(1)Denver, Colorado 1994 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Digital Geologic Map of Wyoming in ARC/INFO Format by Gregory N. Green and Patricia H. Drouillard This database, identified as OFR-94-0425, The Digital Geologic Map of Wyoming in ARC/INFO Format, has been approved for release and publication by the Director of the USGS. Although this database has been subjected to rigorous review and is substantially complete, the USGS reserves the right to revise the data pursuant to further analysis and review. Furthermore, it is released on condition that neither the USGS nor the United States Government may be held liable for any damages resulting from its authorized or unauthorized use. The database can be downloaded via 'anonymous ftp' from a USGS system named greenwood.cr.usgs.gov (136.177.48.5). The files are located in a directory named /pub/open-file-reports/ofr-94-0425. The database manager is: Gregory N. Green (303) 236-5390 ggreen@greenwood.cr.usgs.gov U.S. Geological Survey Box 25046, Mail Stop 905 Denver, CO 80225 This geologic map was prepared as part of a study of digital methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic maps. The geologic map was digitized from the original scribe sheets used to prepare the published Geologic Map of Wyoming (Love and Christiansen, 1985). Consequently, the digital version is at 1:500,000 scale using the Lambert Conformal Conic map projection parameters of the State base map. Stable base contact prints of the scribe sheets were scanned on a Tektronix 4991 digital scanner. The scanner automatically converts the scanned image to an ASCII vector format. These vectors were transferred to a VAX minicomputer, where they were then loaded into ARC/INFO. Each vector and polygon was given attributes derived from the original 1985 geologic map. This database was developed on a MicroVAX computer system using VMS 5.4-3 and ARC/INFO 5.0.2 software. The lineset and shadeset files are coded for a Calcomp electrostatic plotter. The database was reviewed at the University of Wyoming, Wyoming Water Resources Center. The review was cross-checked at the USGS in Denver. The authors wish to thank Dave Love and Ann Coe Christiansen for providing access to the original Geologic Map of Wyoming scribe sheets and negatives. For the digital review, we also thank Pat Stamile of the USGS and Chris Arneson and Laisan Serebryakov of the University of Wyoming Water Resources Center.

In order use this database, ARC/INFO software and hardware and FTP transfer software to copy the database to the ARC/INFO platform are required. To install the database, run LOAD.AML. WATER, ROADS, CONTOURS, AND TOWNS: Published geologic maps are prepared using a USGS topographic base map that contains the hydrology, hypsography, and political features. Because this digital version of the Geologic Map of Wyoming started with the original geologic scribe sheets, these features were not present. Only those water bodies that were required to close polygons were added by hand. The digital hydrology is not complete or as accurate as the original USGS 1:500,000 topographic base. A few water bodies were added for visual effect. No roads, contours, or towns were present on the geologic scribe sheets and none were added to this digital version. LINESETS, SHADESETS, AND FONTS: The plot program WYOMING.AML uses two linesets, CARTO.LIN and CCA.LIN. As the WYOMING.AML runs, black lines are produced from the INFO item BW which calls the ARC/INFO CARTO.LIN line set; to generate color lines the INFO item CCA calls the electrostatic 1024 color line set file, included as lineset CCALIN.E00. To produce polygons three shadesets are used. Color polygons are produced from the INFO item CCA which calls the electrostatic 1024 color shadeset file, included as shadeset CCASHD.E00. To generate polygon patterns the INFO items DOT and PLT call the shadeset file DOT, included as DOTSHD.E00 and the shadeset file PLOTTER.E00. PLOTTER.SHD is the default ARC/INFO shade set. The text font for the four special geologic symbols is included as font FNT003.FNT. The ASCII code for @ has been redefined to the symbol for Triassic, the ASCII code for & has been redefined to the symbol for Pennsylvanian, the ASCII code for _ has been redefined to the symbol for Cambrian, and the ASCII code for ! has been redefined to the symbol for Proterozoic and Late Archean. CONTACTS, DECORATIONS, DIKES, BORDER, and EXPLANATION coverages: The Digital Wyoming Geologic Map is made of four spatial datasets. The map coverages are (1) contacts and faults, (2) decorations,(3) dikes, and (4) the border-title. The attributed vector portion of the contact coverage is CONTACT.AAT. The attributed closed polygons of the contact coverage is CONTACT.PAT. DECO.AAT is an attributed vector graphic overlay of the decoration coverage. This dataset contains the teeth of thrust faults, shear zones, bars and balls, impact structure, diatremes, and ARC/INFO annotation. The polygon portion of the decoration coverage, DECO.PAT, is an attributed closed polygon graphic overlay. In order to fill the teeth and the balls with black paint, these had to be topologically structured. DIKES.AAT is the attributed vector file of the single line outcrops. Dikes at a scale of 1:500,000 are best represented by a thin single line and consequently have no area. The DIKES.PAT file is present but blank. The BORDER coverage is the scale bars with ARC/INFO annotation. The Explanation sheets replicate the original explanations and references, within the limits of ARC/INFO.
