Description:
Abstract:
The geology of the Salmon National Forest, Idaho, was compiled from
published and unpublished sources and new field mapping by Evans, Lund,
Tysdal, and Winkler between 1997 and 2001. The geology was compiled
onto 1:100,000-scale topographic base maps for input into a geographic
information system (GIS). 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
Salmon National Forest, Idaho, for use in spatial analysis by a variety
of users.

Data_Set_Credit:
Karl V. Evans (USGS) compiled the geology onto scale-stable base materials
At a scale of 1:100,000. Geologic Data Systems,Inc. (GDS), scanned the
geologic map and provided attributed Arc/Info .e00 files to the USGS in
decimal degree format. Gregory N. Green imported the files, transformed
them to UTM zone 11 or zone 12 and Albers Conic Equal Area projections,
and checked for errors. The files are stored in Albers Conic Equal Area
projection for ease of use across the UTM zone.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
SunOS, 5.5.1, sun4u UNIX
ARC/INFO version 7.2
