Abstract:

This data set maps and describes the geology of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California and contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs. The geologic map covers part of the northern San Bernardino Mountains. Bedrock units in the San Bernardino Mountains are dominated by large Cretaceous and Jurassic granitic bodies ranging in composition from monzogranite to gabbro, and include lesser Triassic monzonite. These granitic rocks intrude highly faulted and folded Late Proterozoic and Paleozoic formations representative of those found in the southern Great Basin. Low-angle thrust faults, many of them complexly folded, cut the Late Proterozoic and Paleozoic formations. A large, deformed cataclastic zone in the western part of the quadrangle cuts pre-Late Cretaceous units, and is intruded by Late Cretaceous plutons. Spanning the Pleistocene in age, large alluvial fans flank the north side of the mountains, and are dominated by debris flow deposits. Young, south dipping reverse faults, some with moderately to well eroded fault scarps, discontinuously flank the northern edge of the mountains. Young and old high-angle faults are mapped within the range.
Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the database consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage containing faults, geologic contacts and units, (2) a coverage showing structural point data, (3) a coverage containing linear structural data, (4) a coverage showing geologic line ornamentation and (5) six additional INFO data tables (.rel) that contain detailed, coded, geologic information such as texture, fabric, color, and mineralogy,. These additional data are accessible to the user through the utilization of ARC/INFO relate environments and provide the user access to as much or as little of the encoded data as required. In addition, the data set includes the following graphic and text products: (1) A PostScript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map, topography, cultural data, a Correlation of Map Units (CMU) diagram, a Description of Map Units (DMU), and a key for point and line symbols; (2) PDF files of this Readme (including the metadata file as an appendix), Description of Map Units (DMU), and a screen graphic of the plot produced by the PostScript plot file.
The geologic map database contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units as polygons, and site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum.
Version 1.1 of this digital release differs from Version 1.0 mainly by changes and additions to conform to the more recently released digital geologic map of the Butler Peak quadrangle (OF 00-145), which adjoins the Fawnskin quadrangle on the west. Along the western edge of the quadrangle several polygons of Quaternary units are added and the names of several are changed. Colors of some granitic units are changed to conform to colors assigned to the same units in the Butler Peak quadrangle.

Purpose:

The data set for the Fawnskin quadrangle has been prepared by the Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP), a cooperative project sponsored jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology, as part of an ongoing effort to utilize a Geographical Information System (GIS) format to create a regional digital geologic database for southern California. This regional database is being developed as a contribution to the National Geologic Map Data Base of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program ofthe USGS. Development of the data set for the Fawnskin quadrangle has also been supported by the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest.
The digital geologic map database for the Fawnskin quadrangle has been created as a general-purpose data set that is applicable to other land-related investigations in the earth and biological sciences. For example, the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest, is using the database as part of a study of an endangered plant species, California Buckwheat, that shows preference for particular rock types. The Fawnskin database is not suitable for site-specific geologic evaluations at scales greater than 1:24,000 (1 in = 2,000 ft).

Supplemental_Information:

Within the geologic map database, map units are identified by standard geologic map criteria such as formation-name, age, and lithology. The authors have attempted to adhere to the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey and the North American Stratigraphic Code, but the database has not received a formal editorial review of geologic names.
Geologic map unit labels entered in database items LABL and PLABL contain substitute characters for conventional stratigraphic age symbols: Cambrian appears as 'C' in LABL and as '_' in PLABL, Mesozoic appears as 'Mz' in LABL and as '}' in PLABL, Pennsylvanian as 'P' in LABL and as '&' in PLABL, Triassic appears as 'Tr' in LABL and as '^' in PLABL, and Proterozoic appears as 'Pr' in LABl and as '<' in PLABL. The substitute characters in PLABL invoke their corresponding symbols from the GeoAge font group to generate map unit labels with conventional stratigraphic symbols.

Access_Constraints: None
Use_Constraints:

The Fawnskin 7.5' geologic-map database should be used to evaluate and understand the geologic character of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle as a whole. The data should not be used for purposes of site-specific land-use planning or site-specific geologic evaluations. The database is sufficiently detailed to identify and characterize geologic materials and structures. However, it is not sufficiently detailed for site-specific determinations.
Use of this digital geologic map database 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 compiled and edited at a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher resolution information may not have been uniformly retained in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the database. Similarly, although higher resolution data is incorporated in most of the map, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution data.

Data_Set_Credit:

Technical review by Douglas M. Morton led to significant improvements that eventually were reflected in aspects of the database, the plot file, and in the description of the geologic units of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle. Digital review by R.W. Grymer allowed us to produce a much improved product.
Geologic mapping and digital preparation of this report were sponsored jointly by (1) the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey, (2) the California Division of Mines and Geology, and (3) the Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP). In our digital preparation of the data set, initiated in the SCAMP Geographic Information System laboratory in Riverside, California by Gregory Morton and completed in the Geographic Information System laboratory of the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey in Spokane, Washington by Pamela M. Cossette, we received valuable assistance from Paul C. Hyndman in Spokane, Washington, and from Rachel Alvarez in Riverside.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Geologic-map units in the Fawnskin quadrangle database were described using standard field methods. Consistent with these methods, the database author has assigned standard geologic attributes to geologic lines, points, and polygons identified in the database.
Nation-wide geologic-map accuracy standards have not been developed and adopted by the U.S. Geological Survey and other earth-science entities. Until such standards are adopted, the SCAMP project has developed internal map-accuracy standards for 1:24,000-scale geologic maps produced by the project.
Geologic lines and points on 1:24,000 scale geologic maps are judged to meet SCAMP's internal map-accuracy standards if they are located to within +/-15 meters, relative to topographic or cultural features on the base map.
Lines and points that meet (or may not meet) this SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are identified both in the digital database and on derivative geologic-map plots. Within the database, line and point data that are judged to meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by the attribute code .MEE. (meets) in the appropriate data table; line and point data that may not meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by the attribute code .MNM. (may not meet).
On any derivative geologic-map plot, line data that are judged to meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by solid lines; line data that may not meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by dashed or dotted lines. There is no cartographic device for denoting the map-accuracy for geologic-point data (eg. symbols representing bedding, foliation, lineations, etc.).

