Description:
Abstract:
The geology of the Wallace 1:100,000 quadrangle, Idaho was compiled by Reed S. Lewis in 1997 and supplemented by field mapping by Reed S. Lewis, Russell F. Burmester, and Mark D. McFaddan in 1997 and 1998. The geologic map information was inked onto a 1:100,000-scale topographic base map 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 geologic map GIS of the Idaho portion of the Wallace 1:100,000 quadrangle for use in future spatial analysis by a variety of users.
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 two major Arc/Info datasets: one line and polygon file (wa100k) containing geologic contacts and structures (lines) and geologic map rock units (polygons), and one point file (wapnt) containing structural data.

Data_Set_Credit:
Reed S. Lewis, Russell F. Burmester and Mark D. McFadden compiled and mapped the geology onto stable-base material;
Optronics Specialty Co., Inc. scanned the geologic map and provided minimally attributed Arc/Info interchange-format files to the USGS;
Pamela D. Derkey (USGS) imported the files, transformed them to UTM zone 11 (with a y-shift) and attached and attributed an interim geologic map data model;
Thomas P. Frost (USGS) visually compared the hard copy plots with the source;
Jon R. Oblad (EWU) annotated the point data for output at a scale of 1:100,000.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
SunOS, 5.5.1, sun4u UNIX ARC/INFO version 7.1.1
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:
Geologic units were both compiled from previously existing geologic maps generally ranging in scale from 1:24,000 to 1:48,000 and mapped in the field at a scale of 1:24,000. Some small units and those obscured by dense forest cover may not be included in this dataset.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The horizontal positional accuracy for the digital data is no better than +/- 6 meters based on the transformation RMS error. It was tested by visual comparison of the source with hard copy plots.

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The 'Digital geologic map of the Wallace 1:100,000 quadrangle, Idaho' Open-File Report 99-390 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, wa100k.aat, that relates to the wa100k.con (contact look-up table), wa100k.str (structure look-up table), wa100k.lgu (linear geologic unit look-up table) and wa100k.ref (source reference look-up table) files; a rock unit polygon attribute table, wa100k.pat, that relates to the wa100k.ru (rock unit look-up table) and wa100k.ref (source reference look-up table) files; and a geologic map symbol point attribute table, wapnt.pat, that relates to the wapnt.sym (structural point data look-up tables) and wapnt.ref (source reference look-up table) files.
