Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1997/ofr-97-0852/ Description: Abstract: This map has been superseded by USGS Open-File Report 97-852. This database of the Rifle 7.5 minute quadrangle, Garfield county, Colorado originally released as U.S Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-52, has been updated to include a digitized database. This geologic map was prepared as part of a study of digital methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic maps. Purpose: To provide to the public a digital geologic map database of the Rifle 7.5 minute quadrangle.

Green in preparation of the digitized version of this geologic map. Native_Data_Set_Environment: This database was developed on a SPARCstation 20 computer system using ARC/INFO 7.0.2 software. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Notes from USGS Open-File Report 97-852 indicate that this map has incorrect locations for some of the bedrock sequence contacts, incomplete subdivision of mappable units in bedrock, and incorrect location and identification of folds in bedrock. Logical_Consistency_Report: This geologic map was prepared as part of a study of digital methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic maps. The geologic map was scanned from the original greenline sheets used to prepare the published Open-File map of the Rifle quadrangle (Shroba and others, 1995). Completeness_Report: Notes from USGS Open-File Report 97-852 state that this map lacks drill-hole information, which is shown on the later map.

Process_Step: Process_Description: This geologic map was prepared as part of a study of digital methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic maps. The geologic map was scanned from the original greenline sheets used to prepare the published Open-File map of the Rifle quadrangle (Shroba and others, 1995). Consequently, the digital version is at 1:24,000 scale using the Polyconic map projection parameters of the topographic base map. Stable base contact prints of the greenline sheets were scanned on an Ana Tech Eagle 408ET scanner to produce a .tif file. These files were then transferred to a Sun SPARCstation 20 computer where they were converted into ARC/INFO format. Each vector and polygon was given attributes derived from the original 1993 geologic map using ALACARTE (Wentworth and Fitzgibbon, 1991) software. Process_Date: 1995 Process_Step: Process_Description: The preliminary map described in this metadata record was revised in 1996 with additional field work. However the new map was produced using software that allows it to be printed or viewed only, not used in a GIS.
