Geologic map of the Chewelah 30' x 60' quadrangle, Washington and Idaho

Version 1.0 of the Chewelah 30' x 60' geologic map database comprises six coverages, of which two contain geologic data, two contain DLG derived geo-reference data, and two contain cartographic line entities.
Geologic data represented by line entities and the polygons they delineate are contained in the coverage CHEW_GEO. For display purposes, the geology coverage contains two annotation subclasses: anno.geo contains unit labels, and anno.fault contains formal, fault names.
Feature attribution and item definitions are as follows:

PLABL coded geologic map unit label used to generate plot labels with relevant stratigraphic symbols. The geologic units with LABL designating Paleozoic (Pz), Cambrian (C), Mesozoic (Mz), and Triassic (Tr) have PLABL with substitute characters, |, _, }, and ^ respectively, that call their corresponding symbols from the GeoAge Font Group. Geologic map unit labels will plot on derivative map plots with appropriate stratigraphic symbols if PLABL is used as the source for unit labels. The GeoAge Font Group is accessed through geofont.txt. The GeoAGe Font Group and relevant information are available via annonymous FTP:

L-SYMB stores appropriate line symbol value from the lineset geoscamp2.lin (included in the data package)
L-NAME formal name of fault
Geological point data includes site-specific information describing the types and the orientation of bedding, foliation, and lineations. One annotation subclass is included in the geologic points coverage, CHEW_PTS: anno.dip displays the respective dip and plunge values associated with individual point data.
Feature attribution and item definitions are as follows:

P-SYMB calls the point-type from the markerset geoscamp2.mrk (included in the data package)
P-TAG point tag which consists of a character(s) and numerical value, e.g. FN42, allows the user to relate the point entity to its corresponding definition in the data table, points.rel

B2	Bedding, inclined, sedimentary rocks

P-DIP the dip of planar features
P-STRIKE the azimuth strike of planar features

At present, it is not possible to indicate the cardinal direction of dip using traditional conventions (traditional geologic notation allows a quadrant designation following the dip value).

P-BEARING azimuthal bearing of plunge
The two coverages that provide base-map (DLG derived) geo-reference information are CHEW_HYPS (topographic contour data) and CHEW_TRANS (cultural data/roads). Both are line coverages.
In order to facilitate plotting of the topographic information available in CHEW_HYPS, original DLG-derived attribution was retained and two additional attributes added, LTYPE and ELEV. The added attributes allow the user to descriminate between, and selectively plot, contour data.
Similarly, in addition to the original DLG-derived transportation attribution available in CHEW_TRANS, three additional attributes were added, LTYPE, USROUTE, and STROUTE. They permit the user to identify and selectively plot the various road types included in the DLG data.
Cartographic line entities are contained in CHEW_XS (two cross-section traces) and CHEW_LDR (unit label leaders). These line entities have only one attribute, L-SYMB, and all have the same value, 1.
