Description:
Abstract: This report presents the results of the USGS Mineral Resources Program activity to compile a national-scale geologic map database to support national and regional level projects, including mineral resource and geoenvironmental assessments. The only comprehensive sources of regional- and national-scale geologic maps are state geologic maps with scales ranging from 1:100,000 to 1:1,000,000. Digital versions of these state maps form the core of what is presented here. Because no adequate geologic map exists for the state of Alaska, it is being compiled in regional blocks that also form part of this national database. It is expected that this series will completed by approximately the end of 2007. These maps and databases are being released in blocks of states or, in the case of Alaska, as compiled blocks of 1:250,000-scale quadrangles as chapters in this series. For Alaska, formal maps as well as databases are being published here, whereas for the conterminous U.S. only state databases and preview graphics are presented, because published maps for most states already exist. For Alaska these regional compilations will form the base for compiling a new geologic map of the state. As documented in Chapter A, standards for the conterminous U.S. are somewhat different than those for Alaska and Hawaii.
Purpose: A primary goal of this work is to develop geologic map datasets with standardized structure and attribution. The database design and standards are documented in Chapter A of this series. The intent is that contiguous databases can be merged seamlessly and without any additional effort. In addition to a common database structure, the conterminous U.S. state databases (the contiguous 48 states) have been fitted to a set of standard state boundaries so that, when states are merged, they match without slivers or overlap. No attempt has been made to reconcile differences in mapping across state boundaries.
Supplemental_Information:
This database consists of five major Arc/Info GIS datasets for each state;
- one: geologic map with formations,
- two: faults (where present),
- three: dikes (where present),
- four: miscellaneous line features (where present),
- five: miscellaneous point features (where present).

Accuracy of Alabama state boundary and those arcs intersecting it: The accuracy of the state boundary arcs is based on the 1:100,000 scale original data used to produce this boundary. (Johnson, Bruce R. and Leveritch, Beth, 1998, 1:100,000 Scale State Boundaries of the Conterminous United States: U.S. Geological Survey, unpublished (see metadata file: st100kmeta.txt, Chapter A))
Those internal arcs intersecting the state boundary were extended or shortened as needed to complete polygons, possibly creating a small amount of error.

Process_Step:
Process_Description: The purpose of this standardization is to allow all SGMC covers to be seamlessly joined without any additional effort to form regional or national level digital maps. Note that for Alaska, the state is being compiled as blocks of 1:250k quadrangles that will ultimately be used to compile a new state map. Douglas Stoeser and Ric Wilson are co-coordinators for the overall SGMC effort, with Stoeser coordinating work on the mainland states and Wilson coordinating work for Alaska and Hawaii.
Process_Date: 2003 - 2004
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
C.L. Dicken obtained the digital geologic map of Alabama from Julia Mueller. A digital geologic map of Alabama, produced by the Geological Survey of Alabama under contract, was provided to Julia Mueller by Andrew Grosz at the U.S. Geological Survey during the summer of 1998.
The coverage was re-projected into the following:
projection: Lambert Conformal Conic
units: meters
datum: NAD27
standard parallel 1: 33 0 0.000
standard parallel 2: 45 0 0.000
central meridian: -100 0 0.000
reference latitude: 0 0 0.000
false easting: 0.00000
false northing: 0.00000
All attributes were deleted except map_code.
(Note: Attributes associated with the generation of the coverages were not deleted.
PAT - shape, area, perimeter, coverage#, and coverage-id
AAT - shape, fnode#, tnode#, lnode#, rnode#, length, coverage#, and coverage-id)
The values from map_code where then calculated into a new field called orig_label.
Process_Date: 20050203
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The relevant state outline (arcs) was removed from the coverage and replaced with the arcs from the 1:100,000 Scale State Boundaries of the Conterminous United States.
This allows for a seamless fit of each state to a standard state boundary base.
Process_Date: 20050203
Process_Step:
Process_Description: All arcs were selected and the command unsplit none was performed. This reduced the number of arcs from over 30,000 to around 15,000.
Process_Date: 20050204

