Geologic datasets for weights of evidence analysis in northeast Washington
-1. Geologic raster data. By David E. Boleneus and J. Douglas Causey.  
Open-File Report OF 00-495  36 pp, 2 figures, one table, four appendixes, 
metadata and files containing raster images. 

A preliminary digital geologic map was digitally compiled for northeast Washington. 
Four thematic raster files (geologic map units, faults, folds, and dikes) were produced for use
in future spatial analysis. Descriptions of the geologic map units were standardized, 
as were the map unit labels used to identify the units on visual outputs.  The study area 
encompases the area longitude 117-120 degrees and latitude 48-49 degrees and includes the 
six, 1:100,000-scale maps of Colville, Chewelah, Republic, Nespelem, Omak and Oroville. 

Text of the report (0.4 MB) is available in portable document format (Adobe Acrobat PDF) 
and a zipped file (4.7MB) is available that contains of the four raster (grid) files of geologic map 
units, faults, fold, and dikes in ArcInfo exchange format (.e00) and the metadata. To obtain 
copies of the digital data, do one of the following:  
1. Download from the USGS public access World Wide Web site on the 
Internet URL =  http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of00-495 
 Or  
2. Anonymous FTP from geopubs.wr.usgs.gov, in the directory pub/open-file/of00495.

They contain the following files:
_README                  	(ascii)
of00-495.doc	                	(text of report, figures, metadata, appendixes, PDF)
of00-495.met                      	(metadata, text)
newa			(zip file)

The zipped file, newa, contains the following files:
newageol.e00                         	(raster file of geologic map)
