Publication_Date: 1998 Title: Geologic map of Central (Interior) Alaska Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map Series_Information: Series_Name: USGS Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 98-133 Description: Abstract: This coverage represents a compilation of reconnaisance geologic mapping of the Sleetmute quadrangle, Alaska. Purpose: Digital conversion of geologic mapping of the Sleetmute quadrangle, Alaska, was undertaken to generate a 1:500,000 scale digital geologic map of Alaska, and to facilitate the presentation and analysis of earth-science data. Digital maps can be displayed at any scale or projection, however the geological data in this coverage is not intended for use at a scale larger than 1:250,000.

Wilson, and Nathan Pannkuk (contractor) Native_Data_Set_Environment: This coverage was created using ESRI ARC/Info version 7 on a Unix platform. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The linework was captured by hand digitizing from a 1:250,000 scale paper maps. The arc and polygon attributes are based on the published thematic maps. Linework for two-side rivers, shoreline, ice contacts were hand digitized from a 1:250,000 scale paper topographic map. The data source of each feature is coded in the attribute table. Accuracy of the data capture was evaluated by visual checks against the original publication by a person other than the person who captured the data. This thematic bedrock map depicts geologic units present beneath soil or relatively thin mantles of surficial deposits, not necessarily the surficial materials themselves. Attributes of the polygons provide coding keyed to the original units of the source map, and coding keyed to the generalized geologic units for the compilation of which this map is only a small part of. Logical_Consistency_Report: This coverage is a net coverage containing arcs and polygons. Each polygon has a class attribute classifying bedrock, surficial deposit, or water/ice body. Faults and stratigraphic contacts are represented as arcs. When a fault is also a stratigraphic contact, only a single arc is present. Dangling arcs may be present (faults, dikes, crater rim, etc.) Completeness_Report: This digital map differs from the original published geologic map in several ways. The digital version does not include topography, structural fold axes, annotation, strike and dip symbols, or locations of fossils or geochronlogy samples. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Users of this digital geologic map should respect the intentions of the original mappers and the map compilers, and the limitations of the map. The Anchorage geologic map is intended to be used at a scale of 1:250,000; it is not intended to be used at a more detailed scale.

The linework was edited and attributed using ARC/Info. The coverage was cleaned, built for polygons, and had labels created and attributed. For the purpose of distribution, the coverage has been converted to an interchange format file using the ARC/Info export command.
