INTRODUCTION

General

Open-File Report OF 98-579 version 1.1 contains a digital geologic map and map database of the Fawnskin 7.5’ 

quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California that includes:

1. ARC/INFO (Environmental Systems Research Institute, http://www.esri.com) version 7.2.1 double precision 

coverages of the various elements of the geologic map 

2. A PostScript file to plot the geologic map on a topographic base, and containing a Correlation of Map Units 

diagram, and Description of Map Units.

3. Portable Document Format (.pdf) files of:

a. This Readme; includes in Appendix I, data contained in fskn_met.txt

b. The same graphic as plotted in 2 above. (Test plots from this .pdf do not produce 1:24,000-scale

Maps. Adobe Acrobat pagesize settings control map scale.)

This release includes features not found in most other digital geologic maps, in that all polygons, lines, and points in 

the coverage are encoded with detailed, comprehensive geologic data contained in six INFO data tables (.rel) (see 

Matti and others, 1998a, 1998b, and 1998c for information on how the encoding may be accessed and utilized). No 

paper map is included in the Open-File report, but a PostScript plot file containing an image of the geologic map sheet, 

topographic base, Correlation of Map Units (CMU), and detailed Description of Map Units (DMU) is. The Correlation 

of Map Units and Description of Map Units is in the editorial format of USGS Miscellaneous Investigations Series (Iseries) maps but has not been edited to comply with I-map standards. Within the geologic map data package, map units 

are identified by standard geologic map criteria such as formation-name, age, and lithology. Even though this is an 

author-prepared report, every attempt has been made to closely adhere to the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U. S. 
3

Geological Survey. Descriptions of units can be obtained by viewing or plotting the .pdf file (3b above) or plotting the 

postscript file (2 above). If roads in some areas, especially roads that parallel topographic contours, do not show well 

on plots of the geologic map, we recommend use of the USGS Fawnskin 7.5’ topographic quadrangle in conjunction 

with the geologic map.

This README file describes the digital data, such as types and general contents of files making up the database, and 

includes information on how to extract and plot the map and accompanying graphic file. Metadata information can be 

accessed at http://geo-nsdi.er.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/publication?map-of and is included in Appendix I, Readme.

HOW TO OBTAIN PAPER PLOTS

Paper plots may be made on large-format plotters such as HP650C, HP755C, and HP2500C directly from the included 

PostScript plot file. At this time, the USGS does not make or distribute plots of Open-File maps.

SOFTWARE UTILITIES

Files which have .gz file extension were compressed using gzip. Gzip utilities are available free of charge via the 

internet at the gzip home page, http://www.gzip.org

The data package is additionally bundled into a single tar (tape archive) file. Individual files must be extracted using a 

tar utility, available free of charge via the internet through links on the Common Internet File Formats page, 
5

http://www.matisse.net/files/formats.html. One such utility is WinZip, available at http://www.winzip.com (WinZip 

can also decompress files).

Files in the plot package have been prepared to produce optimum plots using the shade, and marker sets listed below.

HOW TO OBTAIN THE DIGITAL FILES

The export files, and subsequently the data and plot files, constituting the geologic map database of this Open-File Map 

may be obtained in two ways, both over the Internet. 

1. The files can be obtained via the Web from Western Region Geologic Information Server. Go to 

the web page at http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of98-579 and follow the directions to 

download the files.

2. The files can also be obtained by anonymous ftp over the Internet from wrgis.wr.usgs.gov. The 

files are located in the directory /pub/open-file/of98-579. Be sure to use binary transfer mode or 

ASCII mode for individual .e00 files (ARC interchange file format).

3. Metadata can be obtained at http://geo-nsdi.er.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/publication?open-file

HOW TO EXTRACT THE GEOLOGIC MAP DATABASE FROM THE TAR FILE

After downloading the files, they must be uncompressed using a gzip utility such as gzip itself or WinZip. The data 

files must then be extracted using a tar utility.

