Data

This digital database was compiled with ArcInfo version 7.2.1 and consists of files containing geologic map and topographic base data in ArcInfo coverage and grid format. ArcInfo-compatible GIS software is, therefore, required to use the files of this database. The database is stored in a single zipped folder (kilauea.zip) in this release for ease of transfer. The scale of the source map limits the spatial resolution (scale) of the database to 1:24,000 or smaller. Available ArcInfo coverages and grids are described below:
ArcInfo
