Description:
Abstract:
This digital geologic map compilation presents new polygon
(i.e., geologic map unit contacts), line (i.e., fault, fold
axis, and structure contour), and point (i.e., structural
attitude, contact elevations) vector data for the Jasper 7 1/2'
quadrangle in northern Arkansas. The map database, which is at
1:24,000-scale resolution, provides geologic coverage of an
area of current hydrogeologic, tectonic, and stratigraphic
interest. The Jasper quadrangle is located in northern Newton
and southern Boone Counties about 20 km south of the town of
Harrison. The map area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of
Ordovician, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian age that were
mildly deformed by a series of normal and strike-slip faults and
folds. The area is representative of the stratigraphic and
structural setting of the southern Ozark Dome. The Jasper
quadrangle map provides new geologic information for better
understanding groundwater flow paths in and adjacent to the
Buffalo River watershed.
Purpose:
To provide a digital geologic map database of the quadrangle
that improves understanding of the regional geologic framework
and its influence on the regional groundwater flow system.
Supplemental_Information:
The current map database incorporates geologic data
from: (1) early geologic mapping (1906) by Purdue and Miser and
(2) more recent field mapping (1995-1998) by M.R. Hudson.
Buffalo National River, under the auspices of the National
Park Service, occupies the central part of the map area.
