Description:
Abstract:
The paper geologic map of the east part of the Pullman 1 x 2 -degree quadrangle, Idaho (Rember and Bennett, 1979) was scanned and initially attributed by Optronics Speciality Corp. Inc. (Northride, CA) and remitted to the U.S. Geological Survey for furter attribution and publication of the geospatial digital files. The resulting digital geologic map GIS can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of geological maps.
Purpose:
This dataset was developed to provide a geologic map GIS of the east part of the Pullman 1:250,000 quadrangle for use in future spatial analysis by a variety of users. These data can be printed in a variety of ways to display various geological features or used for digital analysis and modeling. This database is not meant to be used or displayed at any scale larger than 1:250,000 (e.g. 1:100,000 or 1:24,000).
Supplemental_Information:
This GIS dataset consists of one major Arc/Info dataset: a line and polygon file (pull250k) that contains geologic contacts and structures (lines) and geologic map rock units (polygons).

Data_Set_Credit:
Optronics Specialty Corp., Inc. scanned the Rember and Bennett (1979) geologic map and provided minimally attributed ArcInfo interchange-format files to the USGS;
Helen Z. Kayser (contractor) attached and attributed an interim geologic map data model; and
Michael Zientek (USGS) and Pamela D. Derkey (USGS) visually compared the hard copy plots with the source documents.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
SunOS, 5.7, sun4u UNIX ARC/INFO version 8.0
Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute accuracy was verified by manual comparison of the source with hard copy printouts and plots.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon and chain-node topology present. Polygons intersecting the neatline area closed along the border. Segments making up the outer and inner boundaries of a polygon tie end to end to completely enclose the area. Line segments are a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs. No duplicate features exist nor do duplicate points in a data string. Intersecting lines are separated into individual line segments at the point of intersection. All nodes are represented by a single coordinate pair which indicates the beginning or end of a line segment.
Completeness_Report:
This digital geologic map is wholly derived from Rember, and Bennett (1979). Scratch boundaries were added by the author (Kayser, 2001).