Process_Description:
In the digital file, there were a few polygons that had to be retagged because of an error in the file. The following changes were made based on paper source (AL001):
Onsvr was changed to Onvsr
htgt was changed to hfgt
2 polygons of Cr were changed to cr
TI was changed to Tl (upper case i changed to lower case L)
Mpm changed to Mb (one polygon)
MIm changed to Mpm (one polygon)
Mtfp changed to Mf (one polygon)
Mtfp changed to Mpm (one polygon)
Oc changed to Srm (one polygon)
Srm changed to Dcfm (one polygon)
Dcfm changed to Mtfp (one polygon)
Oc changed to PMpwf (one polygon)
Mtfp changed to PMpwf (one polygon)
Srm changed to Mtfp (one polygon)
Mt changed to Mf (two polygons)
Split the following polgyons: Mb(two polygons), Mt and OCAccr
Process_Date: 20050301
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following attributes were exported from Filemaker as a .dbf:
orig_label, map_symbol2, unit_link, reference_id, unit_age, rocktype1, and rocktype2.
orig_label reflects the original map symbol used on the source map
map_symbol2 reflects map-symbol1 with the addition of a province number
unit_link is an auto generated field based on map-symbol2 and the state abbreviation (e.g. IN001) that produces a unique identifier for each map unit
reference_id was populated with an alphanumeric code (e.g. US001) that designates the source used for the linework and other references used to describe the age or lithologies of the unit.
unit_age was populated with general age assignment
rocktype1 records dominant lithology (must be >50% of unit), using standardized data dictionary
rocktype2 records second most dominant lithology, using standardized data dictionary
The attributes were then converted using the following structure:
item name: orig_label
width: 12
output: 12
type: c
item name: sgmc_label
width: 16
output: 16
type: c
item name: unit_link
width: 18
output: 18
type: c
item name: source
width: 6
output: 8
type: c
item name: unit_age
width: 60
output: 60
type: c
item name: rocktype1
width: 40
output: 40
type: c
item name: rocktype2
width: 40
output: 40
type: c
Process_Date: 20050309
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Once the .dbf was in the correct format with standardized column widths and data structure, it was converted into a lookup table (.lut) in Arc/Info. Then a joinitem was performed to join the look-up table to the polygon attribute table. orig_label was used as the merge item.
Special attention was taken to this join because there are multiple units that have more than one province assoicated with the orig_label. Due to this, when joining on orig_label, not all polygons will have the correct attributes associated with them. C.L. Dicken had to go into the coverage after the join and manually update those units with multiple provinces. There are 21 units in Alabama.
Also the following units were retagged with source AL201 to indicate changes from the source:
Onvsr
hfgt
cr
Tl
Process_Date: 20050309
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Arc-code was populated using the paper map source to tag the lines using the AAT line type data dictionary (see Chapter A in this series).
Arc-para1 was populated when additional information was available such as identifying the upthrown side of a fault or direction of thrusting on a fault. (see Chapter A)
Arc-para2 is a scratch field that is used mostly in Alaska.
Source was populated with an alphanumeric code (e.g. US001) that designates the source used for the linework.
Process_Date: 20050315
Process_Step:
Process_Description: Some arcs were in the wrong direction and had to be flipped in order for their directions to be correct when attributing such lines as thrust faults. These specific arcs have a source code of AL102 to indicate a direction change from the source arcs.
Process_Date: 20050316
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Once the .aat and the .pat were populated with the correct attributes, the coverage was exported as an .e00 file (algeol_lcc.e00).
Then it was unprojected into geographic coordinates and exported again (algeol_dd.e00).
Process_Date: 20050406
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The faults were extracted to generate a separate fault file. PUT was the command used to copy the line features from the geology line coverage into a new fault line coverage.
The data were exported as alfaults_lcc.e00) and then unprojected into geographic coordinates and exported again (alfaults_dd.e00).
Process_Date: 20050406
Process_Step:
Process_Description: Finally, the geology lines, geology polygons and fault line coverages were converted into shapefiles; in both geographic coordinates and in Lambert Conformal Conic projection.
