
Wilson are co-coordinators for the overall SGMC effort, with Stoeser
coordinating work on the mainland states and Wilson coordinating work
for Alaska and Hawaii.

Process_Date: 2003 - 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Process_Date: 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The relevant state outline (arcs) was removed from the coverage and
replaced with the arcs from the 1:100,000 Scale State Boundaries of the
Conterminous United States.

This allows for a seamless fit of each state to a standard state
boundary base.

Process_Date: 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The following attributes were exported from Filemaker as a .dbf:

orig_label, map_symbol2, unit_link, reference_id, unit_age, rocktype1,
and rocktype2.

orig_label reflects the original map symbol used on the source map

map_symbol2 reflects map-symbol1 with the addition of a province number

unit_link is an auto generated field based on map-symbol2 and the state
abbreviation (e.g. IN001) that produces a unique identifier for each map
unit

reference_id was populated with an alphanumeric code (e.g. US001) that
designates the source used for the linework and other references used to
describe the age or lithologies of the unit.

unit_age was populated with general age assignment

rocktype1 records dominant lithology (must be \>50% of unit), using
standardized data dictionary

rocktype2 records second most dominant lithology, using standardized
data dictionary

The attributes were then converted using the following structure:

item name: orig_label

width: 12

output: 12

type: c

item name: sgmc_label

width: 16

output: 16

type: c

item name: unit_link

width: 18

output: 18

type: c

item name: source

width: 6

output: 8

type: c

item name: unit_age

width: 60

output: 60

type: c

item name: rocktype1

width: 40

output: 40

type: c

item name: rocktype2

width: 40

output: 40

type: c

Process_Date: 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Once the .dbf was in the correct format with
standardized column widths and data structure, it was converted into a
lookup table (.lut) in Arc/Info. Then a joinitem was performed to join
the look-up table to the polygon attribute table. orig_label was used as
the merge item.

Process_Date: 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Next, in preparing the uniform .aat file, the following items were added
to the table:

item name: arc-code

width: 3

output: 3

type: i

item name: arc-para1

width: 3

output: 3

type: i

item name: arc-para2

width: 3

output: 3

type: i

item name: source

width: 6

output: 8

type: c

Process_Date: 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Arc-code was populated using the paper map source to tag the lines using
the AAT line type data dictionary (see Chapter A in this series).

Arc-para1 was populated when additional information was available such
as identifying the upthrown side of a fault or direction of thrusting on
a fault. (see Chapter A)

Arc-para2 is a scratch field that is used mostly in Alaska.

Source was populated with an alphanumeric code (e.g. US001) that
designates the source used for the linework.

Process_Date: 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Once the .aat and the .pat were populated with the correct attributes,
the coverage was exported as an .e00 file (KY_geol_lcc.e00).

Then it was unprojected into geographic coordinates and exported again
(KY_geol_dd.e00).

Process_Date: 2004

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Faults were extracted from the coverage and created
a separate fault coverage (KY_faults_lcc) and then exported
(KY_faults_lcc.e00).

Process_Date: 2005

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Finally, the geology lines and geology polygons
were converted into shapefiles; in both geographic coordinates and in
Lambert Conformal Conic projection.
