Eldred D. Wilson, Richard T. Moore, and John R. Cooper compiled the geologic map of which an acetate archive copy of the separates were located in Reston VA. Robert Miller (USGS) attached fiducial tics to assure registration accuracy. Optronics Specialty Co., Inc. scanned the geologic map and provided minimally attributed Arc/Info interchange-format files to the USGS.
Douglas M. Hirschberg imported the files, transformed them to Lambert Conformal Conic, attached and attributed an interim geologic map data model, verified arc, point, and polygon attribution, added, re-positioned, or re-attributed features as needed, and assisted in creating the look-up tables.
G. Stephen Pitts assisted with the design of the data model, entered the explanatory and source text, assisted in creating the look-up tables, and wrote the metadata.
This database was developed to provide a GIS of the geologic map of the State of Arizona for use at a scale of 1:500,000 or smaller. This GIS is intended for use in future spatial analysis by a variety of users. The geologic unit descriptions for this map may be updated to reflect more current description of structures and the geochronology of the map units.
This database is not meant to be used or displayed at any scale larger than 1:500,000 (e.g., 1:100,000 or 1:24,000)
