Description | New 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping along the Interstate-70 urban corridor in western Colorado, in support of the State/ USGS Cooperative Geologic Mapping Project, is contributing to a more complete understanding of the stratigraphy, structure, tectonic e |

The complete geologic map database comprises four component ArcINFO coverages (jsp24k, jsppnt, jspcontrol, and jspcontour). The jsp24k coverage contains all contact lines and label points for each of the map polygons. The jsppnt coverage includes point data that represents bedding attitude and descriptive symbology for the jsp24k coverage fault lines. The jspcontrol coverage contains point data that represents elevation control points used by the geologist during field mapping. The jspcontour coverage contains elevations of the base of the Boone Formation. >DATABASE STRUCTURE - ARC/INFO ==================================== > >Jasper Geology Coverage (jsp24k) > >AAT > >The arc attribute table contains two user-defined items: > >Item name width output type >DESCRIPTION 25 25 c >LINECODE 5 5 n > >The item 'LINECODE' contains the number that corresponds to >a line symbol in ArcInfo lineset carto.lin > >contact = 1 >quad boundary = 1 >cross-section = 18 >exposed fault = 102 >inferred fault = 110 >concealed fault = 149 > >PAT > >The polygon attribute table contains four user-defined items: > >Item name width output type >GEOLOGY 10 10 C >COLOR 3 3 N >HATCH 10 10 I >SPECGEO 10 10 C > >The item 'geology' corresponds to the geologic code (ex: Qty, > Qto) >The item 'color' corresponds to the appropriate number in the > shadeset wpgcmykg.shd >The item 'hatch' is used to specify the hatch marks required > to plot Mbs units.
