Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map
Series_Information:
Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report
This report describes the contents of a digital data set
(approximately 269 MB) which consists of Arc/Info Export format
files and associated macro programs. This report is one in a series
of digital maps, data files, and reports generated by the US
Geological Survey to provide geologic process and mineral resource
information to the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosytem Management
Project (ICBEMP). The various digital maps and data files are being
used in a GIS-based ecosystem assessment including an analysis of
diverse questions relating to past, present, and future conditions
within the general area of the Columbia River Basin east of the
Cascade Mountains.
Purpose:
To provide to the public a digital geologic map database of
compositionally classified lithologies of the Pacific Northwest.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The sources of geologic information for the compositionally classified lithology 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). The individual state geologic maps were combined to produce a composite geologic map of the Pacific Northwest with over 800 rock units, as described in Johnson and Raines (1995).

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