This process will create a directory, fskn/, that contains the ARC/INFO interchange files and supporting files. The 

directory should contain the following files:

fskn/

fskn_geo.e00

fskn_pts.e00

fskn_str.e00

fskn_orn.e00

fskn_ldr.e00

Portable Document Format (.pdf) files

PDF files are not stored as gzip files. They are accessed using Adobe Acrobat Reader software, available free 

from the Adobe website http://www.adobe.com. Follow instructions at the website to download and install the 

software. Acrobat Reader contains an on-line manual and tutorial.

HOW TO CONVERT THE ARC/INFO INTERCHANGE (EXPORT) FILES

The ARC interchange (.e00) files are converted to ARC coverages using the ARC command IMPORT.

ARC interchange files can also be read by some other Geographic Information Systems, including ArcView (ESRI) 

and MapInfo (http://www.mapinfo.com) (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc, 1991). Please consult your 

GIS documentation to see if you can use ARC interchange files and the procedure to import them. 

DIGITAL GEOLOGIC MAP SPECIFICATIONS

Digital and geologic compilation of geologic map

The geologic map information was hand digitized from a base-stable original (ink on a greenline) of the geologic 

map at 1:24,000 scale. Digital tics were placed by hand at latitude/longitude intersections. The lines, points, and 

polygons were edited using standard ARC/INFO commands, and in some places, interactively by hand using 

graphical user interface ALACARTE (Fitzgibbon, 1991, Fitzgibbon and Wentworth, 1991, Wentworth and 

Fitzgibbon, 1991). Digitizing and editing artifacts significant enough to display at a scale of 1:24,000 were 

corrected.

Base map

The base map image (fskn.tif, Geotiff format) was prepared by scanning a scale-stable clear film of the U.S 

Geological Survey, 1:24,000 Fawnskin 7. 5′ quadrangle (1967) topographic map. Scanning was done using an 

Anatech Eagle 4080 monochrome 800 dpi scanner at a resolution of 500 dpi. The raster scan was converted to a 

monochromatic image in ARC/INFO, and registered and rectified to the Fawnskin 7.5′ quadrangle. No elements 

of the base layer are attributed. The base map is provided for reference only.

Spatial resolution

Use of this digital geologic map database should not violate the spatial resolution of the data. Although the digital 

form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in 

map scale are also present in the digital data. The fact that this database was edited at a scale of 1:24,000 means 

that higher resolution information is not generally present in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 
7

will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities above the intended resolution of 

the database. Similarly, although higher resolution data is incorporated at some places, the resolution of the 

combined output will be limited by the lower resolution data.

Map accuracy standards

Until uniform National geologic map accuracy standards are developed and adopted, lines and points on SCAMP 

1:24,000 scale geologic maps that are located to within 15 meters, relative to accurately located features on the 

base map, are considered to meet map accuracy standards. Dashed lines, indicated in the database coding as not 

meeting map accuracy standards, are generally located to within 30 meters, relative to accurately located features 

on the base map.

Database specifics

General—The map database consists of ARC/INFO format coverages which are stored in polyconic projection 

(Table 1), and a series of data tables. Digital tics define a 7.5-minute grid of latitude and longitude in the geologic 

coverages corresponding to the 7.5-minute tic grid on the topographic base map.

The content of the geologic database can be described in terms of feature classes that include lines, points, and 

areas that comprise the map. See the metadata text file (Appendix I) for detailed descriptions.

Lines—Lines are recorded as strings of arcs and are described in an arc attribute (.aat) table in Appendix I. They

represent contacts and faults which define the boundaries of map units and map boundaries.

Polygons—Geologic map units (polygons) are described in the polygon attribute table in Appendix I. In addition, 

using a system developed under the Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP), the Lakeview 

quadrangle is encoded with detailed, polygon-specific geologic information on a polygon-by-polygon basis, so that 

within the quadrangle, lateral variations in a particular map unit can be recorded in the map database. For 

traditional descriptions of the map units, see the Portable Document Format file fskn_map.pdf. A list of all map 

units in the database is given in Appendix I.

Points—Point information (attitudes of planar and linear features, and line ornamentation) is recorded as 

coordinate and related information and is given in Appendix I.

