Abstract:
New 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping in the Silt 7.5' quadrangle, in support of the USGS Western Colorado I-70 Corridor Cooperative Geologic Mapping Project, provides new interpretations of the stratigraphy, structure, and geologic hazards in the area of the southwest flank of the White River uplift, the Grand Hogback, and the eastern Piceance Basin. The Wasatch Formation was subdivided into three formal members, the Shire, Molina, and Atwell Gulch Members. Also a sandstone unit within the Shire Member was broken out. The Mesaverde Group consists of the upper Williams Fork Formation and the lower Iles Formation. Members for the Iles Formation consist of the Rollins Sandstone, the Cozzette Sandstone, and the Corcoran Sandstone Members. The Cozzette and Corcoran Sandstone Members were mapped as a combined unit. Only the upper part of the Upper Member of the Mancos Shale is exposed in the quadrangle. From the southwestern corner of the map area toward the northwest, the unfaulted early Eocene to Paleocene Wasatch Formation and underlying Mesaverde Group gradually increase in dip to form the Grand Hogback monocline that reaches 45-75 degree dips to the southwest (section A-A'). The shallow west-northwest-trending Rifle syncline separates the northern part of the quadrangle from the southern part along the Colorado River. Geologic hazards in the map area include erosion, expansive soils, and flooding. Erosion includes mass wasting, gullying, and piping. Mass wasting involves any rock or surficial material that moves downslope under the influence of gravity, such as landslides, debris flows, or rock falls, and is generally more prevalent on steeper slopes. Locally, where the Grand Hogback is dipping greater than 60 degrees and the Wasatch Formation has been eroded, leaving sandstone slabs of the Mesa Verde Group unsupported over vertical distances as great as 500 m, the upper part of the unit has collapsed in landslides, probably by a process of beam-buckle failure. In the source area of these landslides strata are overturned and dip shallowly to the northeast. Landslide deposits now armor Pleistocene pediment surfaces and extend at least 1 km into Cactus Valley. Gullying and piping generally occur on more gentle slopes. Expansive soils and expansive bedrock are those unconsolidated materials or rocks that swell when wet and shrink when dry. Most floods are restricted to low-lying areas. Several gas-producing wells extract methane from coals from the upper part of the Iles Formation.

Purpose:
To update and reinterpret earlier geologic mapping, and to provide sufficient geologic information for land-use decisions.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Data were entered and checked by the geologist that made the field observations. The attributes of this geospatial data set consist of text identifiers and numeric codes that indicate the identity of the geologic unit or type of geologic feature, and determine how each feature is colored or symbolized. To check attribute accuracy, a color check plot was visually compared to the geologist's original compilation. Discrepancies between the digital geospatial dataset and the original analog compilation were corrected as needed. Machine-created listings of unique attribute values were used to identify spelling errors or other inconsistencies, and corrections were made as needed. This map has been thoroughly reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature.

Logical_Consistency_Report:
Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closure, and other errors by the author and by the GIS technician(s) that created the digital database. Automated (ArcInfo) routines were also used to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information. Check plots of the map were reviewed by at least two other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards.

Completeness_Report:
Data are complete: no features that could be accurately represented at the compilation scale of 1:24,000 were eliminated or generalized. The smallest area represented is approximately 102 square meters. All geospatial database elements are attributed.

Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Lines were primarily positioned by photointerpretation of aerial photographs by using a PG-2 photogrammetric plotter that rectified the position and transferred it to a basemap. Lines were digitized from the basemap by using a digitizer tablet having a resolution of 0.001 inch. Additional lines and point observations were added in the field by means of positions determined by a PLGR-95 GPS unit having accuracy of about 10 meters. Most positions on the map are estimated to be accurate closer than 30 m horizontally.

DATABASE STRUCTURE - ARC/INFO ====================================

The database of the map consists of three coverages (root name = silt), including corresponding info files:

This GIS database includes related look-up tables, which store detailed attribute information. Arc/Info relates for each coverage are saved in a file named <covername>.rel. Use the RELATE command with the restore argument at the arc prompt to make the relates active. Alternatively, in Arctools, use the Relate environment: open dialog in the Manage - Relates flyout menu under the Arctools menu to make the relates active.

siltpoly coverage: contains all contact lines and labelpoints for each geologic polygon; also contains lines that are limit of overturned strata. In the denvpoly.pat INFO file the LABEL item indicates the rock unit label (abbreviation) used to label the unit on the map. The DESC item contains the formal or informal unit name. The SOURCE item contains the numeric code used to identify the data source for the rock unit. The SYMBOL item contains the shadeset symbol number used by ArcInfo to plot a filled/shaded polygon. The symbol numbers in this coverage refer to the color524.shd shadeset.

In the coverage's siltpoly.aat INFO file the NAME item contains the name given to the structural feature. The SOURCE item contains the numeric code used to identify the data source for the structural feature. The SYMBOL item contains the lineset symbol number used by ArcInfo to plot a line. The symbol numbers in this coverage refer to the geol_sfo.lin lineset.

In the coverage's siltpoly.ref INFO file the SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source. The scale item lists the scale of the source map. (This value is the denominator of the proportional fraction that identifies the scale of the map that was digitized or scanned to produce the digital map.) The AUTHORS item lists the author(s) or compiler(s) of source map entered as last name, first name or initial, and middle initial. The YEAR item lists the source (map) publication date. The REFERENCE item lists the remainder of the reference in USGS reference format.

siltpnt coverage: Contains points recording site-specific observations and measurements, such as strike and dip of bedding. In the siltpnt.pat INFO file the PTTYPE item lists the type of point symbol, e.g., strike and of inclined bedding. The MARKER item lists the markerset used for a particular PTTYPE. MARKER value 1 = GEOSCAMP2.MRK, 2 = OILGAS.MRK, 3 = USGS.MRK. OILGAS.MRK and USGS.MRK are standard ArcInfo markersets. The SYMBOLCD item lists the marker symbol used by ArcInfo to identify the type of structural map symbol. Symbol numbers refer to symbols in the 3 markersets listed above. The STRIKE item contains the strike of bedding. Strike is an azimuthal angle (measured in degrees from 0 to 360 in a clockwise direction from North). The DIP item contains the dip of bedding. This value is an angle measured (in degrees 0 to 90) down from the horizontal; thus a horizontal dip is 0 degrees and a vertical dip is 90 degrees. The CALCANG item contains an interim value used to calculate SYM$ANGLE. The SYM$ANGLE item is the angle used to mathematically rotate the map point symbol to its proper orientation on the map. This item was set equal to the pseudoitem '$ANGLE' (calc SYM$ANGLE = $ANGLE). The SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source.

In the coverage's siltpnt.ref INFO file the SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source. The scale item lists the scale of the source map. (This value is the denominator of the proportional fraction that identifies the scale of the map that was digitized or scanned to produce the digital map.) The AUTHORS item lists the author(s) or compiler(s) of source map entered as last name, first name or initial, and middle initial. The YEAR item lists the source (map) publication date. The REFERENCE item lists the remainder of the reference in USGS reference format.
