Process_Step:
Process_Description:
After examination of the field maps it was determined that the best method for capturing the geologic data digitally was by means of an optic scanner. Because of the condition of the paper maps and the fact that they had been hand colored, the geology was transferred to stable-base mylar overlays at the 1:250,000 scale using a fine (0.35 mm) ink pen prior to scanning. The overlays were then scanned into ARC/INFO using a Tectronics 4991 digital drum scanner. The 15 scanned images were converted into ARC/INFO coverages and edited in ARCEDIT using all 137 geologic units derived from the original field compilation maps.
