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

Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1305/

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 were completely
renovated and modernized by Art Bookstrom, using 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 unit polygons
portrayed on the original map, although many of their designations have
changed. The dataset contains all the faults that were portrayed on the
original printed map. Bodies of water are classified as water and
geologic units underlying them are not portrayed.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The geologic map was digitized
from a map compiled at 1:500,000, 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.

Source_Contribution: Provided linework for state boundaries

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Dataset copied from USGS website.

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: The original map had no unit names or descriptions.
Art Bookstrom compiled this information into the accompanying database
tables, in effect, creating a new legend. About 4,000 of nearly 11,000
polygons had their designations changed to conform to this new legend,
and many new units were created. This information is stored in the
SGMC_LABEL field of the PAT. The individual changes are documented in
the SOURCE field of the PAT. The key to what those changes were is in an
accompanying table, IDGEOL_LCC.SOURCE, which can be joined to the PAT
using SOURCE as the key field.

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.