Overview of data table (.rel) contents—In each data table the items TAG (polygons), L-TAG (lines), and P-TAG 

(points) are the common items enabling users to establish relate environments that provide flexibility and access to 

as much or as little of the encoded, detailed geologic data as required (A complete description of the line, point, 

and polygont data coding schemes is available in Matti and others, 1998a, b, and c).

Data Table Attribute Data

fawnskin_summary.rel - contains general, geologic information about age,
8

 rock type, rock-unit classification, and origin

fawnskin_lithology. rel - contains lithologic attributes for each of five major

rock types that occur within a geologic-map rock unit

fawnskin _structure. rel - contains geologic-structure attributes for each of

the major rock types

fawnskin _genesis. rel -contains summary attribute data describing the genesis

of each of the major rock types

fawnskin _protolith. rel -contains protolith attribute data for each of the major

fawnskin_paleontology.rel -contains summary information about fossil types

in each of the major rock types

lines.rel -line dictionary that contains a full description of each

line type

points.rel -point dictionary that contains a full description of each

point type

Coded detailed geologic data—Up to ten data files, consisting of one selected data file and nine related data files 

can be temporarily joined using the RELATE command. The following is an example of how to establish a simple 

relate environment and the ARC/INFO dialogue the user will encounter.

At the Arc prompt, type: relate add

Dialogue for ADD

Relation name: name of relate you want to establish

Table identifier: pathname or database table name of the data file

Database name: name of the database in which the data file is stored

Info item: the item name in an INFO data file from which the relate is performed

Relate column: the field in the related table which is related to the INFO item

Relate type: the type of relate performed—one of the following four: LINEAR, 

ORDERED, LINK, TABLE. LINEAR is the slowest, but the simplest to 

apply. (Please consult ARC/INFO online help topic such as ‘working 

with tables’ for help on selection of relate type)

Relate access: the access rights to the related file: RW, or RO, or AUTO

The table below shows an example using files from the Fawnskin database.

Arc: relate add

Relation name: carbonate

Table identifier: fawnskin_lithology.rel

Database name: info

INFO item: tag

Relate column: tag

Relate type: linear

Relate access: rw

To save a particular relate environment:

Arc: relate save <name of relate>

To restore a particular relate environment:

Arc: relate restore <name of relate>
9

To use the relate environment in the selection process:

select <relate name>//<item> cn ‘.search target.’

An example using Lakeview data:

Ae: select carbonate//lith2 cn ‘.SEDLC.’

Only the polygon data structure is described below, but the line and point data have similar structure. Coding is 

accomplished through the use of alpha-numeric characters separated by parsing symbols, dots (.) that separate 

primary attribute data, and hyphens (-) that separate secondary attribute data. The data base is structured to mimic 

geologists’ methods of describing geologic units and their attributes, that is, beginning with general observations 

and expanding to progressively more specific details. To parallel this process, the polygon-attribute data base is 

organized into the following topics:

General features

Major rock type

Geologic age

General origin

Lithology

Specific rock type

Outcrop character

Composition

Geologic structures

Protolith (metamorphic and high-strain rocks)

Genesis of specific rock types

Petrography

Paleontology

Geotechnical properties

Penetration resistance

Shear-wave velocity

Magnetic susceptibility

Typically, geologic descriptions are a series of phrases linking various attributes of a map unit. The following example 

of a unit description and the corresponding coding might best illustrate how the SCAMP encoding system is organized 

and utilized:

Description: Mill Creek Formation (Miocene)

Main rock-type of Mill Creek Formation is quartzofeldspathic sandstone that is ledgeforming, very pale 

brown to pale yellow, medium to thick-bedded, well cemented, poorly sorted, pebbly, fine to very coarse 

sand-size, flat-laminated to ripple-laminated, with rounded pebbles of basalt. Secondary rock type 

interlayered with main rock type consists of mudrock that is clay-rich, slope-forming, grayish green to 

brown, laminated to indistinctly bedded, consolidated to indurated, texturally massive to flat-laminated, 

mud-cracked locally, having calcareous concretions and trace fossils.

