Introduction

This publication includes, in addition to cartographic and text products, geospatial (GIS) databases and other digital files. The database files are particularly useful because they can be combined with any type of other geospatial data for purposes of display and analysis. The other files include digital files that support the databases, and digital plot files that can be used to display and print the cartographic and text products in this publication.

The digital map database, compiled from previously published and unpublished data and new mapping by the author, represents the general distribution of bedrock and surficial deposits in the map area and provides current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area. The database delineates map units that are identified by age and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey. The scale of the source maps limits the spatial resolution (scale) of the database to 1:24,000 or smaller. The content and character of the database, as well as two methods of obtaining the database, are in the Readme file, available below.
