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 of 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 the parts of States 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 State compilers and from additional sources. Diagrams accompanying the map were prepared by the editors. 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 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 are associated with regions that have extensive slope and upland deposits (colluvium, residuum, and saprolite, for example). These materials have many different physical characteristics. Therefore, an effort has been made to classify, map, and describe these deposits, based in large part on unpublished interpretations, published and unpublished subsoil data, 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 a combination of criteria, such as lithology, texture, genesis, stratigraphic relationships, and age, as shown on the correlation diagram and indicated in the map unit descriptions. Some geomorphic features, such as end moraines, are distinguished as map units. Erosional features, such as stream terraces, are not distinguished, and differentiation of sequences of alluvial deposits of different ages is rarely possible at a scale of 1:1,000,000. Most landslide deposits are too small to be shown at this scale. 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 recognized and classified in pedology or agronomy. 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 engineering, land use, or land management projects can be compiled. 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. Unit tkp is mapped as both ground-moraine and end-moraine deposits. For clarity in the database, the units were changed to tkp(g) and tkp(e). The age of unit elb is listed on the original map as both "HOLOCENE, WISCONSIN, AND ILLINOIAN," and "HOLOCENE, LATE WISCONSIN, AND ILLINOIAN." Since it is more inclusive, "HOLOCENE, WISCONSIN, AND ILLINOIAN" is used in the database. 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; and correlation of map units.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: PDF Data_Set_Credit: The Quaternary Geologic Map of the Ozark Plateau 4° x 6° Quadrangle, United States, I-1420 (NJ-15) was compiled by John W. Whitfield and Ronald A. Ward, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Land Survey; Jane E. Denne, Kansas Geological Survey; Drew F. Holbrook and William V. Bush, Arkansas Geological Commission; Jerry A. Lineback, Illinois State Geological Survey; and Kenneth V. Luza, Katheryn M. Jensen, and William D. Fishman, Oklahoma Geological Survey. The state compilations were edited and integrated by Gerald M. Richmond and David L. Weide, U.S. Geological Survey. The compilations of geology, linear, and point features, hydrology, and topographic layer, were converted to digital form by Charles A. Bush, U.S. Geological Survey. 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: C.A. Bush scanned source stable-base material, vectorized scan, attributed files, and produced check plots and coverages, 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 locations important stratigraphic sections. 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.

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.
