Description:

Abstract:

This digital dataset, compiled from previously published and unpublished data sources, contains a personal geodatabase and raster data of features related to the repeated inundation of the Willamette Valley and Portland basin by Missoula Flood waters in Late Pleistocene time. The feature classes contained within the Will_Valley geodatabase are called 'erratics', representing the locations of ice-rafted erratics; 'contours', representing inundation levels associated with stratigraphic evidence of repeated floodings; and 'geology', representing the general distribution of Missoula Flood deposits. A stand-alone table within the geodatabase contains geologic unit descriptions for the geology polygons contained in the 'geology' feature class. Seven ESRI format raster grids are also included in this dataset that illustrate the physiography of the Willamette Valley as well as four important inundation levels. The scale of the source maps limits the spatial resolution (scale) of the database to 1:250,000 or smaller.

Purpose:

This database represents the most comprehensive compilation of Willamette Valley and Portland basin glacial erratic data to date. 400 records are contained herein, representing work from the 1920's to the present.

Access_Constraints: none
Use_Constraints:

Uses of this digital geologic map 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 edited for a scale of 1:250,000 means that higher resolution information is not present in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:250,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the database. Similarly, where this database is used in combination with other data of higher resolution, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution of these data.

Process_Description:

Dataset was compiled at 1:250,000 scale in ArcGIS 8.3. Features were imported from various digital sources and digitized from paper sources. Base elevation, shaded-relief, and hydrography grids were copied from previously generated grids. Flood inundation level grids were extracted from the elevation grid. Contour lines of 4 significant inundation elevations were generated from the elevation grid with the Spatial Analyst extension to ArcGIS 8.3.

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

249 erratic locations were digitized from a map figure in I.S. Allison (1935), in which he indicates the Public Land Office Survey sections (2.6 sq. km; 1 sq. mi) that contain erratics . Consequently, the locations and elevations of these 249 glacial erratics are less well known than others in the database, may include duplicates of erratics described in other sources, and are symbolized by gray triangles on our maps.

I.S. Allison (1935) published a comprehensive study of Willamette Valley glacial erratics. Allison's original records are not available, but 42 locations of glacial erratics were located to the quarter- or half-section in his 1935 publication [ Source field of erratics feature class = Allison(table) E.T. 8/8/03]. These 42 locations were digitized using the elevation and Public Land Survey information published by Allison (1935).
