TAG enables identification of polygons, within a unit, of
which the geology is sufficiently distinct from that of the
overall unit. The default designation is the unit label with
the suffix A. Polygons representing unique properties other
than the default can be identified with suffixes B, C...etc.
All polygons in the Butler Peak quadrangle are designated by the
suffix A.

In our mapping in the Butler Peak quadrangle, we were guided in part by the findings of R.S. MacColl 1:36,000-scale mapping of the Rattlesnake Mountain pluton.
Technical review by David M. Miller led to significant improvements in aspects of the data base, the plot file, and in the discription of the geologic units of the Butler Peak quadrangle.
Geologic mapping and digital preparation of this report were sponsored jointly by (1) the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey and (2) the U.S. Forest Service (San Bernardino National Forest). In our digital preparation of the data set, carried out in the Geographic Information System laboratory of the Mineral Resources Survey Program of the U.S. Geological Survey in Spokane, Washington, we received valuable assistance from Paul C. Hyndman and from Rachel Hauser at the SCAMP Geographic Information System laboratory in Riverside, California.

The data set for the Butler Peak quadrangle has been prepared by the Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP), a cooperative project sponsored jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology, as part of an ongoing effort to utilize a Geographical Information System (GIS) format to create a regional digital geologic database for southern California. This regional database is being developed as a contribution to the National Geologic Map Data Base of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS. Development of the dataset for the Butler Peak quadrangle has also been supported by the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest.
The digital geologic map database for the Butler Peak quadrangle has been created as a general-purpose data set that is applicable to other land-related investigations in the earth and biological sciences. For example, the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest, is using the database as part of a study of an endangered plant species that shows preference for particular rock type environments. The Butler Peak database is not suitable for site-specific geologic evaluations at scales greater than 1:24,000 (1 in = 2,000 ft).

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?Access_Constraints: None
Use_Constraints:The Butler Peak 7.5' geologic-map database should be used to evaluate and understand the geologic character of the Butler Peak quadrangle as a whole. The data should not be used for purposes of site-specific land-use planning or site-specific geologic evaluations. The database is sufficiently detailed to identify and characterize many actual and potential geologic hazards represented by faults and landslides. However, it is not sufficiently detailed for site-specific determinations or evaluations of those features. Faults shown do not take the place of fault-rupture hazard zones designated by the California State Geologist (see Hart, 1988).
Use of the Butler Peak geologic-map database should not violate the spatial resolution of the data. Although the digital form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of any derivative maps, the detail and accuracy issues inherent in map scale limitations are also present in the digital data. The fact that this database was edited at a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher-resolution data generally are not present in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater, real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities beyond the intended resolution of the database. Similarly, although higher-resolution data is incorporated at a few places, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower-resolution data.
