Description:
Abstract:
Data set describes the geology of Paleozoic through Quaternary units in the Alligator Ridge area, which hosts disseminated gold deposits. These digital files were used to create the 1:24,000-scale geologic map of the Buck Mountain East and Mooney Basin Summit Quadrangles and parts of the Sunshine Well NE and Long Valley Slough Quadrangles, White Pine County, east-central Nevada.
Purpose:
Digital representation of geologic mapping facilitates the presentation and analysis of earth-science data. Digital maps may be displayed at any scale or projection, however the geologic data in this coverage is not intended for use at a scale larger that 1:24,000.

Data_Set_Credit:
Constance J. Nutt mapped the geology from 1993 to 1997. Map was digitized by and ARC/INFO database created by Tracey Mercier, Clark Woodward, and Nancy Shock. Database structure checked by Nancy Shock. Norma J. Maes prepared the Adobe Illustrator map layout, which was used for the printed paper map and gif and pdf plot and browse graphic files. F.C. Brunstein edited the geologic map and the Illustrator layout and prepared the metadata.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The original inked geology was digitized in ARC/INFO. The lines and polygon attributes were checked against the original geology and corrected as neccessary. Shadeset and lineset attributes were added in ARC. The digital database was quality checked against original materials, and the database structure was checked. The ARC/INFO files were imported into Illustrator 8, and the map layout was completed in Illustrator. The Illustrator layout was used to produce the GIF and PDF browse graphic files and the plot file, as well as the printed paper map. The illustrator layout was proofed before the GIF and PDF files were made and before the map was printed.
