Description:

Abstract:

The paper version of the Geologic Map of the eastern part of the Challis National Forest and vicinity, Idaho was compiled by Anna Wilson and Betty Skipp in 1994. The geology was compiled on a 1:250,000 scale topographic base map. TechniGraphic System, Inc. of Fort Collins Colorado digitized this map under contract for N.Shock. G.Green edited and prepared the digital version for publication as a GIS database. The digital geologic map database can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of geologic maps.

Purpose:

This dataset was developed to provide a geologic map GIS database of Challis National Forest, Idaho for use in spatial analysis by a variety of users.

Data_Set_Credit:

Wilson and Skipp compiled the geology onto stable-base material at a scale of 1:250,000. That version was published as USGS publication MAP I-2395. TechniGraphic System, Inc. of Fort Collins Colorado digitized that map for the USGS in 1999 under contract for N.Shock (USGS). G.Green (USGS) edited and prepared for digital release the Arc/Info databases. The files are stored in the following projection; UTM, meters, zone 11, NAD27, Clarke 1866

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Clear film positives of the 1:250,000-scale geologic map compilation were electronically scanned to create raster images, converted to vector, polygon, and point GIS layers, and attributed by the contractor Techni Graphics Systems, Inc. of Fort Collins Colorado. At the USGS these files were further attributed, edited, and compared to the original film positives to check for digitizing and attributing errors. Corrections were made as needed.
