Description:
Abstract:
The surficial geology, wetlands, and deepwater habitats of the Coeur d' Alene
River Valley, Idaho were mapped by Arthur A. Bookstrom and Stephen E. Box
(1996-1998) onto 1:24,000 scale topographic base maps (stable-base
greenline mylars) for input into an Arc/Info geographic information
system (GIS).
Purpose:
The purpose of these GIS datasets is to show how the distribution of
floodborne contaminated sediments is related to potential sources of
clean and contaminated sediments, and to hydrologic features that
determine patterns of erosion, transport, and deposition. Mapped
geologic information indicates the configuration and distribution
of surficial geomorphic features and sedimentary deposits that result
from erosion, transport, and deposition of unconsolidated sediments.
Mapped wetland features indicate the configuration and distribution
of surficial hydrologic pathways that guide erosion, transport, and
deposition. These GIS datasets are intended to aid in process-
oriented interpretation of geochemical and biological data being
collected as a basis for natural-resource damage assessment and
restoration planning.
Supplemental_Information:
These GIS datasets were requested by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and were prepared in conjunction with the Coeur d' Alene
Tribe as part of a National Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA)
being developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior in
conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency and the
Department of Justice.
Geologic features are mapped on the river-channel bottom, its
marginal meander ridge, and highlands above the floodplain.
Wetland features are mapped according to the Wetlands
Classification System of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
which includes riverine, palustrine, and lacustrine systems.
Modifiers denote predominant vegetation which indicates
frequency and duration of inundation, water depth, organic
content, and oxidation of sediments. For detailed descriptions
of the geologic and wetland systems data model, please call
Arthur Bookstrom (509) 368-3119.

Data_Set_Credit:
Arthur A. Bookstrom and Stephen E. Box mapped the surficial geology
and wetland system units (1996-1998);
Berne L. Jackson (Coeur d'Alene Tribe) scanned the original stable-base
1:24,000-scale maps and created and attributed the GIS with preliminary
labels and linecodes.
Theodore R. Brandt (contractor) created the master Arc/Info registration
file and converted the preliminary GIS to Idaho state plane format. He
also digitized in new linework, edited the digital files, and
built lookup tables with detailed wetland system, geologic, lithologic,
and metal contamination information;
Pamela D. Derkey (USGS) provided technical assistance with the
geologic-wetland systems data model, metadata, digital documentation,
and map projections;
Steven R. Munts (contractor) assisted with digital editing;
Julie Campbell (USFW) reviewed marsh and lacustrine systems for
correctness. She also reviewed vegetation classes and subclasses.
