The river and lake lie downstream of the Coeur d'Alene mining district, where over 56 million metric tonnes of metal-enriched tailings were disposed into the Coeur d'Alene River between 1886 and 1968 (Long, 1998). Geochemical analyses of riverine sediments in the Spokane River by the Washington Dept of Ecology (Johnson, 1999), the US Geological Survey (Grosbois and others, 2001; Box and others, in prep.) and an EPA contractor (URS Greiner, 2000, 2001) have indicated that Spokane River sediments are variably enriched in metals derived from those tailings. In this report we present a surficial geologic map (plates 1 through 8) of the unconsolidated deposits within and along the Spokane River in eastern Washington between the Idaho stateline and the confluence with Latah Creek about 20 miles downstream. Existing sample datasets for sediments and soils in and along the Spokane River are also located on the map and the surficial geologic unit that was sampled is noted. This work was undertaken in cooperation with the Washington Department of Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency. Purpose: The digital map was prepared in cooperation with the Department of Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency to aid in the interpretation of the distribution, sources, and transport processes of metal- enriched sediment in and along the Spokane River. These agencies are evaluating the relative metal enrichment in the riverine sediments due to concerns of potential health impacts to humans, waterfowl, and aquatic organisms. Supplemental_Information: The digital surficial geologic map of the Spokane River channel and its margins in Washington between the Idaho state line and the confluence of Latah Creek was compiled on a base of 1:12,000 scale Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) from field maps prepared on 1:3,000 scale paper printouts of the DOQQs in August and September of 2000. The units are defined by the lithologic character of the surficial sediment and by their geomorphological settings. The digital dataset discussed here (geol-units.met) consist of one ArcView shape file (srgeounits.shp/.sbn/.sbx/.shx/.dbf/.avl) that provide the polygon outlines and identify the underlying lithologic units, projected in UTM zone 11, North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27).

Process_Step: Process_Description: DOQQs were used in ArcView 3.1 to transfer the field notes, drawings, and map interpretations of Spokane River lithology into a GIS layer where polygons were digitized. Polygons were hand digitized on screen using DOQQs as theme overlays at scales of 1:12,000 and larger with a hand operated mouse in ArcView 3.1. Polygon line work was based on geologic mapping on 1:3,000 scale DOQQs printouts that were used for field maps. The ArcView script calcacre.ave was used to calculate the area (in square meters), the area in acres, and the perimeter (in meters) of all polygons in srgeounits.shp while projected in UTM NAD27.