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Polygon and chain-node topology present.
The areal extent of the map is represented digitally by an appropriately projected (polyconic projection), mathematically generated box. Consequently, polygons intersecting the lines that comprise the map boundary are closed by that boundary. Polygons internal to the map boundary are completely enclosed by line segments which are themselves a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs. Point data are represented by coordinate pairs.

Completeness_Report:

The geologic map and digital database of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle, version 1.1, contain new data that have been subjected to rigorous review and are a substantially complete representation of the current state of knowledge concerning the geology of the quadrangle.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The maximum transformation RMS error acceptable for 7.5' quadrangle transformation and data input is 0.003 (1.8 meters). Horizontal positional accuracy was checked by visual comparison of hard-copy plots with base-stable source data.

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

The digital geologic map of the Fawnskin 7.5' quadrangle includes five geospatial datasets as double precision ARC/INFO coverages: fskn_geo (geology), fskn_pts (structural point data), fskn_str (structural line data), fskn_orn (line ornamentation) and fskn_ldr (annotation leaders). Geospatial entities in ARC/INFO coverages have the following software-defined attributes: <cover>.pat contains AREA, PERIMETER, cover#, and cover-ID; <cover>.aat contains FNODE#, TNODE#, LPOLY#, RPOLY#, LENGTH, cover#, and cover-ID. User-defined attributes are described in detail below.
(1) The coverage fskn_geo includes a polygon feature attribute table (fskn_geo.pat) that describes the geospatial distribution of rock units represented in the Postscript (.ps) and Portable Document Format (.pdf) plotfiles of the geologic maps and an arc feature attribute table (fskn_geo.aat) that describes the contacts and faults that bound rock-unit polygons. Line and point identity data are recorded in the .aat and .pat using a system of identity codes. Two INFO tables, lines.rel and points.rel, provide a full description of each of the geological line and point codes in the database. For display purposes in the .ps and .pdf geologic maps, the geology coverage includes two annotation subclasses: anno.geo, which contains unit labels derived from the coded item PLABL, and anno.fault, which contains formal fault names. In addition, the item TAG allows the user to access (relate to) a series of INFO data tables that contain additional, detailed, coded geologic data. A complete description of the polygon, line, and point data coding schemes is available in U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Reports 97-859, OFR 97-860, and OFR 97-861 (full source citations follow).
Six INFO data tables are included in the Fawnskin database: fawnskin_summary.rel provides general information attribute data, fawnskin_genesis.rel provides data summarizing the genesis of each of the major rock types that occur within a particular map rock unit, fawnskin_lithology.rel contains lithologic attributes for the main and secondary lithologic types in the geologic-map unit, fawnskin_paleontology.rel contains attributes that summarize information about fossil type occurrences in each of the rock types, fawnskin_protolith.rel describes rock type protoliths, and fawnskin_structure.rel contains geologic structural data. The tables have identical architecture other than fawnskin_summary.rel. The item TAG serves as the relate item and there are five additional feature attribute items, LITH1...LITH5, that represent the major rock types within a rock unit. Fawnskin_summary.rel contains seven items: TAG (the relate item), AGE (unit age), AGECON (the confidence with which a geologic age is assigned to a map unit), SURFACE (geologic and geomorphic properties that characterize the upper surface of surficial geologic units), TYPE (hierarchical classification of the specific lithologic types occurring in the map unit), CLASS (stratigraphic classification of a rock unit per the North American Code of Stratigraphic Nomenclature), and ORIGIN (geologic origin of each map unit).

(2) The coverage fskn_pts includes a point attribute table (fskn_pts.pat) that describes both the types and orientation of bedding, foliation, and lineation. An annotation subclass displays the dip or plunge values associated with the point data.
(3) The coverage fskn_str includes an arc attribute table (fskn_str.aat) that describes linear, geologic structural data.
(4) The coverage fskn_orn includes a point attribute table (fskn_orn.pat) that describes structural line ornamentation.
(5) The coverage fskn_ldr includes an arc attribute table (fskn_ldr.pat) that describes annotation leaders. Unit symbols that are placed outside the perimeter of a particular polygon identify that polygon with annotation leaders.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: SHDFIL
Attribute_Definition:

Coded integer value that relates polygon to fill pattern in shadeset, geology2.shd.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: PLABL
Attribute_Definition: Coded geologic map unit label used to generate plot label.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: NAME
Attribute_Definition: Geologic name of map unit (see list under LABL attribute).

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: TAG
Attribute_Definition:

A reference label for subgroups of polygons of the geologic-map unit identified by LABL. Each polygon subgroup has certain attributes in common with all other polygons of the map unit. However, each subgroup may have unique, distinguishing attributes which warrant recognition in the database although those distinguishing characteristics do not warrant recognition as new map units.
TAG is defined as LABL followed by an upper-case letter, e.g., QwA, QwB, or QwC, etc. There are many units in the Fawnskin quadrangle that have sufficiently distinctive properties that are identified with TAG other than the dafault A designation.
TAG serves one additional purpose: it functions as the relate item that associates each polygon with its attributes stored in the six polygon-attribute data tables identified in the Entity_and_Attribute_Overview section above.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: SHDPS
Attribute_Definition:
