It was first published as a printed edition in 1986. The geologic data have now been captured digitally and are presented here along with images of the printed map sheet and component parts as PDF files. The Quaternary Geologic Map of the Wichita 4° x 6° Quadrangle was mapped as part of the Quaternary Geologic Atlas of the United States. 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. Supplemental_Information: This map is the product of collaboration between State geological surveys 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. Harold Dickey and H.G. O'Connor assisted J.E. Denne in the preparation of map unit descriptions in Kansas. R.M. Pratt prepared the loess distribution and thickness diagram and assisted in plotting volcanic ash localities. Differences in mapping or interpretation in different areas were resolved by correspondence to the extent possible. Most simply reflect differences in available information or in philosophies of mapping, and should encourage further investigation. Less than forty percent of the surficial deposits of the United States have been mapped and described. Traditionally, mapping of surficial deposits has been focused on glacial, alluvial, eolian, lacustrine, marine, and landslide deposits. Slope and upland deposits have been mapped in detail only in restricted areas. However, much 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). Therefore, an effort has been made to classify, map, and describe these deposits on the basis of published and unpublished subsoil data and interpretations and the distribution of bedrock parent materials. 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. The gradual change in the character of subsoils from thick, predominantly decomposition residua of Tertiary and Quaternary age common to the unglaciated eastern States to thin, predominantly disintegration residua of middle and late Quaternary age common to the semiarid Western Interior takes place in a broad zone that lies along the eastern base of the High Plains escarpment. However, in this quadrangle, the disintegration residua are not sufficiently exposed to be mapped at 1:1,000,000 scale, owing to an extensive cover of loess on the uplands and to a mantle of colluvium on the slopes of valleys. In addition, both the decomposition and the disintegration residua appear to have been extensively thinned and, in places, stripped by middle and late Pleistocene deflation and sheetwash erosion, the effects of which increase from east to west across the quadrangle. 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 soils as soils are defined and classified by pedologists or agronomists. 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 a wide variety of derivative maps for use in planning for engineering, land-use, or land-management projects can be compiled. However, it does not replace detailed site study and analysis. 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. 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, linear and point features, locations of important stratigraphic features, and line coverages for the hydrology and topography. The description of map units and sources of information are both included as PDF files. 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 Modified Polyconic 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 International Map of the World 1:1,000,000 topographic series; loess distribution and thickness; areas of responsibility for the compilation of the map; showing the correlation of map units; and a chart showing deposits and local faunas included in map units agl, asg, and agp in four areas of Kansas and northwestern Oklahoma, their relative ages, magnetic polarity, and suggested relationship to pre-Illinoian glacial deposits in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: PDF Data_Set_Credit: The Quaternary Geologic Map of the Wichita 4° x 6° Quadrangle, United States, I-1420 (NJ-14) was compiled by Jane Denne, Kansas Geological Survey; Kenneth V. Luza, Katheryn M. Jensen, and William D. Fishman, Oklahoma Geological Survey; E.G. Wermund, Jr., Texas Bureau of Economic Geology; and Gerald M. Richmond, U.S. Geological Survey. The state compilations were edited and integrated by Gerald M. Richmond and Ann Coe Christiansen, U.S. Geological Survey. The compilations of geology, linear, and point features, hydrology, and topographic layer, were 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. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Windows XP 5.1, 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 that 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. In addition, conflicts pertaining to the placement of features existed between the geology and hydrography hard copy source data, making it necessary to conflate the data sources into a single workable coverage. Cartographic and geologic experience and knowledge were used to provide a best fit solution for this problem. Digitization and attributing of compilation: The contractor scanned source stable-base material, vectorized scan, attributed files, and produced check plots and coverages. C.A. Bush proofread check plots, and reviewed digital files; made final additions and 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, lines for all the contacts and linear features, and points for all the locations of striations, upland chert gravels, buried Pleistocene river channels, and location of ash bed localities and local fauna localities. All geologic data from the original map are expressed on this map. Any differences between elements on the original map and attributed polygons, arcs, and points 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.

Process_Date: 2002 Process_Step: Process_Description: C.A. Bush acquired National Atlas of the United States 1:2,000,000 digital data for roads, railroads, state boundaries, and county boundaries in the United States. Data were 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. All attributes were removed from the county boundaries except the county name and the state name. 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. Process_Date: 2006 Process_Step: Process_Description: C.A. Bush created illustration of the index map on the paper map in a drawing program and changed it to reflect the status of conversion of Quaternary Geologic Atlas quadrangles to digital databases. Bush scanned original printed map and also separated state compilation responsibility and map unit correlation diagrams, other illustrations, cleaned the scans, and converted them to PDF format. Process_Date: 2006 Process_Step: Process_Description: Map unit descriptions and sources of information as given on the printed map were scanned and converted by an Optical Character Recognition computer program into text files and to PDF format(Bush). Process_Date: 2006 Process_Step: Process_Description: Coverages of geology, point, and linear features were checked and corrected or changed. Additional items were included in the attributes. A separate coverage to show the three map units that overlie gravel. AML's were created to plot the data. Plots were imported into graphics program to create a plotfile of the digital map (Bush).
