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This digital map database is compiled from unpublished data and new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of surficial and bedrock geology in the mapped area.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 delineates map units that are 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 1:31,680 or smaller.

Purpose:

The geologic map of the Uinkaret volcanic field area covers part of the Colorado Plateau and several large tributary canyons that make up the western part of Arizona's Grand Canyon. The map is part of a cooperative U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service project to provide geologic information for areas within the newly established Grand Canyon/Parashant Canyon National Monument. Most of the Grand Canyon and parts of the adjacent plateaus have been geologically mapped; this map fills in one of the remaining areas where uniform quality geologic mapping was needed. The geologic information presented may be useful in future related studies as to land use management, range management, and flood control programs for federal and state agencies, and private concerns.

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 (uink.eps, uink.pdf, or uink.txt). The base layer used in the preparation of the geologic map plot files was derived from four Digital Raster Graphic versions of standard USGS 7.5' quadrangles. These raster images where converted to Grid format in ARC/INFO, trimmed and seamed together, then converted to a GeoTIFF image. The resultant TIFF image was combined with geologic data to produce the final map image in Illustrator 9.0.

Use_Constraints:

Uses of this digital geologic map should not violate the spatial resolution of the map area (1:31,680) 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 1:31,680, higher resolution data is not available and will not yield greater real detail.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The databases in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO version 7. 1.2, a commercial Geographic Information System (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, CA). The files are in either raster (GRID) or vector (coverage) format. Coverages are stored in uncompressed ARC export format. ARC/INFO export files with the .e00 extension can be converted into ARC/INFO coverages in ARC/INFO and can be read by other commercially available Geographic Information Systems. Stable-base maps were scanned at the Flagstaff USGS Field site using an Optronics 5040 raster scanner at a resolution of 50 microns (508 dpi). The resulting raster file was in RLE format and converted to the RLC format using the "rle2rlc" program written by Marilyn Flyn. The RLC file was subsequently converted to an ARC/INFO Grid in ARC/INFO. The linework was vectorized using Gridline. A tic file was created in latitute and longitude and projected into the base map projection (Geographic). Tics are defined in the four extreme corners of the map are in the geologic coverages corresponding with quadrangle corners both in base maps and digital maps. The tic file was used to transform the grid into Universal Transverse Mercator projection. ARC/INFO generated an RMS (root mean square) report after transforming the original Grid (raster image) into UTM. Scanned lines were edited interactively by hand using the ARC module ARCEDIT and a series of macros and menus, polygon regions were attributed as necessary, and all artifacts and scanning errors visible at 1:31,680 were removed.

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

The databases described in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO, a commercial Geographic Information System by Environmental Systems Research Institute. Almost all the attributes in the various attribute tables of the coverages included in the report are set or calculated by ARC/INFO. The exceptions being <COVER>- ID, LINETYPE, UNIT, POINTTYPE, PATTERN, STRIKE, and DIP. LINETYPE, UNIT and POINTTYPE are author added aspects of the coverages added to the PAT or AAT and are used to describe the type of line (LINETYPE), area (UNIT), point or arcmarker ( POINTTYPE). LINETYPE and POINTTYPE are each defined with WIDTH 50, OUTPUT 50, and TYPE C (character). UNIT is defined with WIDTH 8, OUTPUT 8, and TYPE C. STRIKE and DIP are only present in UINK_ POINT.PAT, because they describe bedding orientation of point objects. Each is defined with WIDTH and OUTPUT of 3, and TYPE I ( integer). PATTERN was another author-added attribute only in UINK_POINT.PAT, and is defined by WIDTH 3, OUTPUT 3, and TYPE I. The data in PATTERN correlates directly with specific values in the UNIT field.
