    Description:

      Abstract:

        This dataset represents surficial geologic mapping of the Hughes

        quadrangle, Alaska.  It is used to create the mapsheet in

        MF-2408, which shows surficial deposits of the 1:250,000 scale

        Hughes quadrangle in north central Alaska.

      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 than 1:250,000.

    Data_Set_Credit:

      This digital coverage was created by the Earth

      Satellite Corporation, Greenhorne and O'Mara, and

      Keith Labay Raytheon ITSS contractor.

    Native_Data_Set_Environment:

      Data set was created using ESRI ARC/Info version 7.2.1 on a

      Unix platform.

  Data_Quality_Information:

    Attribute_Accuracy:

      Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

        The linework was captured by scanning an inked mylar

        overlay to create a TIFF that was then autovectorized.

        After vectorization, the linework was imported, and the

        file was attributed in ARC/INFO.  The digital data has

        been visually checked and the geologic map has

        undergone technical review.

    Logical_Consistency_Report:

      Coverage hugeol is a network coverage containing

      arcs and polygons.  Each polygon has a coded attribute

      designating the mapped geologic unit. Stratigraphic contacts

      and water boundaries are represented as arcs.  There are

      two associated info files hugeol.lut and hugeol.lut2 that were

      used to assign symbols, overprints, and labels when plotting

      from ARC/INFO.



      Coverage humorph is an arc coverage containing faults,

      moraines, and scarps.  All dangling arcs will be present here.



      Coverage hupoint is a point coverage used to place

      symbols for directional arrows, passes, and pingos.

    Completeness_Report:

      These coverages were used to create the map portion of

      MF-2408.  Text files, tables, graphics, symbolsets,

      and topography shown on the map sheet are not included.

          Users of this digital geologic map should respect the

          intentions of the original mappers and the limitations

          of the map.  This geologic map compilation is intended

          to be used at a scale of 1:250,000; it is not intended to

          be used at a more detailed scale.

      Process_Step:

        Process_Description:

          The linework was captured by scanning an inked mylar

          overlay to create a TIFF that was then autovectorized.

          After vectorization, the lineworks was imported, and

          the arcs and polygons were attributed.  For the purpose

          of distribution, the coverage has been converted to an

          interchange format file using the ARC/INFO export

          command.

          below is defined by the information from the FORMATION and NAME items.

          Map units shown in parentheses indicate thin and generally discontinuous

          deposits above near-surface bedrock.  Unit labels containing a slash indicate

          compound units where one unit is stratagraphically above another.

          Units queried where uncertain.

        Attribute_Definition:

          OVERPRINT is a positive integer value (3 3 i) item in the

          polygon attribute table.  Values range from 0 to 1.  OVERPRINT identifies

          those polygons that will have an overprint pattern on the map.  Such as near-surface

          bedrock, pediments, and altiplanation terraces. Those areas with surface and subsurface 

          lacustrine deposits, and heavily eroded surficial units.  Included in the .pat because  

          not all polygons for a particular unit will have an overprint.

          polygon attribute table.  Values range from 0 to 1.  Compound units are map units shown with

          slashes that indicate deposits of the first unit above known

          or inferred deposits of the second unit.

        Attribute_Label: SYMBOL

        Attribute_Definition:

          SYMBOL is a positive integer value (4 3 B) item in the

          point attribute table.  Every unique type of point has a unique

          SYMBOL value.  Each SYMBOL value listed below is described

          and then defined by the information from the DESCRIPTION item.
