The atlas was begun as an effort to depict the areal distribution of surficial geologic deposits and other materials that accumulated or formed during the past 2+ million years, the period that includes all activities of the human species. These materials are at the surface of the earth. They make up the "ground" on which we walk, the "dirt" in which we dig foundations, and the "soil" in which we grow crops. Most of our human activity is related in one way or another to these surface materials that are referred to collectively by many geologists as regolith, the mantle of fragmental and generally unconsolidated material that overlies the bedrock foundation of the continent. The maps were compiled at 1:1,000,000 scale. Purpose: In recent years, surficial deposits and materials have become the focus of much interest by scientists, environmentalists, governmental agencies, and the general public. They are the foundations of ecosystems, the materials that support plant growth and animal habitat, and the materials through which travels much of the water required for our agriculture, our industry, and our general well being. They also are materials that easily can become contaminated by pesticides, fertilizers, and toxic wastes. In this context, the value of the surficial geologic map is evident Supplemental_Information: The digital file was prepared at 1:1,000,000 nominal viewing scale. If the map is enlarged to larger scales (for example, 1:250,000, 1:100,000, or 1:24,000 scale), resolution of the map data is greatly diminished. Enlargement will not restore resolution that was lost by simplification or generalization of data. This database represents an attempt to digitally capture all the geologic information available on the published paper map. Separate coverages are provided for the map unit polygons, linear glacial features, point data for drumlins and type localities, important stratigraphic sections, and line coverages for the hydrology and topography. The description of map units and sources of information are both included as PDF files. The published maps of the Quaternary Geologic Atlas of the U.S. used three separate projections. To promote uniformity, the projection of this database was changed from Lambert Conformal Conic to Albers Equal Area and all subsequent digital databases will similarly be changed to Albers Equal Area Projection. Illustrations are provided showing relationships of the loess distribution and thickness; late Wisconsin glacial lobes, sublobes and advances within lobes and sublobes, and areas of responsibility for the compilation of the map. An illustration is provided showing the correlation of map units. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee- compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in ARC/INFO format, this metadata file includes some ARC/INFO-specific terminology. >The dataset for the Chicago quadrangle consists of 10 coverages. > geo_net > gla_lin > gla_pnt > hydr_lin > topo_lin > bnd_lin > bnd_net > rd_lin > rr_lin > grid_lin > The dataset also includes an ARC/INFO AML, lineset, shadeset, and markerset that will produce the EPS file of the geology and glacial features and the list of map units.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: PDF Data_Set_Credit: The Quaternary Geologic Map of the Chicago 4 Degree x 6 Degree Quadrangle, United States, I-1420 (NK-16) was compiled by Jerry A. Lineback, Illinois State Geological Survey, Ned K. Bleuer, Indiana Geological Survey, David M. Mickelson, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wisconsin, William R. Farrand, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Michigan, and Richard P. Goldthwait, Department of Geology and Mineralogy, Ohio State University. The state compilations were edited and integrated by Gerald M. Richmond and David S. Fullerton, U.S. Geological Survey. The compilations of geology and glacial features were converted to digital form by Techni Graphic Systems, Inc., of Fort Collins, CO, under contract with the U.S. Geological Survey and modified by Charles A. Bush. The hydrography layer was prepared by Sharon Smith, U.S. Geological Survey. Illustrations, wordprocessor files, the topographic layer, and DLG coverages were prepared by Bush. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Windows_NT, 4.0, Intel ARC/INFO version 7.2.1 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Compilation of geologic data: The accuracy of the map data is dependent on (1) the accuracy of the original source data, (2) the accuracy of transfer of that data to larger scale bases by the compilers, (3) the procedures by which the compilers and the editor/integrator simplified or generalized the data, and (4) the procedures used by, and the objectivity exercised by, the editor/integrator in integration of adjacent parts of the map that were prepared by different compilers. Consequently, aspects of accuracy for the data set cannot be quantified. Digitization and attributing of compilation: Digitizing contractor scanned source stable-base material, vectorized scan, attributed files, and produced check plots and coverages. C.A. Bush proofread check plots and reviewed digital files; made final corrections as needed; produced graphical files and imported them into graphics program to prepare plot file; proofread cartographic product; prepared illustrations and word processing files of descriptions of map units and sources of information. The original paper map was scanned and recreated as PDF files. (The original map was thoroughly reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature.) Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon and chain-node topology are present. The ARC/INFO commands BUILD and CLEAN were run to ensure the topological consistency of the data set. All polygons are labeled and were tested by using the ARC/INFO command LABELERRORS. All polygons were checked for closure and intersections. Completeness_Report: These coverages contain polygons for all the map units, lines for all the contacts and glacial features, and points for all the locations of localities and drumlins. All geologic data from the original map are expressed on this map. Any differences between elements on the original map and attributed polygons, arcs, and points in this database are inadvertent and should not be construed as deliberate alterations of the data. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of location of polygons, lines, and points is consistent with the map scale of 1:1,000,000.

