These regions were depicted on a very small scale index map in that report. No previously published digital report has included this information. The authors of this report have included these separate stratigraphic descriptions in the databases, for users who may want to use them. However, users will have to perform some extra GIS operations with the data included in this report to incorporate this information. This publication is distributed with a spatial dataset containing points that describe the region for each polygon in the user-supplied Digital Geologic Map of Utah (Hintze et al, 2000). These points were created by digitizing the region index map from the original state map, then performing a GIS intersect operation with the map of Hintze, et al. The resulting region boundaries were then removed from the database, resulting in the original state geologic map polygons with a region code. Because the index map was such a small scale, geologic polygons near the region boundaries had to be evaluated and manually assigned a correct region code. Units with ambiguous or indeterminate region assignments were not assigned to a region and therefore are attributed with the state-wide map unit. Purpose: provides region codes to accompany the Geologic Map of Utah Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2003 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -114.047920 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -109.000000 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 42.000786 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 36.999691 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: none Theme_Keyword: Utah Theme_Keyword: geology Theme_Keyword: region Theme_Keyword: stratigraphic Theme_Keyword: column Access_Constraints: none Use_Constraints: none Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: David R.
