Description:
Abstract:
The geology of Spokane County and vicinity, Washington and Idaho was compiled from Carrara and others (1995), Joseph (1990), Kiver and others (1979), Miller (written communication, 1995), and Waggoner (1990a, b) for input into an Arc/Info geographic information system (GIS). The digital geologic map database can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of derivative geologic maps.
Purpose:
This dataset was developed to provide a geologic map GIS of Spokane County for use in future spatial analysis by a variety of users. These data will better enable Spokane County agencies to predict the likely occurrence of additional mineral lands, primarily containing sand, gravel, rock and clay deposits.
This database is not meant to be used or displayed at any scale larger than 1:100,000 (e.g., 1:62,500 or 1:24,000).
Supplemental_Information:
This GIS consists of four major Arc/Info datasets: one line and polygon file (spokco) containing geologic contacts and structures (lines) and geologic map rock units (polygons), and three point files (spcopnt1, spcopnt2, and spcopnt3) containing structural point data.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute accuracy was verified by manual comparison of the source with hard copy printouts and plots.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon and chain-node topology present. Polygons intersecting the neatline are closed along the border. Segments making up the outer and inner boundaries of a poygon tie end-to-end to completely enclose the area. Line segments are a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs. No duplicate features exist nor duplicate points in a data string. Intersecting lines are separated into individual line segments at the point of intersection. Point data are represented by two sets of coordinate pairs, each with the same coordinate values. All nodes are represented by a single coordinate pair which indicates the beginning or end of a line segment. The neatline was generated by mathematically generating the four sides of the quadrangle, densifying the lines of latitude and projecting the file to UTM zone 11 (with a y-shift).
Completeness_Report:
This dataset was produced from previously published reports (Carrara and others, 1995; Derkey and others, 1998; Johnson and Derkey, 1998; Joseph, 1990; Kiver and others, 1979; and Waggoner, 1990a, b) and from unpublished field mapping by Miller (written communication, 1995). These sources are considered to be the best geologic maps available for the area at a scale of 1:100,000.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The horizontal positional accuracy for the digital data is probably no better than +/- 70 meters. It was tested by visual comparison of the source with hard copy plots.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The digital geologic maps of the Spokane and Rosalia quadrangles (Johnson and Derkey, 1998 and Derkey and others, 1998) were edgematched in Arc/Info GIS. Linework for the Chewelah quadrangle was digitized from Miller (written communication, 1995), Carrara and others (1995) and Waggoner (1990a) and edgematched to the Spokane-Rosalia map. T.P. Frost and R.E. Derkey resolved mis-matches across the Chewelah-Spokane quadrangle boundary by checking the contacts in the field. Structural point data for the Chewelah quadrangle was digitized from Miller (written communication, 1995).

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The 'Digital geologic map of Spokane County and vicinity, Washington and Idaho' Open-File Report 98-503 contains a detailed description of each attribute code and a reference to the associated map symbols on the map source materials. The GIS includes a geologic linework arc attribute table, spokco.aat, that relates to the spokco.con (contact look-up table), spokco.str (structure look-up table), spokco.lgu (linear geologic unit look-up table) and spokco.ref (source reference look-up table) files; a rock unit polygon attribute table, spokco.pat, that relates to the spokco.ru (rock unit look-up table) and spokco.ref (source reference look-up table) files; and three geologic map symbol point attribute tables, spcopnt1.pat, spcopnt2.pat, and spcopnt3.pat, that relate to the *pnt*.sym (structural point data look-up tables) and *pnt*.ref (source reference look-up table) files for each of the 1:100,000 quadrangles used in the Spokane County digital compilation.