In addition to these two lithologic types, the Mill Creek Formation is also:

locally broken by numerous small faults, and all occurrences of the map unit are laced by networks of 

randomly-oriented fractures, most open but some partially closed with zeolitic cement.

Coding for this unit, given below, reflects the lithologic complexity, and allows search-and-retrieval analysis which 

targets geologic categories that are as broad or as narrow as the map-user requires. This coding scheme emphasizes 

relations among related geologic attributes, but also allows clear separation among non-related attributes. The 

following coding also illustrates how specific data are arranged in INFO data tables.

Searching the database—The digital database of the Fawnskin quadrangle can be searched in a number of ways—

each requiring a basic understanding of both the database structure and ARC/INFO’s logical expression syntax in order 

to take full advantage of ARC/INFO’s selection tools. ARC/INFO has a number of selection commands that require 

the user to construct simple, logical expressions.

For example: Area GT 1000

<operand1> <logical operation><operand2>

Using a selection command (select) the user would be asking for areas greater than 1000 m2

ARC/INFO selection commands

SELECT Selects features or data items
11

ASELECT Adds to your selected set of items or features

UNSELECT Removes selected features from your group of selected items.

RESELECT Selects a subset of items our of your group of selected items.

NSELECT Unselects all of your currently selected items and selects all those you did not have selected.

All of the selection commands except for NSELECT can be used in conjunction with logical expressions of operators 

and connectors so that you can select for or against any item that is coded in the database. The table below illustrates 

some ways to search the polygon data base. The examples use code sentences from two different polygon types (Item 1 

and Item 2), using the data-base fields LABL and LITH1 (in LITHOLOGY.rel):

Item 1 Item 2

LABL: Qal Qyf

LITH1: .SDE.ESE.TES.TES.ZXE.SEES.MESE. .SDE.ESE.TES.TES.ZXE.SEEB.MEII.

For Items 1 and 2 the two code sentences clearly are related, but they differ slightly in their last two codes.

OperatorExample expression Explanation

CN Select LITH1 cn ‘.SEES.’ This is a whole word search which would select sentence one 

above

CN Select LITH1 cn ‘.SEE’ This is a prefix search that will select all items containing a 

code stringword with the prefix SEE. In this case both 

sentence one and two would be selected

CN Select LITH1 cn ‘.SEES.’ This example uses a logical connector, AND, which 

and LABL cn ‘Qal’ would select all items that contain SEES

and also are of type Qal. In this case, sentence one would be 

selected

The user can substitute any logical operator or logical connector to search and select for and/or against any 

combination of items coded in the database. Some of the operators and connectors that are useful 

include:

Operators:

CN Contains

NC Not containing

Connectors:

AND Only items for which the expressions on both side of the AND are true will be 

selected

OR Items for which the expressions on either side of the OR will be selected

XOR Items for which ONLY one of the expressions on either side of the XOR are true 
12

will be selected

Query and search of version 1.0 of the Lakeview database will provide the user with CODED output which 

will require reference to the alphabetical list of polygon attribute codes and their respective 

explanations

contained in the ASCII text file (poly_attrib_code.txt) included in the database package, fskn.tar.gz. or in 

the pdf file poly_attrib_code.pdf.

 Description:

 Abstract:

 This data set maps and describes the geology of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle, San Bernardino

 County, California and contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed

 field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs. The geologic map covers part

 of the northern San Bernardino Mountains. Bedrock units in the San Bernardino Mountains are

 dominated by large Cretaceous and Jurassic granitic bodies ranging in composition from

 monzogranite to gabbro, and include lesser Triassic monzonite. These granitic rocks intrude

 highly faulted and folded Late Proterozoic and Paleozoic formations representative of those

 found in the southern Great Basin. Low-angle thrust faults, many of them complexly folded,

 cut the Late Proterozoic and Paleozoic formations. A large, deformed cataclastic zone in

 the western part of the quadrangle cuts pre-Late Cretaceous units, and is intruded by Late

 Cretaceous plutons. Spanning the Pleistocene in age, large alluvial fans flank the north

 side of the mountains, and are dominated by debris flow deposits. Young, south dipping

 reverse faults, some with moderately to well eroded fault scarps, discontinuously flank the

 northern edge of the mountains. Young and old high-angle faults are mapped within the range.

 

 Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the database

 consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage containing faults, geologic contacts and

 units, (2) a coverage showing structural point data, (3) a coverage containing linear

 structural data, (4) a coverage showing geologic line ornamentation and (5) six additional

 INFO data tables (.rel) that contain detailed, coded, geologic information such as texture,

 fabric, color, and mineralogy,. These additional data are accessible to the user through

 the utilization of ARC/INFO relate environments and provide the user access to as much or as

 little of the encoded data as required. In addition, the data set includes the following

 graphic and text products: (1) A PostScript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map,

 topography, cultural data, a Correlation of Map Units (CMU) diagram, a Description of Map

 Units (DMU), and a key for point and line symbols; (2) PDF files of this Readme (including

 the metadata file as an appendix), Description of Map Units (DMU), and a screen graphic of

 the plot produced by the PostScript plot file.

 

 The geologic map database contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by

 detailed field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs. Within the
14

 database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units as polygons, and

 site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and

 .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum.

 

 Version 1.1 of this digital release differs from Version 1.0 mainly by changes and additions

 to conform to the more recently released digital geologic map of the Butler Peak quadrangle

 (OF 00-145), which adjoins the Fawnskin quadrangle on the west. Along the western edge of

 the quadrangle several polygons of Quaternary units are added and the names of several are

 changed. Colors of some granitic units are changed to conform to colors assigned to the

 same units in the Butler Peak quadrangle. 

 Purpose:

 The data set for the Fawnskin quadrangle has been prepared by the Southern California Areal

 Mapping Project (SCAMP), a cooperative project sponsored jointly by the U.S. Geological

 Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology, as part of an ongoing effort to

 utilize a Geographical Information System (GIS) format to create a regional digital geologic

 database for southern California. This regional database is being developed as a

 contribution to the National Geologic Map Data Base of the National Cooperative Geologic

 Mapping Program ofthe USGS. Development of the data set for the Fawnskin quadrangle has also

 been supported by the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest.

 

 The digital geologic map database for the Fawnskin quadrangle has been created as a

 general-purpose data set that is applicable to other land-related investigations in the

 earth and biological sciences. For example, the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino

 National Forest, is using the database as part of a study of an endangered plant species,

 California Buckwheat, that shows preference for particular rock types. The Fawnskin

 database is not suitable for site-specific geologic evaluations at scales greater than

 1:24,000 (1 in = 2,000 ft). 

 Supplemental_Information:

 Within the geologic map database, map units are identified by standard geologic map criteria

 such as formation-name, age, and lithology. The authors have attempted to adhere to the

 stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey and the North American

 Stratigraphic Code, but the database has not received a formal editorial review of geologic

 names.

 

 Geologic map unit labels entered in database items LABL and PLABL contain substitute

 characters for conventional stratigraphic age symbols: Cambrian appears as 'C' in LABL and

 as '_' in PLABL, Mesozoic appears as 'Mz' in LABL and as '}' in PLABL, Pennsylvanian as 'P'

 in LABL and as '&' in PLABL, Triassic appears as 'Tr' in LABL and as '^' in PLABL, and

 Proterozoic appears as 'Pr' in LABl and as '<' in PLABL. The substitute characters in PLABL

 invoke their corresponding symbols from the GeoAge font group to generate map unit labels

 with conventional stratigraphic symbols.

 Access_Constraints: None

 Use_Constraints:

 The Fawnskin 7.5' geologic-map database should be used to evaluate and understand the

 geologic character of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle as a whole. The data should not be used

 for purposes of site-specific land-use planning or site-specific geologic evaluations. The

 database is sufficiently detailed to identify and characterize geologic materials and

 structures. However, it is not sufficiently detailed for site-specific determinations.

