Description:

Abstract:

The paper geologic map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1° x 2° quadrangle, northwestern Montana (Harrison and others, 1998) was digitized and initially attributed by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) and remitted to the U.S. Geological Survey for further attribution and publication of the geospatial digital files. The resulting digital geologic map GIS can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of geological maps.

Purpose:

This digital geospatial database is one of many being created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as an ongoing effort to provide geologic information in a geographic information system (GIS) for use in spatial analysis.

Supplemental_Information:

This GIS dataset consists of one major ArcInfo dataset: a line and polygon file (cb250k) that contains geologic contacts and structures (lines) and geologic map rock units (polygons).

Data_Set_Credit:

The Harrison and others (1998) geological map was digitized and minimally attributed by Ken Sandau (Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG)) who then provided four minimally attributed ArcInfo interchange-format files to the U.S.G.S.; Robert J. Miller (USGS) combined the faults coverage into the contact and rock unit coverage; and Helen Z. Kayser (contractor) attached and attributed an interim geologic map data model.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attribute accuracy was verified by manual comparison of the source with hard copy printouts and plots.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Polygon and chain-node topology present. Polygons intersecting the neatline area closed along the border. Segments making up the outer and inner boundaries of a polygon tie end to end to completely enclose the area. Line segments are a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs. No duplicate features exist nor do duplicate points in a data string. Intersecting lines are separated into individual line segments at the point of intersection. All nodes are represented by a single coordinate pair which indicates the beginning or end of a line segment.

Completeness_Report:

This digital geologic map is wholly derived from Harrison and others (1998).

Process_Description:

The Harrison and others (1998) map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1° x 2° quadrangle was digitized and minimally attributed by Ken Sandau (Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology) under contract with the U.S. Geological Survey. Robert J. Miller (U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, CA) combined the faults file into the contact and rock unit file. Then Helen Kayser (Information Systems Support, Inc., Spokane, WA) augmented the file with an interim geologic map data model (data base), further attributed and edited, and then plotted and compared to the original stable-base geologic map to check for digitizing and attributing errors. All processing by the U.S. Geological Survey was done in ArcInfo version 8.1 (installed on a Sun Ultra workstation).
