Description:

Abstract:

This data is from the geologic map of the Paducah 1°x2° Sheet, digitized by the Illinois State Geological Survey, John Nelson directing. We obtained the digitized, exported coverage of faults and geology from Barb Stiff (stiff@geoserv.isgs.uiuc.edu) 1995.09.05
Our intent is to show the overall fault pattern, and to show the locations of the main exposed and near-surface faults for comparison to deep subsurface structures. We made little attempt to edit details of the digitized faults, beyond adding tick marks to indicate dip directions of a few normal faults. For details such as exact locations, fault dips, separations, and cross- cutting relations, users should consult the original geologic maps.

Purpose:

The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO US Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-0574, available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0574/

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The scale of original data varies 1:24,000 to 1:250,000 depending on various maps that were used in the compilation by Illinois Basin Consortium personnel.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

This cover had the most reliable locations and quality of the three fault covers used to portray faults in the lower Wabash Valley. Where this cover overlapped data from Illinois Basin Consortium compilation (ibcflt) or Geologic Map of Kentucky (kyflt), this data was used to erase those covers.

Process_Description:

The original arc/info coverage was in UTM projection and sent via ftp. The cover was projected to the study projection and simplified to contain only the exposed and near-surface faults. Plotting symbol code was added.
