Version 1.0 of the Digital Geologic Map of the Butler Peak 7.5'quadrangle consists of three Arc/Info coverages: 1) btlrpk_geo - geology Geologic units are delineated by geologic line entities and described by polygons which are attributed with the following set of attribute items in btlrpk_geo.pat. For display purposes, the geology coverage contains one annotation subclass: anno.geo contains unit labels. >BTLRPK_GEO.PAT: > >COLUMN ITEM NAME WIDTH OUTPUT TYPE N.DEC ALTERNATE NAME > 1 AREA 8 18 F 5 > 9 PERIMETER 8 18 F 5 > 17 BTLRPK_GEO# 4 5 B - > 21 BTLRPK_GEO-ID 4 5 B - > 25 TAG 25 25 C - > 50 LABL 35 35 C - > 85 PLABL 35 35 C - > 120 SHD 3 3 I - > 123 SHDFIL 3 3 I - > 126 SHDPS 3 3 I - > 129 NAME 200 200 C - > > TAG enables identification of polygons, within a unit, of which the geology is sufficiently distinct from that of the overall unit. The default designation is the unit label with the suffix A. Polygons representing unique properties other than the default can be identified with suffixes B, C...etc. All polygons in the Butler Peak quadrangle are designated by the suffix A. LABL geologic map unit label, in plain text PLABL coded geologic map unit label used to generate plot labels with relevant stratigraphic symbols. The geologic units with LABL Cbk, Cc, Cw, Cz (Cambrian); Mzu (Mesozoic); PPbs (Pensylvanian); Prcc, Prgsq etc. (Proterozoic); Trf, Trfl, Trlm (Triassic) appear as _bk, _c, _w, _z; }u; &bs; <cc, <gsq etc.; ^f, ^fl, ^lm respectively in the item PLABL. The replacement characters call their corresponding symbols from the Stratagem Font Group. Geologic map unit labels will plot on derivative map plots with appropriate stratigraphic symbols if PLABL is used as the source of unit labels. The Stratagem Font Group is accessed through geofont.txt. However, the Stratagem Font Group is unavailable for general release at this time. SHD allows assignment of polygon colors from shadesets other than those used in this dataset SHDFIL polygon fill pattern from shadeset geology2.shd (included in the data package) SHDPS polygon color from shadeset scamp2.shd (included in the data package) NAME geologic name of each unit Geologic lines, which include features such as faults, and contacts are attributed with the following set of feature attribute items contained in btlrpk_geo.aat.

One annotation subclass is included in the geologic points coverage: dip displays the respective dip and plunge values associated with individual point data. > >BTLRPK_PTS.PAT: > >COLUMN ITEM NAME WIDTH OUTPUT TYPE N.DEC ALTERNATE NAME > 1 AREA 8 18 F 5 > 9 PERIMETER 8 18 F 5 > 17 BTLRPK_PTS# 4 5 B - > 21 BTLRPK_PTS-ID 4 5 B - > 25 P-DIP 3 3 I - > 28 P-STRIKE 3 3 I - > 31 P-SYMB 3 3 I - > 34 P-TAG 25 25 C - > 59 P-UNIQUE 200 200 C - > 259 P-AGECON 50 50 C - > 309 P-SOURCE 200 200 C - > 509 P-AGE 100 100 C - > 609 P-PLUNGE 3 3 I - > 612 P-DIPDIR 3 3 I - > > P-DIP the dip of planar features P-STRIKE the azimuth strike of planar features P-SYMB stores the point-type value from the markerset geoscamp2.mrk (included in the data package) P-TAG point attribute which consists of a character(s) and numerical value, e.g. FN42, allows the user to relate the point entity to its corresponding definition in the data table, points.rel P-UNIQUE allows for the description of attributes uniquely associated with a particular point datum location P-AGECON indicates the confidence with which a geologic age is assigned to a point feature P-SOURCE allows identification of sources other than the U.S. Geological Survey authors of this map product from which data were compiled P-AGE indicates the geologic age assigned to the feature, where determined P-PLUNGE lineation plunge value P-DIPDIR azimuthal direction of dip To date, there is no other way to indicate to the user the cardinal direction of dip using the traditional convention (traditional geologic notation allows a quadrant designation following the dip value). 3) btlrpk_ldr - annotation leaders Annotation leaders point to unit labels that are placed outside the perimeter of a particular geologic polygon. These cartographic line entities are attributed with only a single attribute, L-SYMB, and all have the same value, 1. > >BTLRPK_LDR.AAT: > >COLUMN ITEM NAME WIDTH OUTPUT TYPE N.DEC ALTERNATE NAME > 1 FNODE# 4 5 B - > 5 TNODE# 4 5 B - > 9 LPOLY# 4 5 B - > 13 RPOLY# 4 5 B - > 17 LENGTH 8 18 F 5 > 25 BTLRPK_LDR# 4 5 B - > 29 BTLRPK_LDR-ID 4 5 B - > 33 L-SYMB 3 3 I -
