Publication_Date: 2002 Title: Edition 1.0 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form vector digital data Series_Information Series_Name Publication_Information Publication_Place Online_Linkage http://pubs.usgs.gov/imap/i2593/ Description: Abstract: The paper geologic map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1° x 2° quadrangle, northwestern Montana (Harrison and others, 1998) was digitized and initially attributed by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) and remitted to the U.S. Geological Survey for further attribution and publication of the geospatial digital files. The resulting digital geologic map GIS can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of geological maps. Purpose: This digital geospatial database is one of many being created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as an ongoing effort to provide geologic information in a geographic information system (GIS) for use in spatial analysis. Supplemental_Information: This GIS dataset consists of one major ArcInfo dataset: a line and polygon file (cb250k) that contains geologic contacts and structures (lines) and geologic map rock units (polygons).

Any hardcopies utilizing these data sets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has modified the data in any way, they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed on the hardcopy map. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these data sets, nor to imply that changes they made were approved by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Miller (USGS) combined the faults coverage into the contact and rock unit coverage; and Helen Z. Kayser (contractor) attached and attributed an interim geologic map data model. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 8.1.1.649 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 area closed along the border. Segments making up the outer and inner boundaries of a polygon tie end to end to completely enclose the area. Line segments are a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs. No duplicate features exist nor do duplicate points in a data string. Intersecting lines are separated into individual line segments at the point of intersection. All nodes are represented by a single coordinate pair which indicates the beginning or end of a line segment. Completeness_Report: This digital geologic map is wholly derived from Harrison and others (1998).

The database includes a geologic linework arc attribute table, cb250k.aat, that relates to the cb250k.con (contact look-up table), cb250k.st2 (structure look-up table),and cb250k.ref (source reference look-up table) files; a rock unit polygon attribute table, cb250k.pat, that relates to the cb250k.ru (rock unit look-up table) and cb250k.ref (source reference look-up table) files.
