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.

Data_Set_Credit:
Funding for the project was provided by a U. S. Geological Survey project for cooperative work with the National Park Service. D.N. Mott and J.D. MacFarland, III, provided useful knowledge and discussion during the project.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
SunOS, 5.6, sun4m UNIX ARC/INFO version 7.1.2
Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attributes were checked by manually comparing hard copy plots of the digital data with the source materials. Authors and USGS map editors performed separate reviews.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Map elements were visually checked by the authors for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, and other errors. ARC/INFO software was used to create topological relations among features. Features were not duplicated, but coincident lines exist between data layers where appropriate.
Completeness_Report:
Geologic map units were collected and digitized at appropriate resolution for portrayal on a base at 1:24000 scale. Data are complete: no features were eliminated or generalized.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were created by delineating the boundaries from scale-stable overlays on a USGS 7.5-minute topographic map at 1:24000 scale. Stable overlays were scanned at a resolution of 300 dots per inch. Potential exists for errors in location by the geologist in the field but many locations of many contacts were aided at control sites by use of a global positioning receiver with typical horizontal accuracies less than 20 m or by use of a barometric altimeter with vertical resolution of about 6 m tied to topographic contours with vertical accuracy of about 6 m.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The complete geologic map database comprises four component ArcINFO coverages (jsp24k, jsppnt, jspcontrol, and jspcontour). The jsp24k coverage contains all contact lines and label points for each of the map polygons. The jsppnt coverage includes point data that represents bedding attitude and descriptive symbology for the jsp24k coverage fault lines. The jspcontrol coverage contains point data that represents elevation control points used by the geologist during field mapping. The jspcontour coverage contains elevations of the base of the Boone Formation.
