  Description:

    Abstract:

      The digital map publication, compiled from previously published

      and unpublished data and new mapping by the author, represents

      the general distribution of surficial and bedrock geology in Pipe

      Spring National Monument and vicinity, including the following

      1:24,000-scale U.S.  Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangles:

      Moccasin, Kaibab, Pipe Valley, and Pipe Spring.  Together with

      the accompanying geologic description pamphlet, it presents

      current knowledge of the geologic structure and stratigraphy of

      the area covered.  The database identifies map units that are

      classified by age and lithology following the stratigraphic

      nomenclature of the USGS.  The scale of the source maps limits

      the spatial resolution (scale) of the database to 1:24,000 or

      smaller.  Note: The extent of this database conforms to the

      boundaries of the four quadrangles listed above; however, the

      topographic base maps produced by the USGS for the Moccasin and

      Kaibab quadrangles extend slightly to the north of the 37-degree

      latitude line that should define the northern limit of these 7.5-

      minute quadrangles.  Thus, if this database is overlain with a

      digital file of quadrangle boundaries there is a mismatch.

    Purpose:

      The geologic map of Pipe Spring National Monument and the Western

      Kaibab-Paiute Indian Reservation covers part of the Uinkaret

      Plateau of the Arizona Strip north of Grand Canyon National Park

      and west of Fredonia, Arizona.  The map is a cooperative project

      between the U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, and the

      Kaibab-Paiute Tribe.  The map fills in one of the remaining areas

      where uniform quality geologic mapping is needed.  The geologic

      information will be useful for geologic, biologic, and hydrologic

      resource studies.

  Use_Constraints:

    Uses of this digital geologic map should not violate the spatial

    resolution of the map area (1:24,000) even though the digital data

    form removes the constraint of scale on a paper map.  The accuracy

    inherent in map scale is also present in digital format.  At a

    scale larger than 1:24,000, higher resolution data is not available

    and will not yield greater real detail.  Where this database is used

    in combination with other data of higher resolution, the resolution

    of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution of

    these data.

    

    Any hardcopies utilizing these datasets shall clearly indicate

    their source.  If users modify the data in any way they are

    obligated to describe the types of modifications they have

    performed.  User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these

    datasets, nor to imply that changes they made were approved by

    the U.S. Geological Survey.

  Attribute_Accuracy:

    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

      This report has undergone two scientific peer reviews, one digital

      database review, one review for conformity with geologic names

      policy, and review of the plotfiles for conformity with USGS map

      standards.

  Logical_Consistency_Report:

    Polygon and chain-node topology present.  Polygons internal to the

    map boundary are completely enclosed by line segments which are

    themselves a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs.  Point

    data are represented by coordinate pairs.  The neatline was

    mathematically generated from latitude and longitude values.

    Monument and the Western Kaibab-Paiute Indian Reservation is

    designed to describe completely the surficial and bedrock geology

    at a 1:31,680 scale on the map and 1:24,000 scale for the database.

    Geologic information only mappable at a larger scale has been

    omitted.  All geospatial database elements are attributed.

    Process_Step:

      Process_Description:

        This map was produced using 1:24,000-scale 1976 infrared and

        2003 color aerial photographs followed by extensive field

        checking.  Many of the Quaternary alluvial deposits that have

        similar lithology but different geomorphic characteristics

        were mapped almost entirely by photogeologic methods.

        Stratigraphic position and amount of erosional degradation

        were used to determine relative ages of alluvial deposits

        having similar lithologies.  Each map unit and structure was

        investigated in detail in the field to ensure accuracy of

        description.

    Process_Step:

      Process_Description:

        Geologic features were identified on aerial photographs, then

        hand-drawn by inspection on 1:24,000-scale paper USGS

        topographic base maps.  These base maps were scanned on an

        HP800 scanner/copier at 300 dpi and saved in TIFF format.  The

        TIFF files were each georeferenced in ArcMap to the

        corresponding 1:24,000-scale USGS digital raster graphic (DRG).

        The geologic features were then heads-up digitized in Arcview

        3.2 using the scanned base maps and the DRGs as a guide;

        digitizing scale was approximately 1:10,000.  Geologic contacts,

        faults, and folds were digitized as line shapefiles; geologic

        units, collapse structures, and structural attitudes were

        digitized as point shapefiles.  These shapefiles were converted

        to ARC/INFO coverages.  The line coverage containing geologic

        contacts and faults was combined with the point coverage

        containing geologic unit designations to produce a polygon

        coverage that stores depositional contacts, rock units, and

        faults.  All coverages and associated features and attribute

        tables were edited as needed to achieve an error-free database.

  Overview_Description:

    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

      The Geologic Map of Pipe Spring National Monument and the Western

      Kaibab-Paiute Indian Reservation, Mohave County, Northwestern

      Arizona includes four geospatial datasets as ARC/INFO coverages:

      pispglg (geology), pispfld (folds), pispatd (fault offsets and

      strike and dip point data), pispkar (collapse structures).

      Geospatial entities in ARC/INFO coverages have the following

      software-defined attributes: <cover>.pat contains AREA, PERIMETER,

      COVER#, and COVER-ID; <cover>.aat contains FNODE#, TNODE#, LPOLY#,

      RPOLY#, LENGTH, COVER#, and COVER-ID.  User-defined attributes

      are described in detail below.



      (1) The coverage pispglg includes the following feature attribute

      tables: (a) a polygon feature attribute table (pispglg.pat) that

      describes the geospatial distribution of surficial units

      represented in the Postscript (.eps) and Portable Document Format

      (.pdf) plotfiles of the map.  (b) an arc feature attribute table

      (pispglg.aat) that describes the contacts and linear features

      that bound rock-unit polygons.  For display purposes, the pispglg

      coverage includes an annotation class which contains line types

      and arcmarker symbols derived from the coded items LTYPE and

      PTTYPE respectively.



      (2) The coverage pispfld includes an arc feature attribute table

      (pispfld.aat) that describes linear features (folds).  For

      display purposes, the pispfld coverage includes an annotation

      class which contains line types and arcmarker symbols derived

      from the coded items LTYPE and PTTYPE respectively.  Arrowheads

      indicating plunging folds are drawn based on values in the coded

      item PLUNGE.

      

      (3) The coverage pispatd includes the following: (a) a point

      feature attribute table (pispatd.pat) that describes the position

      of point data including fault offsets and strike and dip.

      Symbols are derived from the item PTTYPE, fault offset in feet

      is derived from item FLT_OFF, dip angle in degrees is from item

      DIP, and strike angle in degrees is in item STRIKE.  (b) pispatd

      also contains annotation for dip values.

      

      (4) The coverage pispkar includes a point feature attribute table

      (pispkar.pat) that describes the position of collapse structure

      point data. Symbols are derived from coded item PTTYPE.

            relative offset between the rock bodies on either side

            units and it's trace is fairly apparent, so it is not
