  Description:
    Abstract:
      This report provides a geologic map of the Peach Orchard Flat 7.5-minute 
        quadrangle, located along the eastern flank of the Washakie Basin, Wyo.  
        Geologic formations and individual coal beds were mapped at a scale of 
        1:24,000; surface stratigraphic sections were measured and described; 
        and well logs were examined to determine coal correlations and 
        thicknesses in the subsurface.  In addition, four lithostratigraphic 
        units were named:  the Red Rim Member of the Upper Cretaceous Lance 
        Formation, and the China Butte, Blue Gap, and Overland Members of the 
        Paleocene Fort Union Formation.
    Purpose:
      The data set was collected as part of a larger effort to acquire data on 
        Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary coal-bearing rocks in the eastern Washakie 
        Basin and southeastern Great Divide Basin.  The report also provides 
        justification and rationale for naming new members in the Upper 
        Cretaceous Lance Formation and Paleocene Fort Union Formation.  Regions 
        in the eastern Washakie Basin and southeastern Great Divide Basin have 
        potential for coal development and were considered previously for coal 
        leasing by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
      In version 1.1 of this map, a correction is made regarding the location of 
        the Overland Member of the Fort Union Formation at its type locality.  The 
        correct location of the top of the measured section is 600 ft from the 
        west line and 1,150 ft from the south line of sec. 34, T. 17 N., R. 92 W., 
        Doty Mountain 7.5-minute quadrangle.

    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: 
      The database consists of newly generated data that were compiled on a 
      scale-stable greenline of the Peach Orchard Flats quadrangle and then 
      digitized in ARC/INFO.  This map was thoroughly reviewed for conformity 
      with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic 
      nomenclature.
  Logical_Consistency_Report: 
    Map elements were visually checked by the authors, cartographers, and editor 
    for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon attributes, and 
    other errors.  The coverages were cleaned in ARC/INFO to ensure logical 
    consistency that is topologically clean.  The map was reviewed by other 
    geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general 
    conformity to USGS mapping standards.
  Completeness_Report: 
    This dataset is complete and includes the spatial coverages pertaining to 
    the geologic map.

        The geology data set of the Peach Orchard Flats quadrangle is intended 
        to be used at a scale of 1:24,000.  It is not intended to be used at a

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        Mapping was based on field observations, analysis of black and white 
        aerial photographs (scale 1:28,000, flown in 1975), topography, and 
        drill-hole data.  The linework was transferred from aerial photographs 
        to base maps using a PG-2 stereo-plotter, and digitized manually, and 
        the data were then digitally registered to a digital version of the base 
        map in ArcInfo.  Geologic cross sections show the subsurface thickness 
        of coal beds in the units of interest.  The cross sections were 
        constructed using stratigraphic sections measured in the field and from 
        borehole electrical logs.
