    Description:
      Abstract:
        The bedrock geology of the 7.5-minute Windham quadrangle, New Hampshire
        consists of deformed early Paleozoic crystalline metamorphic and intrusive
        igneous rocks intruded by Mesozoic igneous dikes.

        The geologic data was mapped during the summer of 1998 at a scale of
        1:24,000.  The bedrock geology was mapped using standard techniques.
        Locational information was provided by Rockwell PLGR+96 GPS receivers
        using the federal precise positioning service.

        The line and polygon data were compiled on a mylar greenline of the
        7.5-minute quadrangle and scanned at 400 dpi on an Anatech Eagle 4080T
        scanner.  The raster files (TIF) were converted to vector files (DXF)
        using GTX OSR version 2.0 raster-to-vector conversion software.  The
        vector files were imported to Arc/Info version 7.0.4. Point data
        were collected with GPS and hand-held 3COM Palm Pilot III PDA computers.
        Data from the PDAs were combined in Microsoft Access, and then imported
        as ASCII text files and DBASE IV (dbf) files into Arc/Info.  The Arc/Info coverages
        were registered and transformed to the New Hampshire State Plane Coordinate
        system.
      Purpose:
        The map was published as part of a study of the fractured bedrock aquifers
        in the state of New Hampshire.  The digital data are intended for use by
        all government, academic, commercial, or other agencies in need of digital
        geologic map information.
