The data are supplied in ARC/INFO export format. DATABASE STRUCTURE - ARC/INFO ==================================== The database of the map consists of three coverages (root name = silt), including corresponding info files: This GIS database includes related look-up tables, which store detailed attribute information. Arc/Info relates for each coverage are saved in a file named <covername>.rel. Use the RELATE command with the restore argument at the arc prompt to make the relates active. Alternatively, in Arctools, use the Relate environment: open dialog in the Manage - Relates flyout menu under the Arctools menu to make the relates active. siltpoly coverage: contains all contact lines and labelpoints for each geologic polygon; also contains lines that are limit of overturned strata. In the denvpoly.pat INFO file the LABEL item indicates the rock unit label (abbreviation) used to label the unit on the map. The DESC item contains the formal or informal unit name. The SOURCE item contains the numeric code used to identify the data source for the rock unit. The SYMBOL item contains the shadeset symbol number used by ArcInfo to plot a filled/shaded polygon. The symbol numbers in this coverage refer to the color524.shd shadeset. In the coverage's siltpoly.aat INFO file the NAME item contains the name given to the structural feature. The SOURCE item contains the numeric code used to identify the data source for the structural feature. The SYMBOL item contains the lineset symbol number used by ArcInfo to plot a line. The symbol numbers in this coverage refer to the geol_sfo.lin lineset. In the coverage's siltpoly.ref INFO file the SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source. The scale item lists the scale of the source map. (This value is the denominator of the proportional fraction that identifies the scale of the map that was digitized or scanned to produce the digital map.) The AUTHORS item lists the author(s) or compiler(s) of source map entered as last name, first name or initial, and middle initial. The YEAR item lists the source (map) publication date. The REFERENCE item lists the remainder of the reference in USGS reference format. The INFO structure of these files is listed below: >SILTPOLY.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 SILTPOLY# 4 5 B - > 29 SILTPOLY-ID 4 5 B - > 33 LINECODE 3 3 I - > 36 NAME 30 30 C - > 66 SOURCE 4 4 I - > 70 SYMBOL 3 3 I - >SILTPOLY.PAT >COLUMN ITEM NAME WIDTH OUTPUT TYPE N.DEC ALTERNATE NAME > 1 AREA 8 18 F 5 > 9 PERIMETER 8 18 F 5 > 17 SILTPOLY# 4 5 B - > 21 SILTPOLY-ID 4 5 B - > 25 SOURCE 4 4 I - > 29 LABEL 10 10 C - > 39 DESC 100 100 C - > 139 SYMBOL 3 3 I - >SILTPOLY.CON >COLUMN ITEM NAME WIDTH OUTPUT TYPE N.DEC ALTERNATE NAME > 1 LINECODE 3 3 I - > 4 SYMBOL 3 3 I - > 7 TYPE 10 10 C - > 17 MODIFIER 20 20 C - > 37 CERTAINTY 15 15 C - > 52 DESC 100 100 C - >SILTPOLY.REF >COLUMN ITEM NAME WIDTH OUTPUT TYPE N.DEC ALTERNATE NAME > 1 SOURCE 4 4 I - > 5 SCALE 8 8 I - > 13 AUTHORS 200 200 C - > 213 YEAR 4 4 I - > 217 REFERENCE 250 250 C - siltline coverage: contains cross-section lines and a synclinal fold axis line. In the siltline.aat INFO file the NAME item indicates the name given to the structural feature. The SOURCE item contains the numeric code used to identify the data source for the structural feature. The DESC item contains the written description or explanation of the contact, boundary, or structural feature. The SYMBOL item contains the lineset symbol number used by ArcInfo to plot a line. The symbol numbers in this coverage refer to the geol_sfo.lin lineset. In the coverage's siltline.ref INFO file the SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source. The scale item lists the scale of the source map. (This value is the denominator of the proportional fraction that identifies the scale of the map that was digitized or scanned to produce the digital map.) The AUTHORS item lists the author(s) or compiler(s) of source map entered as last name, first name or initial, and middle initial. The YEAR item lists the source (map) publication date.

In the siltpnt.pat INFO file the PTTYPE item lists the type of point symbol, e.g., strike and of inclined bedding. The MARKER item lists the markerset used for a particular PTTYPE. MARKER value 1 = GEOSCAMP2.MRK, 2 = OILGAS.MRK, 3 = USGS.MRK. OILGAS.MRK and USGS.MRK are standard ArcInfo markersets. The SYMBOLCD item lists the marker symbol used by ArcInfo to identify the type of structural map symbol. Symbol numbers refer to symbols in the 3 markersets listed above. The STRIKE item contains the strike of bedding. Strike is an azimuthal angle (measured in degrees from 0 to 360 in a clockwise direction from North). The DIP item contains the dip of bedding. This value is an angle measured (in degrees 0 to 90) down from the horizontal; thus a horizontal dip is 0 degrees and a vertical dip is 90 degrees. The CALCANG item contains an interim value used to calculate SYM$ANGLE. The SYM$ANGLE item is the angle used to mathematically rotate the map point symbol to its proper orientation on the map. This item was set equal to the pseudoitem '$ANGLE' (calc SYM$ANGLE = $ANGLE). The SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source. In the coverage's siltpnt.ref INFO file the SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source. The scale item lists the scale of the source map. (This value is the denominator of the proportional fraction that identifies the scale of the map that was digitized or scanned to produce the digital map.) The AUTHORS item lists the author(s) or compiler(s) of source map entered as last name, first name or initial, and middle initial. The YEAR item lists the source (map) publication date. The REFERENCE item lists the remainder of the reference in USGS reference format.
