Description:

Abstract:

This dataset represents surficial geologic mapping of parts of the Misheguk Mountain and Baird Mountains quadrangles containing the Noatak National Preserve. It is used to create the mapsheet in 03-367, which shows surficial deposits of the 1:250,000 scale Misheguk Mountain and Baird Mountains quadrangles in north western Alaska.

Purpose:

Digital representation of geologic mapping facilitates the presentation and analysis of earth-science data. Digital maps may be displayed at any scale or projection, however the geologic data in this coverage is not intended for use at a scale larger than 1:250,000.

Data_Set_Credit:

This digital coverage was created by Keith Labay, SAIC contractor.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

Data set was created using ESRI ARC/Info version 7.2.1 on a Unix platform.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The linework was captured by scanning an inked greenline overlay to create a TIFF that was then heads up digitized. After digitizing the file was attributed in ARC/INFO. The digital data has been visually checked against the original.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Coverage noatakgeol is a network coverage containing arcs and polygons. Each polygon has a coded attribute designating the mapped geologic unit. Stratigraphic contacts and water boundaries are represented as arcs. There are two associated info files noatakgeol.lut and noatakgeol.lut2 that were used to assign symbols, overprints, and labels when plotting from ARC/INFO.
Coverage noatak_pnt is a point coverage used to place symbols for directional arrows and passes.

Completeness_Report:

These coverages were used to create the map portion of 03-367. Text files, tables, graphics, symbolsets, and topography shown on the map sheet are not included.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Users of this digital geologic map should respect the intentions of the original mappers and the limitations of the map. This geologic map compilation is intended to be used at a scale of 1:250,000; it is not intended to be used at a more detailed scale.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The linework was captured by scanning an inked greenline overlay to create a TIFF that was then heads up digitized. After digitizing the arcs and polygons were attributed. For the purpose of distribution, the coverage has been converted to an interchange format file using the ARC/INFO export command.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:

Detailed_Description:

Entity_Type:

Entity_Type_Label: arcs
Entity_Type_Definition:

Characteristics of the arc features in coverage noatakgeol are coded in noatakgeol.aat, the arc attribute table. The .aat consists of the following items: ARC-CODE and LTYPE.

Entity_Type_Definition_Source: This dataset

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: ARC-CODE
Attribute_Definition:

ARC-CODE is a positive integer value (3 3 I) item in the arc attribute table. Values range from 1 to 104. ARC-CODE identifies a stratigraphic boundary, fault, or other linear feature. The ARC-CODE is described by the item LTYPE.

Detailed_Description:

Entity_Type:

Entity_Type_Label: polygons
Entity_Type_Definition:

Characteristics of the polygon features are coded in the polygon attribute table. Table noatakgeol.pat includes the following items: CLASS, FORMATION (geologic unit label), NAME (geologic unit name), and COMPOUND.

Entity_Type_Definition_Source: This dataset

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: CLASS
Attribute_Definition:

CLASS is a positive integer value (4 5 B) item in the polygon attribute table. Values range from 1 to 263. Every unique unit has a unique CLASS value. Each CLASS value listed below is defined by the information from the FORMATION (12 12 c) item which contains the geologic unit label if one was assigned, and by the NAME (120 120 c) item which gives the name of the unit. Map units shown in parentheses indicate thin and generally discontinuous deposits above near-surface bedrock. Unit labels containing a slash indicate compound units where one unit is stratigraphically above another. Units queried where uncertain.
