| Data
This digital database was originally compiled in ArcInfo coverage format. The database was upgraded for this release to ArcGIS 9.3.1 personal geodatabase format and consists of geologic map feature classes for Sheet 1 from U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-2005. ArcGIS-compatible GIS software is therefore required to use the files of this database. The geodatabase is stored in a single zipped folder (DS-842.zip) in this release for ease of transfer. The scale of the source mapping limits the spatial resolution of the database to 1:250,000 scale or less detailed. Available ArcGIS feature classes are described below:
ArcGIS feature class |

geologic_lines |
Contacts between rock units (lines) |
