The atlas was begun as an effort to depict the areal distribution of surficial geologic deposits and other materials that accumulated or formed during the past 2+ million years, the period that includes all activities of the human species. These materials are at the surface of the Earth. They make up the ground on which we walk, the dirt in which we dig foundations, and the soil in which we grow crops. Most of our human activity is related in one way or another to these surface materials that are referred to collectively by many geologists as regolith, the mantle of fragmental and generally unconsolidated material that overlies the bedrock foundation of the continent. The maps were compiled at 1:1,000,000 scale. Purpose: In recent years, surficial deposits and materials have become the focus of much interest by scientists, environmentalists, governmental agencies, and the general public. They are the foundations of ecosystems, the materials that support plant growth and animal habitat, and the materials through which travels much of the water required for our agriculture, our industry, and our general well being. They also are materials that easily can become contaminated by pesticides, fertilizers, and toxic wastes. In this context, the value of the surficial geologic map is evident. NOTE: This map is the product of collaboration of the Oklahoma Geological Survey. the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, and the U.S. Geological Survey, and is designed for both scientific and practical purposes. It was prepared in two stages. First, separate maps and map explanations of that part of each State included in the quadrangle were prepared by the State compilers. Second, these maps were integrated and locally supplemented by the editors; map unit symbols were revised to a uniform system of classification; and map unit descriptions were prepared from information received from the State compilers and from additional sources. Differences of mapping or interpretation in different areas were resolved by correspondence to the extent possible; most simply reflect differences in available information or differences in philosophies of mapping and serve to encourage further investigation. Richard M. Pratt plotted the volcanic ash locality symbols and prepared the index map of eolian sand and loess distribution. Less than forty percent of the surficial deposits of the United States have been mapped and described. Traditionally, mapping of surficial deposits has focused on glacial, alluvial, eolian, lacustrine. marine, and landslide deposits. Slope and upland deposits have been mapped in detail only in restricted areas. However, an enormous amount of engineering construction and many important problems of land use and land management occur in regions of extensive slope and upland deposits (colluvium and residuum, for example). These materials have many different physical characteristics. Therefore, an effort has been made to classify, map, and describe these deposits on the basis of published and unpublished subsoil data, distribution and structure of bedrock parent materials, slope, and unpublished interpretations of individuals. An attempt has been made to show the gradual change that takes place from east to west across Oklahoma and Texas from acid soils and predominantly chemical weathering products (decomposition residua) to calcareous soils and predominantly mechanical weathering products (disintegration residua). The classification is crude, but represents a first step toward a more refined and useful product. For scientific purposes, the map differentiates Quaternary surficial deposits on the basis of lithology, texture, genesis, stratigraphic relationships, and age, as shown on the correlation diagram and indicated in the map unit descriptions. Geomorphic features are not distinguished as map units, and terraced alluvial deposits along streams are broadly grouped in time because of the impossibility of mapping them individually at a scale of 1:1,000,000. For practical purposes, the map is a surficial materials map. Materials are distinguished on the basis of texture, composition, and local specific characteristics such as swelling clay. It is not a map of pedologic or agronomic soils. Rather it is a generalized map of soils as recognized in engineering geology, or of subsoils or parent materials from which pedologic and agronomic soils are formed. As a materials map it serves as a base from which engineering, land-use- planning, or land-management maps can be derived. However, it does not replace detailed site study and analysis. Supplemental_Information: This database represents an attempt to digitally capture all the geologic information available on the published paper map. Separate coverages are provided for the map unit polygons and line coverages for the hydrology and topography. The description of map units and sources of information are both included as a PDF file. The published maps of the Quaternary Geologic Atlas of the United States used three separate projections. To promote uniformity, the projection of this database was changed from Lambert Conformal Conic to Albers Equal Area and all subsequent digital databases will similarly be changed to Albers Equal Area Projection. Illustrations are provided showing an index to the International Map of the World 1:1,000,000; areas of responsibility for the compilation of the map; distribution and thickness of loess in the map area; and showing the correlation of map units. