The map database, which is at 1:24,000-scale resolution, provides geologic coverage of an area of current hydrogeologic, tectonic, and stratigraphic interest. The Jasper quadrangle is located in northern Newton and southern Boone Counties about 20 km south of the town of Harrison. The map area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of Ordovician, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian age that were mildly deformed by a series of normal and strike-slip faults and folds. The area is representative of the stratigraphic and structural setting of the southern Ozark Dome. The Jasper quadrangle map provides new geologic information for better understanding groundwater flow paths in and adjacent to the Buffalo River watershed. Purpose: To provide a digital geologic map database of the quadrangle that improves understanding of the regional geologic framework and its influence on the regional groundwater flow system. Supplemental_Information: The current map database incorporates geologic data from: (1) early geologic mapping (1906) by Purdue and Miser and (2) more recent field mapping (1995-1998) by M.R. Hudson. Buffalo National River, under the auspices of the National Park Service, occupies the central part of the map area. >FILES INCLUDED WITH THIS DATA SET: >jsp24k: geology polygon coverage >jsppnt: strike/dip point locations and data >jspcontrol: field elevation control points >jspcontour: structure contours on the top of the Boone Formation >geoscamp1.lin: geologic line symbols >geoscamp1.mrk: geologic marker symbols >fnt037: font used with geoscamp1.mrk >wpgcmykg.shd: shadeset used to color polygons in jsp24k coverage >fnt027: font containing geologic age symbols Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2000 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: Mapping is continuing in adjacent areas and a revised compilation map may be completed in the future.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: SunOS, 5.6, sun4m UNIX ARC/INFO version 7.1.2 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Attributes were checked by manually comparing hard copy plots of the digital data with the source materials. Authors and USGS map editors performed separate reviews. Logical_Consistency_Report: Map elements were visually checked by the authors for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, and other errors. ARC/INFO software was used to create topological relations among features. Features were not duplicated, but coincident lines exist between data layers where appropriate. Completeness_Report: Geologic map units were collected and digitized at appropriate resolution for portrayal on a base at 1:24000 scale. Data are complete: no features were eliminated or generalized. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The data were created by delineating the boundaries from scale-stable overlays on a USGS 7.5-minute topographic map at 1:24000 scale. Stable overlays were scanned at a resolution of 300 dots per inch. Potential exists for errors in location by the geologist in the field but many locations of many contacts were aided at control sites by use of a global positioning receiver with typical horizontal accuracies less than 20 m or by use of a barometric altimeter with vertical resolution of about 6 m tied to topographic contours with vertical accuracy of about 6 m. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The original map data were manually transferred to separate stable mylar overlays registered to a stable-base USGS 7.5 minute topographic map. Process_Date: 1999 Process_Step: Process_Description: Mylar base materials were scanned at 300 dpi. Process_Date: 1999 Process_Step: Process_Description: TIFF files of the scanned map overlays were auto-vectorized using the LT4X CAD program, and the resulting vector files imported into ArcInfo. Process_Date: 1999 Process_Step: Process_Description: Text map unit descriptors were added to the .AAT and .PAT database files for each coverage. Process_Date: 2000 Process_Step: Process_Description: Draft check plots of the geologic map and explanation were created and submitted for peer review. Geologists reviewed the plots for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Revisions were made to the geospatial database as needed. Process_Date: 2000 Process_Step: Process_Description: First draft of metadata created using FGDCMETA.AML ver. 1.2 05/14/98 on ARC/INFO data set jsp24k Process_Date: 20000228 Process_Step: Process_Description: The database files, metadata, and check plots were edited by the USGS Central Publications Group, and revisions made to the geospatial database and metadata as needed. Process_Date: 2000 Process_Step: Process_Description: The geospatial database files and metadata were quality checked for completeness and consistency.

The jsp24k coverage contains all contact lines and label points for each of the map polygons. The jsppnt coverage includes point data that represents bedding attitude and descriptive symbology for the jsp24k coverage fault lines. The jspcontrol coverage contains point data that represents elevation control points used by the geologist during field mapping. The jspcontour coverage contains elevations of the base of the Boone Formation. >DATABASE STRUCTURE - ARC/INFO ==================================== > >Jasper Geology Coverage (jsp24k) > >AAT > >The arc attribute table contains two user-defined items: > >Item name width output type >DESCRIPTION 25 25 c >LINECODE 5 5 n > >The item 'LINECODE' contains the number that corresponds to >a line symbol in ArcInfo lineset carto.lin > >contact = 1 >quad boundary = 1 >cross-section = 18 >exposed fault = 102 >inferred fault = 110 >concealed fault = 149 > >PAT > >The polygon attribute table contains four user-defined items: > >Item name width output type >GEOLOGY 10 10 C >COLOR 3 3 N >HATCH 10 10 I >SPECGEO 10 10 C > >The item 'geology' corresponds to the geologic code (ex: Qty, > Qto) >The item 'color' corresponds to the appropriate number in the > shadeset wpgcmykg.shd >The item 'hatch' is used to specify the hatch marks required > to plot Mbs units.
