It was produced from other compilations that incorporate more detailed geologic maps as well as additional sources. The compilation is designed to meet short-term needs until better coverage of the regional geology is available. Purpose: This preliminary geology coverage of the Piedmont and Blue Ridge in South Carolina is part of a set of coverages being assembled for the analysis of regional and national geochemical patterns that may have environmental and resource implications.

Data_Set_Part: Part_Type: ArcView shapefile Part_Name: lat_long.dbf Part_Description: ArcView shapefile that contains 1 degree latitude and longitude lines for reference. Data_Set_Part: Part_Type: ArcView shapefile Part_Name: counties.dbf Part_Description: ArcView shapefile that contains county data to be used for reference. Data_Set_Part: Part_Type: ArcView shapefile Part_Name: sources.dbf Part_Description: Shapefile that contains the principal sources of geologic map data. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Attributes were assigned based on the source maps used and edited at the discretion of J. Wright Horton, Jr. All attributes were checked against the source maps for errors and corrected as needed. Information within the ArcView project has been generalized for ease of use. For example, the background text information contains ages with ? to indicate that some are not known. However, within the tables, the ages do not have ?. This is to allow the user to query based on ages or other fields without having to perform complex queries. Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygons were checked for closure. Overshoots and undershoots have been corrected and deleted where necessary. Completeness_Report: This coverage was assembled mainly from other regional compilations listed under the heading: Principal Sources of Geologic Map Data (found in descriptions.doc). Those sources incorporate numerous, more detailed maps as well as new mapping. Modifications are based on sources listed under References Cited and Additional Sources of Geologic Data (found in descriptions.doc). Although including all of the latest geologic mapping is far beyond the intended scope of this compilation, this coverage for South Carolina is still generally more up-to-date than the comparable database coverages for North Carolina and Georgia (North Carolina Geological Survey, 1985; Georgia Geological Survey, 1976). Dikes of early Jurassic diabase as compiled separately by Bell (1988), are omitted here. The Atlantic Coastal Plain boundary is adapted from Offield and Sutphin (2000) with local modifications, and it differs slightly from that of Prowell and others (2000). Surficial geologic units are not shown in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge on this coverage or others nearby (Georgia Geologic Survey, 1976; North Carolina Geological Survey, 1985, Virginia Geological Survey, 1993), although deposits such as floodplain alluvium may be important for understanding regional geochemical patterns. Many rock types are lumped because of the compilation scale (1:500,000) and because the geology of many areas has not been mapped and studied in detail. No new fieldwork was conducted, so any errors in the source maps will be perpetuated. This compilation and others of similar scale in this region (e.g., Georgia Geological Survey, 1976; North Carolina Geological Survey, 1985) should be considered progress reports to be superseded as knowledge of the geology improves. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Rubbersheeting was performed to minimize the error. Digital maps were compared to hard copy maps and errors were corrected as needed. This map is intended to be used at a scale of 1:500,000.

Process_Step: Process_Description: J.W. Horton, Jr., conducted literature search for sources of geologic map data. Process_Date: 200005 - 200006 Process_Step: Process_Description: Emphasizing areas not previously compiled by Offield and Sutphin (2000) and Nelson and others (1998), J.W. Horton, Jr. compiled multiple sources of geologic map data in pencil on 1:500,000-scale greenline base and registered mylar overlay, with revisions to merge units and reduce inconsistencies. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: offield and nelson Process_Date: 200006 Process_Step: Process_Description: J.W. Horton, Jr. compiled map unit descriptions initially from Offield and Sutphin (2000), North Carolina Geological Survey (1985; to match across State line); Nelson and others (1998), Goldsmith and others (1988), Boland (1996), and Dennis (1995), with revisions to accommodate other source maps. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: offield, nelson, goldsmith, boland, and dennis Process_Date: 200006 - 200007 Process_Step: Process_Description: Following earlier discussions, J.W. Horton, Jr. gave a preliminary working copy of the map to S.C. State Geologist C.W. Clendenin and Scott Howard, South Carolina Geological Survey, who declined an invitation to help in compilation but provided helpful discussions and references, including the latest version of Maybin and others' (2000) general compilation. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: maybin Process_Date: 20000918 Process_Step: Process_Description: J.W. Horton Jr. wrote drafts of introduction and reference lists, which were updated as needed. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: compiled all references Process_Date: 200008 - 200009 Process_Step: Process_Description: J.W. Horton, Jr. provided copy of Offield and Sutphin's (2000) digital geologic map compilation (CD-ROM) to C.L. Dicken for integration with map. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: offield Process_Date: 200006 Process_Step: Process_Description: C.L. Dicken received Greenville quad transparency from J.W. Horton, Jr. Scanned the stable base material and converted the scanned image to a grid (two separate coverages- one for the geology and one for faults). The grids were then auto-vectorized in Arc/Info. Once all the lines were generated, the coverage was georeferenced. Some rubber sheeting was needed to decrease error for the coverages. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Greenville quad Process_Date: 20000609 Process_Step: Process_Description: C.L. Dicken received mylar sheet which contained the area of South Carolina (not including Greenville quad) to be included in this map. The mylar contained the geology and fault lines. This sheet was scanned in as lineart image. The image was converted to a grid; then converted to lines by using the GRIDLINE function in Arc/Info. The lines then were georeferenced and rubber sheeted.

Built polygon for the geology coverage and the line coverage for the faults. Tagged polygons with ID numbers and made edits as needed. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: greenville and south carolina Process_Date: 20000703 Process_Step: Process_Description: J.W. Horton, Jr. gave C.L.
