- Abstract:
- Bedrock geologic map of the Winchester 7.5 minute
quadrangle, Frederick County, VA, USA.
- Purpose:
- This map was produced to provide basic geologic
information for land-use planning and ground-water aquifer studies.
This data will be incorporated into a 3-dimesional model of the
hydrogeologic framework of the lower Shenandoah Valley.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- All polygon atrtributes were checked for correct values
against original field data by the geologists.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no
rigorous formal test were performed. Polygon coverages were queried to
screen for empty or inconsistent values. Line geometry is topologically
clean.
- Completeness_Report: The data are complete at a
resolution of 1:24,000
- Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- These data were created by delineating the boundaries
from inked lines on a stable-base USGS 7.5 minute topographic map at
1:24,000 scale. Therefore, the mapped horizontal accuracy is assumed to
be within National Map Accuracy Standards, with a horizontal accuracy
of 45.6 feet at the 95% confidence level.
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- These data were created by delineating the boundaries
from inked lines on a stable-base USGS 7.5 minute topographic map at
1:24,000 scale. Therefore, the mapped vertical accuracy is assumed to
be within National Map Accuracy Standards, with a horizontal accuracy
of 11.9 feet at the 95% confidence level.

-
- Process_Description:
- A digital geographic base layer was created by
georegistering then rectifying a .tiff image of the USGS 7.5 minute
quadrangle. RMS error was required to be less than 3 meters (10 ft) in
ground units. Geologic data was added as layers in ArcInfo 8.2 from
field maps and notes by the authors. The shape files were converted to
coverages and edited to eliminate dangles, gaps, and other errors, then
were built to the appropriate topology. Items were created for features
in each coverage and attributed as appropriate. Test plots were
generated and provided to the author for comparison to the original
data and corrections made to all errors identified. A separate database
file for map_unit polygon attributes was generated and populated in
Microsoft Access 2000, exported as a .dbf file, converted in Arc/Info
to an Info file, then joined to each polygon coverage using map_unit as
the join item. The coverages were then exported back to shapefiles for
distribution.
