Abstract:
Thirty-nine types of surficial geologic deposits and residual materials of Quaternary age are described and mapped in the greater Denver area, in part of the Front Range, and in the piedmont and plains east of Denver, Boulder, and Castle Rock. Descriptions appear in the pamphlet that accompanies the map. Landslide deposits, colluvium, residuum, alluvium, and other deposits or materials are described in terms of predominant grain size, mineral or rock composition (e.g., gypsiferous, calcareous, granitic, andesitic), thickness of deposits, and other physical characteristics. Origins and ages of the deposits and geologic hazards related to them are noted. Many lines between geologic units on our map were placed by generalizing contacts on published maps. However, in 1997-1999 we mapped new boundaries, as well. The map was projected to the UTM projection. This large map area extends from the Continental Divide near Winter Park and Fairplay ( on the west edge), eastward about 107 mi (172 km); and extends from Boulder on the north edge to Woodland Park at the south edge (68 mi; 109 km).
Purpose:
The map and descriptions offer information that may be used for: land-use planning (e.g. selecting land fill sites, greenbelts, avoiding geologic hazards), for finding aggregate resources (crushed rock, sand, and gravel), for study of geomorphology and Quaternary geology. Geologic hazards (e.g., landslides, swelling soils, heaving bedrock, and flooding) known to be located in, or characteristic of some mapped units, were identified.
Surficial deposits in the quadrangle partially record depositional events of the Quaternary Period (the most recent 1.8 million years). Some events such as floods are familiar to persons living in the area, while other recorded events are pre-historical. The latter include glaciation, probable large earthquakes, protracted drought, and widespread deposition of sand and silt by wind. At least twice in the past 200,000 years (most recently about 30,000 to 12,000 years ago) global cooling caused glaciers to form along the Continental Divide. The glaciers advanced down valleys in the Front Range, deeply eroded the bedrock, and deposited moraines (map units tbg, tbj) and outwash (ggq, gge). On the plains (east part of map), eolian sand (es), stabilized dune sand (ed), and loess (elb) are present and in places contain buried paleosols. These deposits indicate that periods of sand dune deposition alternated with periods of stabilized dunes and soil formation.
Supplemental_Information:
Compilation scale: 1:250,000. Map is available in digital and print-on-demand paper formats. Deposits are described in terms of predominant grain size, mineralogic and lithologic composition, general thickness, and geologic hazards, if any, relevant geologic historical information and paleosoil information, if any. Thirty- nine map units of deposits include 5 alluvium types, 15 colluvia, 6 residua, 3 types of eolian deposits, 2 periglacial/disintegrated deposits, 3 tills, 2 landslide units, 2 glaciofluvial units, and 1 diamicton. An additional map unit depicts large areas of mostly bare bedrock.
The physical properties of the surficial materials were compiled from published soil and geologic maps and reports, our field observations, and from earth science journal articles. Selected deposits in the field were checked for conformity to descriptions of map units by the Quaternary geologist who compiled the surficial geologic map units.

Data_Set_Credit:
In 1978, Lucille A. Piety hand drafted a map of surficial geologic units for the Denver quadrangle. She accomplished this by generalizing linework from the published Geologic Map of the Denver 1°x2° quadrangle, north-central Colorado (Bruce Bryant, L.W. McGrew, and R.A. Wobus, 1981, USGS Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I- 1163). This linework was intended to be reduced as partial input for a more extensive 1:1,000,000-scale map. We digitized these lines initially, edited them to obtain more detail and accuracy, and added data appropriate for a 1:250,000-scale published map. Piety also classified the surficial units. However, because this system was designed for a 1:1,000,000-scale map (less detailed map), we had to make a more detailed classification to replace it.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
We checked attributes for accuracy by preparing a check plot in which map element colors, patterns, and decorations are determined by the attribute values. The plot was then visually checked against the geologists' original compilations. Polygon closure, compilation, and attribution errors were corrected.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closures, and other errors. Automated ( ArcInfo AML) routines were also used to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information. The map was reviewed by two geologists, including another Quaternary specialist for consistency with geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards.
Completeness_Report:
Data are complete: no features that could be accurately represented at the compilation scale of 1:250,000 were eliminated. Map units have been generalized from larger or same-scale source maps. Unit properties are described in the accompanying pamphlet. The smallest area expressed in this data set is approximately 62,500 square meters (0.0625 sq. km. or, a square area 250 m on a side).
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Map lines that depict contacts between geologic units were placed by generalizing contacts obtained from published geologic maps, viewing orthophotoquads in USDA county published soil reports, and the authors' field observations. Lines were digitized by using a digitizer tablet having a resolution of 0.001 in. No elevation data exist in the database. No systematic analysis of accuracy was attempted. The best accuracy is that of map lines around boundaries of young channel alluvial deposits, unit asa. They are within 2 mm of their correct map location (within 500 m of actual ground limits) relative to map symbols that depict topography and streams. Perhaps half are within 1 mm of correct map location (250 m of actual ground location). Other map boundaries that represent colluvial, residual, and eolian deposits are less accurately placed because ground limits of these deposits are indefinite, i.e., they grade into one another. Thus, many boundaries on the map (vectorized polygons) are approximate. Another source of inaccuracy is that a material may contain inclusions of surficial materials other than the material depicted by any given map unit.