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in ArcInfo format, this metadata file includes some ArcInfo-specific terminology. >The dataset for the Dallas quadrangle consists of 10 coverages. > geo_net > geo_lin > geo_pnt > hydr_lin > topo_lin > bnd_lin > bnd_poly > rd_lin > rr_lin > grid_lin > The dataset also includes an ArcInfo AML, markerset, and shadeset that will produce the Illustrator or ArcInfo PDF file of the geology and list of map units.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: PDF Data_Set_Credit: The Quaternary Geologic Map of the Dallas 4° x 6° Quadrangle, United States, I-1420 (NI-14) was compiled by: Kenneth V. Luza, Kathryn N. Jensen, and William D. Fishman, Oklahoma Geological Survey; E.G. Wermund, Texas Bureau of Economic Geology; and Gerald M. Richmond, U.S. Geological Survey. The map was edited and integrated by Gerald M. Richmond and Ann Coe Christiansen, U.S. Geological Survey. The compilation of geology was converted to digital form by TechniGraphic Systems, Inc., of Fort Collins, CO, under contract with the U.S. Geological Survey and modified by Charles A. Bush. The topographic and hydrographic coverages, illustrations, word-processor files, and National Atlas coverages were prepared by Bush. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Windows_XP, 4.0, Intel ArcInfo version 9.2 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Compilation of geologic data: The accuracy of the map data is dependent on (1) the accuracy of the original source data, (2) the accuracy of transfer of those data to larger scale bases by the compilers, (3) the procedures by which the compilers and the editor/integrator simplified or generalized the data, and (4) the procedures used by, and the objectivity exercised by, the editor/integrator in integration of adjacent parts of the map that were prepared by different compilers. Consequently, aspects of accuracy for the data set cannot be quantified. Digitization and attributing of compilation: Digitizing contractor scanned source stable-base contact lines and water boundaries, vectorized scan, attributed files, and produced check plots and coverages of map units. Bush digitized hydrography and topography from the stable-base mylar. C.A. Bush rectified differences between the geology and the hydrology, proofread check plots, added additional attribution, and reviewed digital files; made final corrections as needed; produced graphical files and imported them into graphics program to prepare plot file; proofread cartographic product; prepared illustrations and word-processing files of descriptions of map units and sources of information. The original paper map was scanned and recreated as PDF files. (The original map was thoroughly reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature.) Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon and chain-node topology are present. The ArcInfo commands BUILD and CLEAN were run to ensure the topological consistency of the data set. All polygons are labeled and were tested by using the ArcInfo command LABELERRORS. All polygons were checked for closure and intersections. Completeness_Report: These coverages contain polygons for all the map units, and lines for all the contacts and shorelines. All geologic data from the original map are expressed on this map. Any differences between elements on the original map and attributed polygons or arcs in this database are inadvertent and should not be construed as deliberate alterations of the data. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of location of polygons, lines, and points is consistent with the map scale of 1:1,000,000. The digital file was prepared at 1:1,000,000 nominal viewing scale. If the map is enlarged to larger scales (for example, 1:250,000, 1:100,000, or 1:24,000 scale), resolution of the map data is greatly diminished. Enlargement will not restore resolution that was lost by simplification or generalization of data. Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Gerald M.

Process_Date: 2009 Process_Step: Process_Description: Bush acquired National Atlas of the United States 1:2,000,000 digital data for roads, railroads, and county boundaries in the United States. Data was clipped to cover only the area of the map. Since the files are intended only for the user's reference, and to reduce file size, all attributes were removed from the railroad coverage. All attributes were removed from the roads coverage except U.S. and State highway designations. A coverage was created containing map boundaries, and State and county boundaries. These coverages do not exactly match the base used in preparation of the original Quaternary Atlas map, but are included for the user's convenience.
