This data set maps and describes the geology of the Lakeview 7.5' quadrangle, Riverside County,
California. The quadrangle encompasses part of the northern Peninsular Ranges Province.
Tonalitic granitic rocks of the Cretaceous Peninsular Range batholith dominate the bedrock
areas, and include rocks ranging in composition from monzogranite to gabbro. The Lakeview
Mountains are underlain chiefly by tonalite of the Lakeview pluton and related rocks. In the
northeastern corner of the quadrangle, Tertiary sedimentary rocks of the San Timoteo beds of
Frick (1921) and Mount Eden Formation of Fraser (1931) rest on Paleozoic schist, quartzite,
gneiss, and marble having a well developed east dipping foliation. The Tertiary formations are
much more extensively exposed in the San Timoteo Badlands to the northeast and southeast.
These Tertiary and Paleozoic units are separated from the Lakeview Mountains by the San Jacinto
Valley, which locally contains up to 3,000 m of Quaternary sediments. Two strands of the
seismically active San Jacinto Fault zone bound the Valley, the Claremont Fault on the
northeast side, and the Casa Loma Fault on the southwest side. Numerous cracks and fissures
related to both groundwater withdrawal and tectonic movements are developed in the Quaternary
sediments, especially in the northern part of the quadrangle.
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 data, (3) a coverage containing geologic unit
annotation and leaders, and (4) five additional INFO data tables (.rel) that contain detailed,
coded, geologic information such as texture, fabric, color, and mineralogy and (5) line and
point dictionaries, lines.rel and points.rel. 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, and (2) PDF files of this Readme (including the
metadata file as an appendix), the poly_attrib_code.txt (the polygon attribute coding), and the
graphic 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 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.
Purpose:
The data set for the Lakeview 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. The Lakeview data set represents part of an
ongoing effort to create a regional GIS geologic database for southern California. This
regional digital database, in turn, is being developed as a contribution to the National
Geologic Map Database of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS.
The digital geologic map database for the Lakeview 7.5' 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, it can be used for groundwater studies in the San
Bernardino basin, and for mineral resource evaluation studies, animal and plant habitat
studies, and soil studies in the San Bernardino National Forest. The database is not suitable
for site-specific geologic evaluations.
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: Paleozoic appears as 'Pz' 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 Lakeview 7.5' geologic-map database should be used to evaluate and understand the geologic
character of the Lakeview 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 parts of the map, the resolution of the combined output will
be limited by the lower resolution data.

Data_Set_Credit:
Technical review by M. Dawson and F. Miller 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 Lakeview 7.5' quadrangle. Digital review by R.W. Graymer has allowed us
to prepare 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).
The digital preparation of the data set was carried out by Rachel Alvarez and Gary Patt at the
SCAMP Geographic Information System laboratory in Riverside, and by Pamela M. Cossette at the
USGS Mineral Resources Program GIS lab in Spokane, Washington.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Geologic-map units in the Lakeview 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 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 Lakeview 7.5' quadrangle 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 (7.6 meters). Horizontal positional accuracy was checked by visual comparison
of hard-copy plots with base-stable source data.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Version 1.0 of the Lakeview 7.5' quadrangle comprises three ARC/INFO coverages, of which two
contain geologic data and one contains cartographic features: lkvw_geo (geology), lkvw_pts
(structural point data), and lkvw_anno (geologic unit annotation and 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.Two INFO tables, lines.rel and points.rel provide a full description of each of the
geologic line and point features in the database. Full source citations are provided in the
Entity_and Attribute_Detail_Citation section of this metadata document.
1) The coverage lkvw_geo includes a polygon feature attribute table (lkvw_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 (lkvw_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 one annotation subclass: 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).
Five INFO data tables are included in the Lakeview database: lakeview_genesis.rel provides
data summarizing the genesis of each of the major rock types that occur within a particular
map rock unit, lakeview_summary.rel provides general information about a rock unit,
lakeview_lithology.rel contains lithologic attributes for the main and secondary lithologic
types in the geologic-map unit, lakeview_protolith.rel describes rock type protoliths, and
lakeview_structure.rel contains geologic structural data. The tables have identical
architecture. 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.
Lakeview_structure.rel contains an item STRHIST that contains attributes that describe the
structural history of a particular unit.
2) The coverage lkvw_pts includes a point attribute table (lkvw_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 lkvw_anno includes an arc attribute table (lkvw_ldr.pat) that describes
annotation leaders and one annotation subclass, anno.geo, which contains unit labels derived
from PLABL. Unit symbols that are placed outside the perimeter of a particular polygon
identify that polygon with annotation leaders.

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. Map
units in the Lakeview quadrangle are assigned an A tag designation except for Qyv (QyvA, QyvB
and QyvC) and Qyf (QyfA, QyfB and QyfC).
TAG serves one additional purpose: it functions as the relate item that associates each polygon
with its attributes stored in the five polygon-attribute data tables identified in the
overview description.
