Abstract:
This data set maps and describes the geology of the San Bernardino North 7.5' quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California. Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the data base consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage containing geologic contacts and units, (2) attribute tables for geologic units (polygons), contacts (arcs), and site-specific data (points). In addition, the data set includes the following graphic and text products: (1) A PostScript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map, topography, cultural data, a Correlation of Map Units (CMU) diagram, a Description of Map Units (DMU), an index map, a regional geologic and structure map, and a key for point and line symbols; (2) PDF files of this Readme (including the metadata file as an appendix), Description of Map Units (DMU), and the graphic produced by the PostScript plot file.
The geologic map covers a part of the southwestern San Bernardino Mountains and the northwestern San Bernardino basin. Granitic and metamorphic rocks underlie most of the mountain area, and a complex array of Quaternary deposits fill the basin. These two areas are separated by strands of the seismically active San Andreas Fault. Bedrock units in the San Bernardino Mountains are dominated by large Cretaceous and Jurassic granitic bodies, ranging in composition from monzogranite to monzodiorite, and include lesser Triassic monzonite. The younger of these granitic rocks intrude a complex assemblage of gneiss, marble, and granitic rock of probable early Mesozoic age; the relationship between these metemorphic rocks and the Triassic rocks is unknown. Spanning the Pleistocene in age, large and small alluvial bodies emerge from the San Bernardino Mountains, and and fill the San Bernardino basin. In the southwestern part of the quadrangle, Cajon Wash carries sediments from both the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains, and Lytle Creek heads in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains. Limited bedrock areas showing through the Quaternary sediments of the basin consist exclusively of Mesozoic Pelona Schist locally intruded by Tertairy dikes. Youthful-appearing fault scarps discontinuously mark the traces of the San Andreas Fault along the southern edge of the San Bernardino Mountains. Unnamed Tertiary sedimentary rocks are bounded by two strands of the fault between Badger Canyon and the east edge of the quadrangle. Young and old high-angle faults cut bedrock units within the San Bernardino Mountains, and the buried, seismically active San Jacinto Fault traverses the southwestern part of the quadrangle.
The geologic map database contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs. This digital Open-File map superceeds an older analog Open-File map of the quadrangle, and includes extensive new data on the Quaternary deposits, and revises some fault and bedrock distribution within the San Bernardino Mountains. The digital map was compiled on a base-stable cronoflex copy of the San Bernardino North 7.5' topographic base and then scribed. This scribe guide was used to make a 0.007 mil blackline clear-film, which was scanned at 1200 DPI by Optronics Specialty Company, Northridge, California; minor hand-digitized additions were made at the USGS. Lines, points, and polygonswere subsequently edited at the USGS using standard ARC/INFO commands. Digitizing and editing artifacts significant enough to display at a scale of 1:24,000 were corrected. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units as polygons, and site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum.
Purpose:
The data set for the San Bernardino North 7.5' quadrangle was prepared under the U.S. Geological Survey Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP) as part of an ongoing effort to develop a regional geologic framework of southern California, and to utilize a Geographical Information System (GIS) format to create regional digital geologic databases. These regional databases are being developed as contributions to the National Geologic Map Database of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS.
The digital geologic map database for the San Bernardino North 7.5' 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, it can be used for groundwater studies in the San Bernardino basin, and for mineral resource evaluation studies, animal and plant habitat studies, and soil studies in the San Bernardino National Forest. The database is not suitable for site-specific geologic evaluations.

Access_Constraints: None
Use_Constraints:
The San Bernardino North 7.5' geologic-map database should be used to evaluate and understand the geologic character of the San Bernardino North 7.5' 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 geologic materials and structures. However, it is not sufficiently detailed for site-specific determinations.
Use of this digital 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 a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in the digital data. The fact that this database was compiled and edited at a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher resolution information may not have been uniformly retained in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the database. Similarly, although higher resolution data is incorporated in parts of the map, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution data.

Data_Set_Credit:
Technical review by D. M. Morton led to significant improvements that eventually were reflected in aspects of the database, the plot file, and in the description of the geologic units of the San Bernardino North 7.5' 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, (2) the California Division of Mines and Geology, and (3) the Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP). In our digital preparation of the data set, carried out in the Geographic Information System laboratory of the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey in Spokane, Washington by Pamela M. Cossette, we received valuable assistance from Paul C. Hyndman in Spokane, Washington, and from Rachel Hauser at the SCAMP Geographic Information System laboratory in Riverside, California.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Geologic-map units in the San Bernardino North quadrangle database were described using standard field methods. Consistent with these methods, the database author has assigned standard geologic attributes to geologic lines, points, and polygons identified in the database.
Nation-wide geologic-map accuracy standards have not been developed and adopted by the U.S. Geological Survey and other earth-science entities. Until such standards are adopted, the SCAMP project has developed internal map-accuracy standards for 1:24,000-scale geologic maps produced by the project.
Geologic lines and points on 1:24,000 scale geologic maps are judged to meet SCAMP's internal map-accuracy standards if they are located to within +/-15 meters, relative to topographic or cultural features on the base map.
Lines and points that meet (or may not meet) this SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are identified both in the digital database and on derivative geologic-map plots. Within the database, line and point data that are judged to meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by the attribute code .MEE. (meets) in the appropriate data table; line and point data that may not meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by the attribute code .MNM. (may not meet).
On any derivative geologic-map plot, line data that are judged to meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by solid lines; line data that may not meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by dashed or dotted lines. There is no cartographic device for denoting the map-accuracy for geologic-point data (eg. symbols representing bedding, foliation, lineations, etc.).
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon and chain-node topology present.
The areal extent of the map is represented digitally by an appropriately projected (Polyconic projection), mathematically generated box. Consequently, polygons intersecting the lines that comprise the map boundary are closed by that boundary. Polygons internal to the map boundary are completely enclosed by line segments which are themselves a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs. Point data are represented by coordinate pairs.
Completeness_Report:
The geologic map and digital database of the San Bernardino North 7.5' quadrangle contain new data that have been subjected to rigorous review and are a substantially complete representation of the current state of knowledge concerning the geology of the quadrangle.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Version 1.0 of the San Bernardino North 7.5' quadrangle comprises four ARC/INFO coverages, of which two contain geologic data and two contain cartographic features: sbnorth_geo (geology), sbnorth_str (structural point data), sbnorth_orn (structural line ornamentation), and sbnorth_ldr (annotation leaders). Two INFO tables, lines.rel and points.rel provide a full description of each of the geologic line and point features in the database. A full source citation is provided in the Entity_and Attribute_Detail_Citation section of this metadata document.
Geologic data represented by line entities and the polygons they delineate are contained in the coverage SBNORTH_GEO. For display purposes, the geology coverage contains two annotation subclasses: anno.geo contains unit labels, and anno.fault contains formal, fault names.
Geological point data includes site-specific information describing the types and the orientation of bedding, foliation, and lineations. One annotation subclass is included in the geologic points coverage, SBNORTH_ATTITUDE: anno.dip displays the respective dip and plunge values associated with individual point data.
