Description:

Abstract:: This report provides background information on the bat habitat map provided by the US Geological Survey to the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project (ICBEMP). This report is one in a series of digital maps, data files, and reports generated by the USGS to provide geologic process and mineral resource information for the ICBEMP.
Purpose:: To provide to the public a digital geologic map database of the possible bat habitats for the Pacific Northwest.

Data_Set_Credit:

This product would not exist without the input of the many geoscientists whose work has previously been compiled to create datasets of geothermal water information. Those agencies include the US Geological Survey, the US Department of Energy, the California Division of Mines and Geology, the Idaho Geological Survey, the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey, the Geological Survey of Wyoming, and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. We particularly acknowledge Patrick Geehan, the Bureau of Land Management project coordinator for the Interior Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Management Project, for recognizing the importance of geology to ecosystem management and for supplying funds to digitize the Washington, Idaho, and Montana state geologic maps.

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

The starting points for the bat habitat map and other derivative maps were the geologic maps of California (Jennings, 1977), Idaho (Bond and Wood, 1978), Montana (Ross, Andress and Witkind, 1955), Nevada (Stewart and Carlson, 1978), Oregon (Walker and MacLeod, 1991), Utah (Hintze, 1980), Washington (Hunting and others, 1961), and Wyoming (Love and Christiansen, 1985).

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: The state geologic maps were processed digitally, as follows: the source material was scanned, the lines and polygons were edited and proofed, attributes were added and proofed, the maps were transformed from scanner units to geographic coordinates, and finally, map distortions were removed by rubber-sheeting.
