Description:
Abstract:
This digital map database is compiled from unpublished data and
new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of
surficial and bedrock geology in the mapped area. Together with
the accompanying pamphlet, it provides current information on the
geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area. The database
delineate map units thatare identified by age and lithology
following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological
Survey. The scale of the source maps limits the spatial
resolution of the database to 1:24,000 or smaller.
Purpose:
This geologic map is part of a cooperative project between the
U.S. Geological Survey and the Kaibab National Forest Service to
provide geologic information for the Paradine Plains Cactus
(Pediocactus pardinei B,W. Benson) Conservation Assessment and
Strategy conducted by the Kaibab National Forest, Williams,
Arizona. The map area includes part of House Rock Valley and part
of the Kaibab Plateau, sub- physiographic provinces of the
Colorado Plateau. This part of the Colorado Plateau was not
previously mapped in adequate geologic detail. This map completes
one of several remaining areas where uniform quality geologic
mapping was needed. The geologic information in this report may
be useful to land management, range management, and flood control
programs for all federal and state agencies, and private affairs.
Supplemental_Information:
This report consists of a set of geologic map database files (ARC/
INFO coverages) and supporting text and plot files. In addition,
the report includes two sets of plot files (Post Script and PDF
format) that will generate map sheets and pamphlets similar to a
traditional USGS Miscellaneous Field Studies Report. These files
are described in the explanatory pamphlets (canegeo.doc, canegeo.
pdf, or canegeo.txt). The base layer used in the preparation of
the geologic map plot files was derived from a Digital Raster
Graphic of a standard USGS 7.5' quadrangle. This raster image was
converted to Grid format in ARC/INFO, trimmed and rotated, then
converted to a GeoTIFF image. The resultant TIFF image was
combined with geologic data to produce the final map layout in
Illustrator 8.0.

Use_Constraints:
Uses of this digital geologic map should not violate the spatial
resolution of the map area (1:24,000) even though the digital data
form removes the constraint of scale on a paper map. The accuracy
inherent in map scale are also present in digital format. At a
scale larger than 1:24,000, higher resolution data is not
available and will not yield greater real detail.
