Abstract:
This data set maps and describes the geology of the Sunnymead 7.5' quadrangle, Riverside County, California. Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the data base consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage containing geologic contacts and units, (2) a coverage containing structural data, (3) a coverage containing geologic unit annotation and leaders, and (4) attribute tables for geologic units (polygons), contacts (arcs), and site-specific data (points). 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 the Readme (including the metadata file as an appendix), and the graphic produced by the Postscript plot file.
The Sunnymead quadrangle is located in the northern part of the Peninsular Ranges Province and is underlain by Cretaceous and older basement rocks. This part of the Peninsular Ranges Province is divided into the Perris block, located west of the San Jacinto fault and the San Jacinto Mountains block to the east. The northwest quarter of the quadrangle is crossed diagonally by the San Jacinto fault zone, an important active major fault of the San Andreas fault system. The San Jacinto fault zone consist of a main trace and multiple discontinuous breaks. The main trace forms a dissected, west-facing fault scarp about 1,000 feet above the valley floor. A vaguely located fault in granitic rocks parallel to and west of the San Jacinto fault zone does not appear to cut Pleistocene age alluvial deposits.
On the northern side of the San Jacinto fault zone is a thick section of Pliocene and Pleistocene continental sedimentary rocks, the upper part of the San Timoteo beds of Frick(1921). The area underlain by these rocks is termed the San Timoteo Badlands. Most of these beds consist of coarse-grained sandstone, conglomeratic sandstone, and conglomerate. All the clasts within these beds were derived from Transverse Ranges basement rocks that are located to the north of the quadrangle. The San Timoteo beds have been deformed into a broad anticlinal structure produced by the sedimentary beds being compressed as they are translated around a restraining bend in the San Jacinto fault north of the El Casco quadrangle. A curving, diachronous fault produced by this compression is located in the western part of the badlands just east of the San Jacinto fault zone.
The area west of the San Jacinto fault zone is underlain by plutonic rocks of the Cretaceous-age Peninsular Ranges batholith with a few small included pendants of schist and gneiss of probable Paleozoic age. Most of the plutonic rocks are of tonalite composition and are mainly biotite-hornblende tonalite. In the northwestern part of the quadrangle is the eastern part of the Box Springs granitic complex, a basinal-shaped complex that appears to be the distal part of a diapiric-shaped complex.
Most of the alluviated area west of the San Jacinto fault zone consists of Pleistocene age fluvial deposits. Most of these deposits have a degraded upper surface. The upper surface of these deposits are preserved in some places near the contact with granitic rocks. The upper part of these deposits form the Paloma surface of Woodford and others(1971). Holocene age alluvial fans emanate from the San Timoteo Badlands.
The geologic map data base contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation recorded on 1:24,000 scale aerial photographs. The map was created by transferring lines from the aerial photographs to a 1:24,000 scale topographic base. The map was digitized and lines, points, and polygons were subsequently edited using standard ARC/INFO commands. Digitizing and editing artifacts significant enough to display at a scale of 1:24,000 were corrected. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units are 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 Sunnymead 7.5' quadrangle was prepared under the U.S. Geological Survey Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP) as part of an ongoing effort to develop a regional geologic framework of southern California, and to utilize a Geographic Information System (GIS) format to create regional digital geologic databases. These regional databases are being developed as contributions to the National Geologic Map Database of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS.

Use_Constraints:
The Sunnymead 7.5' geologic-map database should be used to evaluate and understand the geologic character of the Sunnymead 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 many actual and potential geologic hazards represented by faults and landslides and posed by ground subsidence and earthquake-generated ground shaking. However, it is not sufficiently detailed for site-specific determinations or evaluations of these features. Faults shown do not take the place of fault-rupture hazard zones designated by the California State Geologist (see Hart, 1988).
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_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Geologic-map units in the Sunnymead 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.
Nationwide 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. 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 (e.g., 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 database of the Sunnymead 7.5' quadrangle contains 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 a 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.
