This digital map database, compiled from previously published and
unpublished data, and new mapping by the authors, represents the
general distribution of bedrock and surficial deposits in the
mapped area. Together with the accompanying text file (oakmf.ps,
oakmf.pdf, oakmf.txt), it provides current information on the
geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area covered. The
database delineates map units that are identified by general age
and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S.
Geological Survey. The scale of the source maps limits the spatial
resolution (scale) of the database to 1:24,000 or smaller.
Purpose:
This database and accompanying plot files depict the distribution
of geologic materials and structures at a regional (1:24,000)
scale. The report is intended to provide geologic information for
the regional study of materials properties, earthquake shaking,
landslide potential, mineral hazards, seismic velocity, and
earthquake faults. In addition, the report contains new
information and interpretations about the regional geologic history
and framework. However, the regional scale of this report does not
provide sufficient detail for site development purposes. In
addition, this map does not take the place of fault-rupture hazard
zones designated by the California State Geologist (Hart and
Bryant, 1997). Similarly, the database cannot be used to identify
or delineate landslides in the region.
Supplemental_Information:
The databases in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO, a
commercial Geographic Information System (Environmental Systems
Research Institute, Redlands, California), with version 3.0 of the
menu interface ALACARTE (Fitzgibbon and Wentworth, 1991,
Fitzgibbon, 1991, Wentworth and Fitzgibbon, 1991). The files are
in either GRID (ARC/INFO raster data) format or COVERAGE (ARC/INFO
vector data) format. Coverages are stored in uncompressed ARC
export format (ARC/INFO version 7.x). ARC/INFO export files (files
with the .e00 extension) can be converted into ARC/INFO coverages
in ARC/INFO (see below) and can be read by some other Geographic
Information Systems, such as MapInfo via ArcLink and ESRI's
ArcView (version 1.0 for Windows 3.1 to 3.11 is available for free
from ESRI's web site: <http://www.esri.com>). The digital
compilation was done in version 7.1.1 of ARC/INFO with version 3.0
of the menu interface ALACARTE (Fitzgibbon and Wentworth, 1991,
Fitzgibbon, 1991, Wentworth and Fitzgibbon, 1991). The geologic
map information was digitized from stable originals of the geologic
maps at 1:62,500 and 1:24,000 scale. The author manuscripts (pen
on mylar) were scanned using a Altek monochrome scanner with a
resolution of 800 dots per inch. The scanned images were
vectorized and transformed from scanner coordinates to projection
coordinates with digital tics placed by hand at quadrangle corners.
The scanned lines were edited interactively by hand using ALACARTE,
color boundaries were tagged as appropriate, and scanning artifacts
visible at 1:24,000 were removed.

Use_Constraints:
Uses of this digital geologic map 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 for a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher resolution information is not present 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, 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.

Data_Set_Credit:
I would like to acknowledge my many colleagues at the USGS,
University of California, and Stanford University for their many
contributions over the years. I am grateful to the following U.S.
Geological Survey paleontologists who have examined our fossils and
provided ages necessary to establish the stratigraphic sequence and
structure: David Bukry (Cretaceous and Tertiary nannoplankton),
Kristin McDougall (Tertiary foraminifers), William Sliter (Cretaceous
and Eocene foraminifers), John Barron (Tertiary diatoms), Charles
Powell, II (Tertiary mollusks), and Bonita Murchey (Mesozoic
radiolaria). I am also very grateful to managers and staff of
Chevron, EXXON, UNOCAL, ARCO, and Shell Petroleum Companies who have
provided reports, maps, picked slides, and residues for about 25,000
microfossil localities in the San Francisco Bay Region. In addition,
I need to thank Becky Stamski, who helped immensely with the
cartographic layout and cross-sections. Finally, I am indebted to
Earl E. Brabb of the USGS and David L. Jones of the University of
California for their thorough reviews of the manuscript for this
report, as well as Charles Powell, II, for his review of
stratigraphic nomenclature and Jason Barnes for his review of the
digital database.

Completeness_Report:
The report is intended to describe completely the surficial deposits
and bedrock geology at 1:24,000 scale. Geologic information only
mappable at larger scale has been omitted. In addition, landslide
deposits are for the most part not recorded.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Well located data items are intended to have a horizontal positional accuracy within .5 mm at 1:24,000 scale, or within 12 meters on the ground. The general positional accuracy of each line in the database is indicated within the LTYPE field in the Arc Attribute Table (see below). Points in the database are generally considered to be well located. The position of each data item is derived from the USGS topographic base map, and therefore additional inaccuracies arising from inaccuracies in the base map may also be encountered.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The databases in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO, a
commercial Geographic Information System (Environmental Systems
Research Institute, Redlands, California). Almost all the
attributes in the various attribute tables of the coverages
included in the report are set or calculated by Arc/Info. The
exceptions are "coveragename"-ID, LTYPE, PTYPE, PTTYPE, BKTYPE,
SAMPNO, STRIKE, and DIP. "coveragename"-ID is required by internal
policy to be sequential. This ensures the highest compatibility of
our databases with other GISs. Therefore "coveragename"-ID is
calculated equal to "coveragename"#, which is a unique, sequential
integer assigned by Arc/Info to each data record. LTYPE, PTYPE,
and PTTYPE are author added items to the coverage AAT or PAT that
are used to describe the type of line (LTYPE), area (PTYPE), or
point (PTTYPE) being recorded. All coverages with AAT and PAT
present include these items in the data structure. Each has WIDTH
35, OUTPUT 35, TYPE C. STRIKE and DIP are author added items to
the coverage PAT that record information about the orientation of
planar geologic structures. Both have WIDTH 3, OUTPUT 3, TYPE I.
These items are only recorded in the table <QUAD>-STRC.PAT.
FAULTNAME is an author added item the coverage AAT that records
information about the names of faults in the map area. It has
WIDTH 35, OUTPUT 35, TYPE C. FAULTNAME is only recorded in the
table OAK-FLT.AAT. Note that this publication includes a separate
coverage for the geologic units and lines and a separate coverage
for the geologic structures in each of the seven quadrangles in the
study area. The database organization is the same for each, so
they are not described individually. Instead, a single description
for all seven quadrangles is denoted by the label <QUAD>. The
actual database item is labeled with a quadrangle identifier code
in place of <QUAD> (ri = Richmond quadrangle, bv = Briones Valley
quadrangle, ow = Oakland West quadrangle, oe = Oakland East
quadrangle, lt = Las Trampas Ridge quadrangle, sl = San Leandro
quadrangle, ha = Hayward quadrangle). For example, the AAT for the
structure coverage of the Hayward quadrangle is HA-STRC.AAT, and is
described above by <QUAD>-STRC.AAT. Because of the single entry
above, all of the enumerated domain values for every coverage are
listed, therefore not every domain value will be present in every
coverage.
