  Description:
    Abstract:
      The map depicts the field distribution and contact relations
      between stratigraphic units, the tectonic relations between
      major stratigraphic sequences, and the detailed internal
      structure of these sequences.  The stratigraphic sequences
      formed in a variety of continental margin depositional
      environments, and subsequently underwent a complex
      deformational history of imbricate thrust faulting and folding.
      A compilation of micro and macro fossil identifications is
      included in this data set.
    Purpose:
      These data were collected in the field by a team of USGS
      geologists preparing a bedrock geologic map preliminary to
      future studies of mineral resources in the Howard Pass and
      adjacent quadrangles.
    Supplemental_Information:
      Digital maps may be displayed at any scale or projection;
      however, the geologic data in this coverage are not intended
      for use at a scale larger than 1:100,000.

  Data_Set_Credit:
    The geology coverage (hwgeol) was created by J.H. Dover, U.S.
    Geological Survey.  The bedding trace coverage (hwbed), fossil
    coverage (hwfossils), and the fold coverage (hwfold), were
    created by Raytheon STX contractors, Jeannette Yarnell, Keith
    Labay,and Lana Cohen.  The coverages were edited by Nora
    Shew, USGS.
  Native_Data_Set_Environment:
    This data set was created using ESRI ARC/Info version 7 on a
    Unix platform.
Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      The linework was captured by hand digitizing from a
      hand-drawn 1:100,000 scale stable mylar base.  Vector and
      polygon attributes were obtained from compilation of field
      maps and other sources.  Bedding traces were mapped from
      air photos.  The digital data were visually checked,
      and the geologic map technically reviewed and edited.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    The geology coverage, hwgeol, is a network coverage
    containing arcs and polygons.  Each polygon has a coded
    attribute designating the mapped geologic unit.  Faults,
    stratigraphic contacts, and other linear features are
    represented as arcs.  When a fault is also a stratigraphic
    contact, only a single arc is present.  Dangling arcs may be
    present (faults, etc.)

    Coverage hwfold is an arc coverage containing fold axis
    information.

    Coverage hwbed is an arc coverage depicting traces of bedding
    shown on the topographic surface.  These traces were mostly
    mapped from air photos.  No attributes.

    Coverage hwfos is a point coverage with annotation
    containing generalized fossil information.
  Completeness_Report:
    These coverages were used to create the map part of the
    Howard Pass geologic map publication.  Text files, tables,and
    graphics shown on the map sheet or pamphlet
    are not included in this data set.

      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
        Users of this digital data set should respect the intentions
        of the original mappers and the limitations of the thematic
        map.  This geologic map compilation is intended to be used at
        as scale of 1:100,000; it is not intended to be used at a
        more detailed scale.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        These data were hand digitized in ARC/Info from a hand-drawn
        1:100,000 scale stable base mylar.  The arcs and polygons
        were attributed.  For the purpose of distribution, the
        coverage has been converted to an interchange format file
        using the Arc/Info export command.

      Entity_Type_Label: hwfold.aat
      Entity_Type_Definition:
        Arcs in hwfold depict the axial trace of folds.  The type of
        fold is described in the arc attribute table, hwfold.aat,
        under the items ARC-CODE, FOLD_TYPE, FOLD_DESC, FOLD_AGE,
        FOLD_LOC and PLUNGE.  ARC-CODE is a numeric code for the fold
        description.  FOLD_TYPE is a text field defining the type of
        fold (syncline, anticline, or overturned or recumbent
        syncline).  FOLD_DESC is a text field that distinguishes
        between intra-sequence folds and folds that deform sequence
        boundaries.  FOLD_AGE is a text field giving age of folding.
        FOLD_LOC is a text field describing the certainty of the
        location. PLUNGE is a text field giving the compass
        direction of the plunge, if known.  For cartographic needs, the
        point symbology was captured in a point coverage, hwfoldpt.
