Langer and David Smith mapped the geology in 1993 and 1994. The authors' team digitized the map and prepared the ARC/INFO database. Database structure checked by Nancy Shock, and she prepared the files for importing into Adobe Illustrator. Norma J. Maes prepared the Adobe Illustrator map layout, which was used for the on-demand paper map and gif and pdf plot and browse graphic files. F.C. Brunstein edited the publication and prepared some of the files for the Illustrator layout, and prepared the metadata file, which was checked by Nancy Shock.

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 8.0, 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 on-demand paper map. The illustrator layout was proofed before the GIF and PDF files were made and before the map was placed in the map-on-demand system.
