Hampton Publication_Date: 1999 Title: Physiographic Rim of The Grand Canyon, Arizona: A Digital Database Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map Series_Information: Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 99-30 Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1999/0030/ Description: Abstract: This Open-File report is a digital physiographic map database. This physiographic map of the Grand Canyon is modified from previous versions by Billingsley and Hendricks (1989), and Billingsley and others (1997). The boundary is drawn approximately along the topographic rim of the Grand Canyon and its tributary canyons between Lees Ferry and Lake Mead (shown in red). Several isolated small mesas, buttes, and plateaus are within this area, which overall encompasses about 2,600 square miles. The Grand Canyon lies within the southwestern part of the Colorado Plateaus of northern Arizona between Lees Ferry, Colorado River Mile 0, and Lake Mead, Colorado River Mile 277. Limestone rocks of the Kaibab Formation form most of the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon, and a few volcanic rocks form the north rim of parts of the Uinkaret and Shivwits Plateaus. Limestones of the Redwall Limestone and lower Supai Group form the rim of the Hualapai Plateau area, and Limestones of Devonian and Cambrian age form the boundary rim near the mouth of Grand Canyon at the Lake Mead. The natural physiographic boundary of the Grand Canyon is roughly the area a visitor would first view any part of the Grand Canyon and its tributaries. Purpose: This pamphlet serves to introduce and describe the digital data. There is no paper map included in the Open-File report. The report does include, however, PostScript and PDF format plot files, each containing an image of the map.

(1997). Type_of_Source_Media: paper Process_Step: Process_Description: The physiograhic rim coverage contains one polygon. It was developed using elevation information contained in 100k digital line graphs (DLGs). The hypsography DLGs were downloaded from a USGS FTP (file transfer protocol) site (edcftp.cr.usgs.gov /pub/data/DLG/100K) and imported into ARC/INFO using the DLGARC command. Using on-screen digitizing, the edge of the Grand Canyon was estimated and drawn to form the rim coverage. Adjustments to this first draft of the rim were hand drawn onto a 200,000 scale paper plot of the rim, which included the DLG hypsography. These new lines were digitized into the existing rim coverage using an Altec AC32 digitizing tablet. This editing procedure was repeated one more time to produce the final rim coverage.