 

 Use of this digital geologic map database should not violate the spatial resolution of the

 data. Although the digital form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of

 a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in the digital

 data. The fact that this database was compiled and edited at a scale of 1:24,000 means that

 higher resolution information may not have been uniformly retained in the dataset. Plotting

 at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal

 fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the database. Similarly,

 although higher resolution data is incorporated in most of the map, the resolution of the

 combined output will be limited by the lower resolution data.

 Data_Set_Credit:

 Technical review by Douglas M. Morton led to significant improvements that eventually were

 reflected in aspects of the database, the plot file, and in the description of the geologic

 units of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle. Digital review by R.W. Grymer allowed us to produce a

 much improved product.

 

 Geologic mapping and digital preparation of this report were sponsored jointly by (1) the

 National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey, (2) the

 California Division of Mines and Geology, and (3) the Southern California Areal Mapping

 Project (SCAMP). In our digital preparation of the data set, initiated in the SCAMP

 Geographic Information System laboratory in Riverside, California by Gregory Morton and

 completed in the Geographic Information System laboratory of the Mineral Resources Program

 of the U.S. Geological Survey in Spokane, Washington by Pamela M. Cossette, we received

 valuable assistance from Paul C. Hyndman in Spokane, Washington, and from Rachel Alvarez in

 Riverside.

 Attribute_Accuracy:

 Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

 Geologic-map units in the Fawnskin quadrangle database were described using standard field

 methods. Consistent with these methods, the database author has assigned standard geologic

 attributes to geologic lines, points, and polygons identified in the database.

 

 Nation-wide geologic-map accuracy standards have not been developed and adopted by the U.S. 

 Geological Survey and other earth-science entities. Until such standards are adopted, the

 SCAMP project has developed internal map-accuracy standards for 1:24,000-scale geologic maps

 produced by the project.

 

 Geologic lines and points on 1:24,000 scale geologic maps are judged to meet SCAMP's
17

 internal map-accuracy standards if they are located to within 15 meters, relative to

 topographic or cultural features on the base map.

 

 Lines and points that meet (or may not meet) this SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are

 identified both in the digital database and on derivative geologic-map plots. Within the

 database, line and point data that are judged to meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy

 standard are denoted by the attribute code .MEE. (meets) in the appropriate data table;

 line and point data that may not meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted

 by the attribute code .MNM. (may not meet).

 

 On any derivative geologic-map plot, line data that are judged to meet the SCAMP internal

 map-accuracy standard are denoted by solid lines; line data that may not meet the SCAMP

 internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by dashed or dotted lines. There is no

 cartographic device for denoting the map-accuracy for geologic-point data (eg. symbols

 representing bedding, foliation, lineations, etc.). 

 Logical_Consistency_Report:

 Polygon and chain-node topology present.

 

 The areal extent of the map is represented digitally by an appropriately projected

 (polyconic projection), mathematically generated box. Consequently, polygons intersecting

 the lines that comprise the map boundary are closed by that boundary. 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. 

 Completeness_Report:

 The geologic map and digital database of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle, version 1.1, contain

 new data that have been subjected to rigorous review and are a substantially complete

 representation of the current state of knowledge concerning the geology of the quadrangle. 

 Positional_Accuracy:

 Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

 Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

 The maximum transformation RMS error acceptable for 7.5' quadrangle transformation and data

 input is 0.003 (1.8 meters). Horizontal positional accuracy was checked by visual

 comparison of hard-copy plots with base-stable source data.

 Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

 The digital geologic map of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle includes five geospatial datasets

 as double precision ARC/INFO coverages: fskn_geo (geology), fskn_pts (structural point

 data), fskn_str (structural line data), fskn_orn (line ornamentation) and fskn_ldr

 (annotation leaders). 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 fskn_geo includes a polygon feature attribute table (fskn_geo.pat) that

 describes the geospatial distribution of rock units represented in the Postscript (.ps)

 and Portable Document Format (.pdf) plotfiles of the geologic maps and an arc feature

 attribute table (fskn_geo.aat) that describes the contacts and faults that bound rock-unit

 polygons. Line and point identity data are recorded in the .aat and .pat using a system

 of identity codes. Two INFO tables, lines.rel and points.rel, provide a full description

 of each of the geological line and point codes in the database. For display purposes in

 the .ps and .pdf geologic maps, the geology coverage includes two annotation subclasses:

 anno.geo, which contains unit labels derived from the coded item PLABL, and anno.fault,

 which contains formal fault names. In addition, the item TAG allows the user to access

 (relate to) a series of INFO data tables that contain additional, detailed, coded geologic

 data. A complete description of the polygon, line, and point data coding schemes is

 available in U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Reports 97-859, OFR 97-860, and OFR 97-861

 (full source citations follow).

 

 Six INFO data tables are included in the Fawnskin database: fawnskin_summary.rel provides

 general information attribute data, fawnskin_genesis.rel provides data summarizing the

 genesis of each of the major rock types that occur within a particular map rock unit,

 fawnskin_lithology.rel contains lithologic attributes for the main and secondary

 lithologic types in the geologic-map unit, fawnskin_paleontology.rel contains attributes

 that summarize information about fossil type occurrences in each of the rock types,

 fawnskin_protolith.rel describes rock type protoliths, and fawnskin_structure.rel contains

 geologic structural data. The tables have identical architecture other than

 fawnskin_summary.rel. The item TAG serves as the relate item and there are five

 additional feature attribute items, LITH1...LITH5, that represent the major rock types

 within a rock unit. Fawnskin_summary.rel contains seven items: TAG (the relate item), AGE

 (unit age), AGECON (the confidence with which a geologic age is assigned to a map unit),

 SURFACE (geologic and geomorphic properties that characterize the upper surface of

 surficial geologic units), TYPE (hierarchical classification of the specific lithologic

 types occurring in the map unit), CLASS (stratigraphic classification of a rock unit per

 the North American Code of Stratigraphic Nomenclature), and ORIGIN (geologic origin of

 each map unit).

 

 

 (2) The coverage fskn_pts includes a point attribute table (fskn_pts.pat) that describes

 both the types and orientation of bedding, foliation, and lineation. An annotation

 subclass displays the dip or plunge values associated with the point data.

 

 (3) The coverage fskn_str includes an arc attribute table (fskn_str.aat) that describes

 linear, geologic structural data.

 

 (4) The coverage fskn_orn includes a point attribute table (fskn_orn.pat) that describes

 structural line ornamentation.

 

 (5) The coverage fskn_ldr includes an arc attribute table (fskn_ldr.pat) that describes

 annotation leaders. Unit symbols that are placed outside the perimeter of a particular

 polygon identify that polygon with annotation leaders.

 Attribute:

 Attribute_Label: SHDFIL

 Attribute_Definition: Coded integer value that relates polygon to fill pattern in shadeset, geology2.shd.

 Attribute:

 Attribute_Label: PLABL

 Attribute_Definition: Coded geologic map unit label used to generate plot label.

 Attribute:

 Attribute_Label: NAME

 Attribute_Definition: Geologic name of map unit (see list under LABL attribute).

 Attribute:

 Attribute_Label: TAG

 Attribute_Definition:

 A reference label for subgroups of polygons of the geologic-map unit identified by LABL. 

 Each polygon subgroup has certain attributes in common with all other polygons of the map

 unit. However, each subgroup may have unique, distinguishing attributes which warrant

 recognition in the database although those distinguishing characteristics do not warrant

 recognition as new map units.

 

 TAG is defined as LABL followed by an upper-case letter, e.g., QwA, QwB, or QwC, etc. There

 are many units in the Fawnskin quadrangle that have sufficiently distinctive properties that

 are identified with TAG other than the dafault A designation.

 

 TAG serves one additional purpose: it functions as the relate item that associates each

 polygon with its attributes stored in the six polygon-attribute data tables identified in

 the Entity_and_Attribute_Overview section above. 

 Attribute:

 Attribute_Label: SHDPS

 Attribute_Definition:
