7. How does the data set describe geographic features?

   arcs

   Characteristics of the arc feature in coverage 'wildcatgeo' are coded in the 'wildcatgeo.aat' file, the arc attribute table. The .aat file consists of the item, ARC-CODE and LINETYPE. (Source: This data set)

   arc-code

   Arc-code is a positive integer value item in the arc attribute table. Values range from 0 to 99. Arc-code describes the stratigraphic boundary, fault, or other linear feature. (Source: This coverage)

   Value	Definition
   1	Stratigraphic or intrusive contact, location certain.
   2	Stratigraphic or intrusive contact, location approximate.
   7	Shoreline or riverbank.
   36	High-angle reverse fault, location approximate, teeth on right from origin.
   37	High-angle reverse fault, location inferred, teeth on right from origin.
   51	Concealed contact.
   52	Concealed normal fault.
   54	Concealed high-angle reverse fault.
   90	Left lateral fault, location certain.
   91	Left lateral fault, location approximate.
   95	Shear zone, approximate.
   99	Bounding line (neatline) of coverage.

   polygons

   Characteristics of the polygon features are coded in the polygon attribute table (.pat file). Table 'wildcatgeo.pat' includes the following items: CLASS and ULABEL (geologic unit label). (Source: This coverage)

   Class

   CLASS is a positive integer value item in the polygon attribute table (.pat). Values range from 0 to 124. The table "wildcatgeo.lut" contains CLASS and the corresponding geologic label. (Source: This coverage)

   Value	Definition
   1	Water
   2	af - Artificial fill
   4	Qw - Wetland deposits (Quaternary)
   10	Qal - Alluvium (Holocene)
   20	Qvr - Vashon glaciation recessional deposits (Quaternary)
   23	Qvrl - Vashon glaciation recessional lacustrine deposits (Quaternary)
   30	Qvi - Vashon glaciation ice contact deposits (Quaternary)
   31	Qvt - Vashon glaciation till (Quaternary)
   40	Qva - Vashon glaciation advance outwash deposits (Quaternary)
   100	Tcb - Crescent Formation massive basalt flows (Eocene)
   101	Tcbs - Crescent Formation submarine basalt (Eocene)
   110	Tcfv - Crescent Formation felsic volcanic rock (Eocene?)
   121	Tef - Felsic intrusive rocks (Eocene?)
   122	Ted - Sheeted dikes of basalt and diabase (Eocene)
   123	Teg - Leucogabbro and pegmatite (Eocene)
   124	Tegd - Leucogabbro and pegmatite intruded by dikes of basalt and diabase (Eocene)

Why was the data set created?

Digital representation of geologic mapping facilitates the presentation and analysis of earth-science data. Digital maps may be displayed at any scale or projection, however, the geologic data in this coverage is not intended for use at a larger scale.

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: 2000 (process 1 of 2)

   This data was hand digitized in ARC/Info from an unfolded paper 1:24,000 scale compilation map. The arcs and polygons were attributed. For the purposes of distribution, the coverage has been converted to an interchange format file using the ARC/Info export command. Person who carried out this activity:

3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?
   The linework was captured by hand digitizing from an unfolded paper compilation map at 1:24,000 scale.
2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
   Users of this digital geologic map should respect the intentions of the original mappers and the limitations of the map. This geologic map compilation is intended to be used at a scale of 1:24,000; it is not intended to be used at a more detailed scale.
3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
   
4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
   These coverages were used to create the map portion of the Wildcat geologic map. Text files, tables, graphics, topography, etc. shown on the map sheet or pamphlet are not included.
5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
   This geology data set ("wildcatgeo") is a network coverage containing arcs and polygons. Each polygon has a coded attribute designating the mapped geologic unit. Faults, stratigraphic contacts, and other linear features are represented as arcs. When a fault is also a stratigraphic contact, only a single arc is present. Dangling arcs may be present (as faults, moraines, etc.)
   Coverage 'wildcatanddks' is a point coverage containing andesite dike orientaions.
   Coverage 'wildcatbdd' is a point coverage containing bedding attitude.
   Coverage 'wildcatdikes' is a point coverage containing basaltic dike orientations.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
