|The paper geologic map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1° x 2°quadrangle, northwestern Montana 1:250,000 (Harrison and others, 1998) wasdigitized and initially attributed by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology(MBMG) before remitting to the U.S. Geological Survey for further attributionand publication of the geospatial digital files. The resulting digital geologicmap GIS can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of geologic maps.This digital geospatial database is one of many being created by the U.S.Geological Survey as an ongoing effort to provide geologic information ina geographic information system (GIS) for use in spatial analysis. Digitalbase map data files (topography, roads, towns, rivers and lakes, etc.) arenot included, however they may be obtained from a variety of commercialand government sources. This digital map is only consistent with the 1:250,000-scaletopographic base maps and should not be used at larger scales (for example,1:100,000 or 1:24,000). The digital geologic map graphics and plot files(cb250k.gra/.hp /.eps) that are provided in the digital package are representationsof the digital database.
