The geology was compiled on a 1:250,000 scale topographic base map. TechniGraphic System, Inc. of Fort Collins Colorado digitized this map under contract for N.Shock. G.Green edited and prepared the digital version for publication as a GIS database. The digital geologic map database can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of geologic maps. Purpose: This dataset was developed to provide a geologic map GIS database of Challis National Forest, Idaho for use in spatial analysis by a variety of users.

Published and unpublished sources for the compilation with the paper version accompanying text. Gregory N. Green was responsible for creating the digital product. Process_Step: Process_Description: Clear film positives of the 1:250,000-scale geologic map compilation were electronically scanned to create raster images, converted to vector, polygon, and point GIS layers, and attributed by the contractor Techni Graphics Systems, Inc. of Fort Collins Colorado. At the USGS these files were further attributed, edited, and compared to the original film positives to check for digitizing and attributing errors. Corrections were made as needed.