Process_Date: 2000 Process_Step: Process_Description: C.A. Bush acquired U.S. Geological Survey DLG 1:2,000,000 digital data for roads, railroads, and county boundaries. Data was obtained for individual states, combined, and clipped to cover only the area of the map. Since the files are intended only for the user's reference, and to reduce file size, all attributes were removed from the railroad coverage. All attributes were removed from the roads coverage except U.S. and State highway designations. All attributes were removed from the boundaries coverage except those containing state or county names. A coverage was created containing map boundaries and state and international boundaries. These coverages do not exactly match the base used in preparation of the original Quaternary Atlas map, but are included for the user's convenience. Process_Date: 2001 Process_Step: Process_Description: C.A. Bush created illustration of the index map on the paper map in a drawing program and changed it to reflect the status of conversion of Quaternary Geologic Atlas quadrangles to digital databases.

The geo_net.aat INFO file consists of the following item: LTYPE--Refers to the type of arc and is one of the following: "contact," "shoreline," or "map boundary." The gla_lin coverage contains lines of linear glacial features. The gla_lin.aat INFO file consists of the following items: TYPE--Refers to the type of glacial feature described by the arc and is one of the following: "esker," "limit of glacial advance," "buried moraine," "meltwater channel," "shoreline deposits," or "map boundary". MODIFIER--Refers only to ltype = "meltwater channel" and is either "left bank" or "right bank". ACCURACY--Refers to accuracy of location of arcs in the gla_lin coverage and is either "certain" or "inferred". NAME--Refers to the geounit name (taj) of inferred buried end moraine. The gla_pnt coverage contains points that represent drumlins, places where the direction of ice movement is indicated by striations, or the location of important stratigraphic sections. The gla_pnt.pat INFO file consists of the following items: TYPE--Refers to the type of feature shown at the point and is one of the following: "drumlin," "direction of ice movement," "concentric minor moraines," "glacially fluted landforms," "wind direction," or the name of important stratigraphic sections. ANGLE--Refers to the direction of drumlin or ice movement; in degrees measured clockwise from north. MRKANGLE--Negative of ANGLE; useful for plotting srmbols in ARCPLOT. Hydr_lin is a line coverage created after scanning the hydrographic layer that was used in the original paper map. It has no attributes. Topo_lin is a line coverage created after scanning the topographic layer that was used in the original paper map. It has no attributes. Bnd_lin is a line coverage created from 1:2,000,000-scale U.S. Geological Survey Digital Line Graph coverages (DLG). It contains lines representing state boundaries. The bnd_lin.aat INFO file contains the following item: LTYPE--Refers to the type of line and contains the values: "state boundary", or "map boundary". The coverage is annotated with state names along boundaries. Bnd_net is a polygon coverage created from 1:2,000,000-scale DLG coverages and contains political and administrative boundaries. Polygons are attributed in the standard DLG coding scheme and the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Rd_lin is a line coverage created from 1:2,000,000-scale DLG coverages. The coverage contains lines representing roads in the map area. All DLG attributes have been stripped from the lines except ROUTE_NUMBER1, ROUTE_NUMBER2, ROUTE_NUMBER3, and ROUTE_NUMBER4. Rr_lin is a line coverage created from 1:2,000,000-scale DLG coverages. The coverage contains lines representing railroads in the map area. It has no DLG attributes. Grid_lin is a line coverage created to display projection lines in one degree increments. It has no attributes.
