Larsen, J.C. Assmus, K.C. Causey, D.C. Zientek, M.L. 2004 raster digital data U.S. Geological Survey Data Series DS 106 Menlo Park, CA U.S. Geological Survey TBD The 42 georeferenced images included in this report represent digital images of geologic maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for an area surrounding and including the northern Rocky Mountains. These rectified images were created for the purpose of visually comparing published geologic maps with other geospatial information in a geographic information system (GIS). However, they cannot be queried or used for spatial analysis thus limiting their use in a GIS. The images range in scale from 1:250,000 to 1:100,000. These rectified images will allow for the quick comparison of geologic information with other datasets in a geographic information system (GIS). Individual rectified images of previously published USGS geolgic maps can be viewed along with other digital data, or combined to form one large mosaic of map images for the entire area. Furthermore, the rectified images can be compared to vector representations of the same map to ensure that features are coded correctly and that all geologic information on the published map was captured in the vector files. Each image also quickly illustrates how the author intended to symbolize the map. This metadata file describes the 27 images in this report that are projected in UTM zone 12 NAD 1927 coordinate system. This file applies equally to all images described herein, with the exception of those elements shown in the table below. Such elements specific to individual raster images include Bounding_Coordinates in latitude and longitude (WestBC, EastBC, NorthBC, and SouthBC), Column_Count and Row_Count of pixels (width and height, respectively), and Coordinate_Representation expressed in meters (Resolution). > File name WestBC EastBC NorthBC SouthBC Width Height Resolution > Absk_Beartooth -117.034173 -115.960822 48.012857 47.489396 9896 5374 16.332099 > Bearpaw_geo -110.179268 -108.945751 48.640108 47.824000 8312 8229 10.823385 > Bearpaw_tec -110.321301 -108.941877 48.651730 47.745760 9518 9315 10.587361 > Blkfeet_bed -113.622991 -112.207231 49.026113 48.137318 9613 9071 10.616956 > Blkfeet_sur -113.628789 -112.206500 49.026951 48.136748 9651 9078 10.624357 > BobMarshall -114.105980 -112.602624 48.535949 46.961933 9826 15699 10.945136 > BoulderBath -112.830570 -111.458960 46.733576 45.602702 8390 10008 12.409311 > Butte_MF1925 -114.085715 -111.924699 47.050795 45.945716 9957 7260 16.361209 > Butte_OF86_292 -114.102582 -111.907460 47.068572 45.926912 10103 7499 16.374044 > ChallisNF -114.632622 -112.662174 45.056012 43.441845 6925 7964 21.926874 > Choteau_geo -114.086916 -111.943696 48.052744 46.955019 7323 5454 21.635773 > Choteau_str -114.089166 -111.936885 48.047211 46.949079 7309 5421 21.773421 > Cutbank -114.092309 -112.422650 49.042712 47.953093 5489 5385 21.855775 > Dillon -114.076748 -111.938431 46.051185 44.943173 7541 5471 21.773280 > Dist_belt_N -113.769356 -112.504922 49.033986 47.969230 8268 10623 10.912862 > Dist_belt_S -113.602547 -111.954484 48.032764 46.962861 11211 10720 10.839831 > Ennis_I2690 -112.022326 -110.986361 45.509873 44.989789 6374 4467 12.781161 > Ennis_OF97_851 -112.022326 -110.986361 45.509873 44.989789 9481 6710 8.536156 > GallatinNF_N -111.165783 -110.107923 46.317729 45.648695 7500 6810 10.859884 > GallatinNF_W -111.642123 -110.700356 45.699295 44.460510 6815 12773 10.758793 > GlacierNP_bed -114.583573 -113.110645 49.055183 48.174532 11948 10689 8.803642 > GlacierNP_sur -114.573999 -113.113389 49.042531 48.176095 11899 10554 8.769702 > HebgenLake -112.034551 -110.971726 45.009347 44.490653 9826 6699 8.524560 > HelenaNF_E -111.995681 -110.941694 46.956098 46.088617 9872 11807 8.124381 > HelenaNF_W -113.053496 -111.940307 47.295342 46.093872 10060 16070 8.213640 > SalmonNF_E -114.090480 -112.922707 45.537688 44.261784 6239 9868 14.102407 > YellowstoneNP -111.184509 -109.754340 45.132609 44.110134 10558 10572 10.652954 -117.034173 -108.941877 49.055183 43.441845 geologic map rectified raster image digital image georeferenced image northern Rocky Mountains Montana Idaho Washington Wyoming none Michael L.

RAster Georeference Enabler (RAGE) 1.1.17. The title, text, explanation, cross section, index maps and collar information on the original data source maps are cropped or partially cropped in the georeferenced MrSID and TIFF images. Rectified images were tested to ensure they were projected and georeferenced properly by overlying each image with mathematically-generated vector polygon spatial databases, grid tic coverages, or other rectified images. For example, quadrangle map images were compared to a shapefile of 1:100,000-scale quadrangles, while other geologic map images were overlain with a latitude and longitude tic point coverage that was mathematically generated using ARC/INFO. At the scale of publication, the images fall within the boundaries of the corresponding 1:100,000-scale quadrangle, or reference points on the images coincide with corresponding reference points of the tic file.

The original PDF was opened in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and saved as a 300 dpi, color TIFF image. Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, the TIFF image was cropped to include only the map and marginal coordinate information and then color balanced. A polygon shapefile of 1:100,000-scale quadrangles (hwquad100g.shp) and a UTM projected tic coverage of latitude and longitude coordinate points (tic120602utm) were used to rectify the image with ArcMap 8.3. Two corners of the image were tied to the corresponding quadrangle corners in the hwquad100g.shp file. Where additional latitude and longitude intersections were displayed on the source map, they, too, were tied to their respective locations (tics) in the tic120602utm coverage. The rectified TIFF was then opened in LizardTech GeoExpress 3.0 and converted to MrSID image format using a 10:1 compression ratio. The resulting image file has a SID (*.sid) extension. ArcGIS did not recognize coordinate information for these files, so 3001, Inc's RAster Georeference Enabler (RAGE) tool was used to associate coordinate information with the MrSID image.
